MRS. CECILE LADNER DUBUISSON DIES AT HOME TUESDAY EVE.

Daughter of Pioneer Family of City Victim of Sudden Illness - Buried Thursday P.M.

The community was shocked Wednesday morning when it was learned that Mrs. Cecile Ladner Dubuisson, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Delmas Ladner, had suddenly passed away the night previously, Tuesday, July 11, 1933, at 11 o'clock, a victim of indigestion, it was said.

Mrs. Dubuisson was a native of Bay St. Louis, aged 69 years and was a widow. She was a daughter of one of the oldest and representative families of Bay St. Louis, her parents well known to many of the older inhabitants of both city and county. She was the widow of Joseph Dubuisson.

She lived with her sister, Miss Ladner, and a brother, Cyril, at the family homestead, No. 316 Citizen Street, from which place the funeral took place Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock, one of the largest noted; interment at the family plot in Cedar Rest cemetery, with the ceremony of the Catholic church of which faith the deceased had been a consistent and life-long member.

Residing with her sister, Miss Emma Ladner, she is survived by another sister, Mrs. Joseph L. Favre, wife of former Supervisor Jos. L. Favre; four brothers, Cyril, Alcide, Sylvan Ladner of Bay St. Louis and Victor Ladner residing at Lakeshore. Sylvan J. Ladner former city secretary and later city commissioner. County Clerk A.G. Favre is a nephew, Miss Alcida Ladner, manager local telephone exchange, is a niece.

Mrs. Dubuisson was supposedly in the best of health during the early house of the evening. She was suddenly taken with an apparent heart attack which, it was said, caused by acute indigestion. She was well known for her splendid life of usefulness and nobility of character, living a life of unselfishness and of service to others. One who had been of such marked usefulness will be missed more than in the ordinary sense and her death causes an irreparable loss. The family, bowed deep in grief, has the sympathy of a wide circle of friends and acquaintances both in Bay St. Louis and Hancock county as well as away. It can be well said that a good woman has gone to her reward.
