Little Angel Gone Above.
The angel of death entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Remi Mornhinveg on last Saturday, January 4, at 11:30 a. m., and took to Heaven above their little Remi, Junior, aged 3 years, 6 months and 16 days.
Little Remi succumbed to pneumonia, superinduced by a severe attack of measles. He made a brave fight for life, and the devoted parents spared no pains, and physicians worked faithfully and skilfully to save the young life, but the summons came from the chorus of little angels above - and baby Remi joined them.
He was a bright, beautiful child, and his lost is a crushing blow to the family, to whom the Clarion extends heartfelt condolences.
The interment took place Sunday morning at 11:30 o'clock, in the Catholic Cemetery, after solemnization of the funeral rites at the Catholic Church.

It was universal sorrow that the citizens of Opelousas heard of the death of little Remi Mornhinveg, Jr., the darling and youngest son of Mr. Remi Mornhinveg. The little fellow had only attained the age of three years and six months, when the angel of death claimed him at 12:00 noon Saturday. Amid relatives and sorrowing friends, the cortege left the family home for the Catholic church where impressive and an inspiring sermon was preached. From there the remains were taken to the Great White City where, amid a flow of tears, aching hearts and fond remembrances of the past, the last sad rites were witnesses, with bowed heads and sorrowed hearts as the coffin decsended (sic).
The little fellow was afflicted with measles, which, proving to be a severe case, ran into pneumonia, hence the fatal result.
