Just as the clocks were striking the hour of noon on Saturday last, the gentle spirit of Mrs. Madeline Fayard, beloved wife of Leopold Bangard, wended its way back to the God who gave it. She had suffered several attacks of heart failure in the recent past and her family and friends had lived in fear of their recurrence, knowing full well the inevitable consequence which might be expected.
A native and life-long resident of Bay St. Louis, the deceased was known and highly esteemed by a large circle of friends, and her death brought sadness to many hearts outside those who were bound to her by ties of kinship. The high regard in which she was held by every one was amply proven by the number in attendance at the funeral on Sunday evening. She was a Catholic, in which faith she was christened and the tenets of which she consistently practiced throughout the sixty-two years of her life. The remains were laid to rest in Cedar Rest cemetery, Rev. Father Downing conducting the funeral.
Besides the heart broken husband, from whose side has been snatched his faithful and devoted helpmate and companion, four sons and two daughters are bowed in grief over the departure of a mother every pulsation of whose heart was inspired by her great love for them. To each of them we extend sincerest sympathy.
