Obituary Record

Mrs. Jennie Bosetto Blaize, wife of Victor D. Blaize, died in New Orleans at an early hour Sunday morning, after a long illness.

Mrs. Blaize was taken to New Orleans recently in hopes the change and treatment of specialists for her malady would restore her health, which, for a while, seemed to bring the desired results, until a few days previous to her death, the patient took a change for the worse and it was plain the end was near.

The remains were conveyed home to Bay St. Louis Sunday night and throngs of friends and acquaintances visited the saddened home to pay their respects to the dead and to sympathize with the bereaved loved ones.

Mrs. Blaize was 42 years of age and in addition to her husband is survived by five children, also by one brother who resides at Shreveport, La.

The funeral was largely attended, and well attested to the high esteem in which the deceased was held in the community of her birth and where she had lived all her life.

Rev. Father Nelius Downing, formerly of this city, now of Biloxi, and a personal friend of the family, conducted the funeral ceremony - at the house in Washington street, at the church of Our Lady of the Gulf where a requiem mass was said, and that was mortal of this good woman, devoted wife and saintly mother was laid "at rest" within the confines of the family tomb.

There were many beautiful floral offerings, notably from the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, of which Mr. Blaize is a member; the Order of Lady Foresters of which the deceased was a charter member, and from Class '18, St. Stanislaus College of which a son is a member.

To the bereaved husband and children The Echo joins the wide circle of friends and acquaintances in extending deepest sympathy. May time assuage the grief of the family, which has lost "wife" and "mother" in the full and beautiful significance the terms typify.
