Bourgeois, Victorine  -  June 30, 1904

Entered into rest Monday, at 7:30 A. M., Mrs. Victorine Bourgeois, wife of Charles Bourgeois, aged 35 years. The deceased was a daughter of Wid. Severin Bourgeois and leaves besides her husband a little son, two sisters, Miss Arcene Bourgeois and Mrs. Joseph Perronne and five brothers, Cyril, Joseph, Frank, Camille, N. L. S.

The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from her late residence in Waveland and was one of the largest seen in years. The funeral was conducted by the Rev. Father Voyer. The interment was made in the Catholic cemetery. Mrs. Bourgeois was a devoted daughter to her invalid mother, kind and affectionate to brothers and sisters, she will be greatly missed by them as well as by her friends, which were numbered by the hundreds.

She was especially fond of children, and nothing gave her more pleasure than to amuse a tired, sick child.

May her soul rest in peace.
