A FRIENDLY SMILE

July 81, 1873 date we shall
never forget, for it was on that date
that my dear friend, Remie S. Jou-
bert, realizing that his country need
ed him, bid US farewell, saying: 81
will be back in few months; am 60
ing in the United States army" He
left for Camp Hancock, Ca, on the
same date; remained there a few
months after which he was transfer
red to California for a port of en-
barkation, preparing to leave for
across the pond.
The wheel of fortune was turned
because of the signing of the armis-
tice on November II, 1918, and he
was discharged last year. With rgeat
Joy and smiles on his lips, he returned
home to meet his loving wife and
baby, only to embrace and leave in
joyous happiness forever.
Staid few weeks and then left for
Akron, Ohio, to resume his work in
the Goodrich Tire and Rubber Com
pany. His joy and happiness was
broken, for on the 18th of December
he was taken sick, and the Almighty
called him unto Him on January g.,
1920. Only one who was at his bed
side when he died was his darling
wife and baby. The body arrived at
Opelousas, via the Frisco, Tuesday,
January Is, 1920, at l :09 p. M, and
interment and funeral was held at
the Catholic church half an hour
later, Rev. Father Colliard officiating.
The pallbearers were ex-service men.
After the funeral ceremonies in the
cemetery, Mr.. Joseph v. Gaudin, who
is an ex-service man, delivered few
words regarding his friendship for
the deceased and spoke of him as be-
ing and army brother.
Mr.. Joubert is survived by his
wife, baby and other relatives.
"Then conquer we must,
For our cause is just,
And this is our motto:
''In God we trust;"
And the Star Spangled Banner
In triumph shall wave
Over the land of the free
And the home of the brave.
y. v. g., an Army Bro.
