Necrology of Mrs. Achille L. Keller

On Monday afternoon, Mrs. Achille L. Keller died after an illness of some 24 hours, and death happening as a thunder clap, for deceased had been in very good health right along, and no later than Sunday had as usual led the choir of Our Lady of the Rosary Church which position she held for the past 25 years or more.
Deceased was the Eldest(sic) daughter of Hon. A. E. Picard and the late Louise Vial. Her demise orphans two daughters attending the Ursuline Convent and a son at Stanislans College.
The funeral was sung at Our Lady of the Rosary Church. Father Pariot officiating, despite the fact of his illness the Father delivered an affecting eulogy.
Internment followed at St. John Cemetery where Rev. T. Stenmans could not but voice his sentiment and condolences as Mrs. Keller had been at the head of the choir when Father Stenmans was our loyal priest and he had also married Mr. and Mrs. Keller.
To the heart broken husband and children and host of sorrowing relatives and friends we extend our sincerest wishes of sympathy.

Necrology

After an illness of some four hours duration, Joseph Clement Triche, aged fifty four, died at his home at Taft, La. Deceased leaves a widow, five daughters and two sons, the elder now being in France with the Colors, a host of relatives and friends to mourn his demise.
Deceased was born in St. John Parish, but at the age of fourteen came to live in this Parish with his brother-in-law the late J. B. Martin, he was then put to work as copyist in the Clerk of Court office and from that start, held the positions of Secretary of the Police Jury, Deputy Assessor, Deputy Clerk of Court and upon the demise of the late J. B. Martin, was appointed Clerk of Court by Governor Foster, subsequently being elected to said office up to 1912.
Deceased at one time was the political power of the Parish, and was accredited by some of the ablest attorneys of New Orleans, as one of the most competent Clerk of Courts of the State.
At his demise he was proprietor and Editor of the St. Charles Herald.
To the sorrowing family and relatives we extend our deepest wishest(sic) of sympathy and from a personal acquaintance of some 25 years can truthfully say that his many kind deeds, ever jovial disposition, open heartedness(sic) and charitableness greatly overbalance whatever his shortcomings may have been.
