A Distinguished Louisianian Passes Peacefully Away.
..... On Saturday last Judge Morel returned from his office and complained of illness. He had chills, and seemed to be suffering greatly. A physician was summoned, and then the patient was attacked with a hemorrhage, which weakened him considerably, and he rapidly grew worse, other complications setting in, but Sunday morning he rallied, and it was generally thought that he would recover. Thursday, however, he grew worse again, until about 1 o'clock Friday morning he died, while seemingly sleeping. The merry ringing of hte New year's bells, sounding all over over the city, reached the sad group gathered by the bedside, softened and sweetened by the distance......
Judge Morel was born in this city on Dec. 1, 1834. He was sent to school in Frankfort, Ky., where he remained until he had completed his education. One of his classmates there was Judge Frank A. Monroe. In 1860 he returned to New Orleans and married Miss Leonie Fortier. He became associated with his father, Christobal Morel, in the practice of law. His father at that time was city attorney. Shortly afterwards he was elected a judge of the first justice's court, and served until just before the close of the war. He refused to take the oath of allegiance to the federal government, and was deprived of his office as a consequence. He then resumed the practice of his profession.
In 1872 he was elected to the legislature, and re-elected in 1876, always as a Democrat. In 1892 he was elected judge of the second city court, and served his full term of four years. Last April he resumed his law practice, and was actively engaged up to the time of his death.
Judge Morel was the second oldest Mason in the city of New Orleans. He took a great pride in the order, and rose to the highest degree, the thirty-third. His family, however, are all Roman Catholics, and when he was first stricken, they prevailed upon him to return to their faith, so a priest was sent for, and he administered the last sacraments. Judge Morel was one of the founders of the Sons of Louisiana Benevolent Association, and served for many years as its president. When he died he was an exempt member.
He leaves his wife and three children, Euphemie, the wife of P. L. Fourchy; Ernest L. and Sydney J. Morel.
The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock, and the services will be conducted in St. Rose of Lima's church. The remains will be interred in the old family vault in the cemetery corner of Conti and Claiborne streets."
