the age of sixty nine years.
Mrs. Leblanc was a native Of
Loreauvillc, but had been residlng ~

She had been in very poor health
FOR p number Of wears, almost never
feeling able to leave her room, on.
through all this suffering and De
privation she maintained a sweet
and sunny disposition that mace hers
a wonderful character.
Few people in the best of health
and able to enjoy all the pleasures
Of life could always be bright and
cheerful, as was Mrs. Leblanc even
in her Affections. She was loved and
admired by all who had the good
fortune to come within the golden
circle of her acquaintance.
The funeral, among the largest
ever held in New Iberia, was con
Quoted from st. Peters Church Sat

Leblanc, Jr., Edward, Mrs. Homer
Dupre, Miss Irma, Mrs, NJ. L, Berry,
Miss Aline, Mrs R. c. Sealy, and

With her passing away there haa
come an aching void in many a
heart, which the gentle hands Of
Time alone can heal.
