Mrs. Napoleon Boudreau
Purcell Register
June 18, 1914
Mrs. Napoleon Boudreau, age 50 years, died at her
home on Canadian avenue after a lingering illness of several weeks. The
dreaded disease, pellegra, was announced by attending physicians,
dispelled all hope of a final recovery. The patient bore her illness
with patience and fortitude and was surrounded by her family, her
sisters and brothers, and many friends, when the end came Wednesday
afternoon at 2:30, who did everything the mortal hands could do to make
the last hours on earth comfortable.
Fortified by all the sweet consolation of her
relations, having received at the hands of Father Van Wees, the last
sacraments of the Catholic church - Extreme Unction - the patient
sufferer died the death of one well prepared to appear before her God.
Besides her faithful husband, Napoleon Boudreau, the
deceased leaves to mourn her loss two daughters, Mrs. W.C. Lovell, of
Memphis, Tenn., Mrs. W.C. Cooley of Pauls Valley and two sons, Theogil
and Henry, one brother, J.H. Marquis, and three sisters, Mrs. Wm.
Peltier of Shawnee, Mrs. John Boudreau, and Mrs. Robert Peltier of
Purcell. Also a host of friends.
The funeral took place Thursday morning at 9 o'clock
from the Catholic church, where Rev. Father Van Wees officiated,
offering up a requiem mass for the repose of the soul of the deceased.
Interment took place at Hillside Cemetery Friday.
