Mr. Achille W. Dubourg died at the Norton Memorial Infirmary in Louisville at 6:30 o’clock Monday evening [April 16, 1923]. For more than five years he had been an invalid confined to his home with diabetes. On Thursday before his death he went to the Infirmary in Louisville to take the newly discovered treatment for his complaint, but was stricken with hiccoughs that combined and in his enfeebled condition resulted by reason of exhaustion in his death. Mr. Dubourg was born in Louisville fifty-two years ago. His residence in this city covered a period of thirty-seven years. He was a former Chief of Police of this city, from which position ill health forced his retirement. Among all his wide circle of friends he was popular by reason of kindly nature and equable temper.

Dubourg and six daughters, Mrs. Alberta Biagi and Misses Antoinette, Lillie Mae, Margaret, Elizabeth & Sarah Dubourg. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Mayme Sullivan and Mrs. W.S. Kaltenbacher, both of Louisville. The funeral services, a Mass of Requiem and a sermon by the pastor, Rev.
