Obituary Record
Toulme, Victoire - March 23, 1870
On Wednesday morning at two o'clock, the 23rd day of March 1870 at her residence at Bay St. Louis, Mrs. Victoire Toulme, in the 77th year of her age.
She died beloved and respected after a long, well-spent and useful life, and mourned by a large family of children, who will cherish the memory of their sainted mother as a bright example for them to follow in their journey through life. Although confined to her bed for several years before her death, she never murmured or complained, but bore her increasing infirmity with Christian resignation. And when the Angel of Peace came at last to bear her away to a better world, she went to sleep calmly and gently, amidst the weeping circle of her family, and the consolations of the Holy Mother Church.
Her remains are interred with those of her late husband, J. B. Toulme, the principal father and founder of the prosperity of Bay St. Louis, a man whose public spirit, kindness of heart and unceasing energy will never be forgotten among us.
May they both rest in eternal peace.
