MISS ELIZABETH DEVALCOuRT
An Appreciation.

The following resolution was adopted
by the ladies of the Woman's Auxllia-
ry. OF the Episcopal Church, at a
meeting especially assembled at the
Rectory, Tuesday, March 18th, 1918.
Be it resolved,
That whereas, we fully realize that
the issues of lite and death tneverta-
bly, belong to the unquestIoned dis
pensation or Almighty God, yet, it is
impossible for US to refrain from IN lost
keenly feeling the exceptional loss
that we have been SO suddenly called
upon to sustain in the death OF NJ las
Elizabeth DeValcourt; and the sever
ance of the continued cooperation
that we know would have ever been
so freely given in all the activities
and councils OF the society and had her
presence, in the wisdom of God, been
further vouched safe to Ills.
Being baptized in the Church. some
seventy years ago and confirmed IN
the same at an early age, she has ever,
even before the stormy days Of the
Civil War, unhesitatingly and loving
~ devoted large portions of her active
and useful life to every activity OF the
Church that has required the service
OF Cody women.
She had taught In the Sunday
school for more than fifty years, and
had also contributed the talent of her
magnificent voice, as the able and
faithful leader of the choir, from the
age OF sixteen until her death at that
OF seventy, IA few days ago, on the
night of March the 9th.
She had been an untiring worker in
the various ladies' societies, from their
very incipiency in the parish until
the last meeting Woman's Auxiliary,
just before she was taken from US.
We fully r>alize the inadequacy OF
verbal expression. yet, the sorrow
that pervades our society, and we
know also that of the entire congr. ga
ton. COmpeIs us Il extend to those
still dearer to her our heartfelt sympa-
thy. In this, their deep bereavement,
and to assure them that the cloud that
has so darkened their lives throws It's
shadow over ours also.
We feel that colossal character
has vanished from among us; and |
that kind, sympathetic, and 1ndefa
tigable laborer has been called from
the care and toll Of the Church mill
tant to the rest and glory OF the
triumphant.
May she rest in peace and light per-
petual shine upon her.
The weekly Iberian. (New Iberia, La.) 1894-1946, 1918-03-16

Last Sunday morning this commu-
nifty was appalled, by the horrors of a
railroad tragedy in the eastern port
ton OF this city. An automobile from
Delcambre, carrying Mrs. d, A. Land.
~, two children, and Mr.. Chauvin,
bound for Lake Catahoula, in ST. Mar.
tins parish. was caught on the rail.
road crossing at the intersection of
Centre and Washington streets this
city. Mrs. Landry was decapitaled.
Her little daughter died Sunday even
ing. being unable to rally from the
shock of the loss of both lower limbs
The other two occupants Of the auto
escaped with minor bruiees.
1t seems that the engine of the auto
went dead Just Is 1t mounted the
grade Of the railroad crossing ahead
Of the passing of a passenger train go
ing east, Mrs. Landry was at the
steering wheel Of the auto at the time
of the accident. q

ray said. "Since our last meeting one oil
our most valued charter member
Miss Lizzie Devalcourt has passed
into the Great Beyond. He spoke
with earnest feeling saying, I'm her

where he had been closely associated
with her for many years, he had Levsr
seen more faithful console ntious

yotion to duty and keener percep-

mittee was appointed to express the
profound sorrow of the Association.
Resolved. that in the promotion Of
Miss Lizzie pevalcour. to higher
fields OF usefulness the Association

this, as well as in every other duty,
she was faithful unto death. A thor

the Dutch protest against requisitionng
as printed in the Holland Official Gazette
and forwarded here, is being framed to-
day and the Government will use these
quotations among other points to offset
the Dutch view of the problem.
The answer will probably be made
public before night
Unoficially answering Hollands OBJ
lection to American refusal of bunker
coal for Dutch ships in our ports, war
trade board official said today:
Had we furnished this coal it would
have been more than a friendly act, for,
as the ships were loaded with grain,
they could have given Holland wheat
supply which would have permitted
other supplies to go to Germany Hol-
lands protest denies she was under
German duress, yet her protest admits
that she notified the United States that
Germany objected TO the Allied-Amer-
lean ship agreement and hence she could
not accept IT.
