Kaltenbacher, political editor of the Louisville Times, in Louisville, Tuesday afternoon [September 1, 1914] at 2:50 o’clock. Paralysis and hardening of the arteries was the cause of his death. He was stricken with paralysis in February, but apparently had recovered, when a few weeks ago he suffered a second stroke. He rallied again, but a third stroke sustained Saturday afternoon was more than his constitution could stand and he sank rapidly until the end. Mr. Dubourg was a native of Louisville, where he resided until 1886, when he came to this county to engage in farming. Five years later he opened a florist establishment here, which he conducted until 1907, when he returned to Louisville to reside. He served five terms as a member of the Board of Council in this city. In 1912 he was assistant doorkeeper of the State Senate and during the 1914 session was doorkeeper in the galleries of the House of Representatives. He was sixty-five years of age. Mr. Dubourg is survived by three children, Mrs. Con Sullivan and A.W. Dubourg, of this city, and Mrs. W.S. Kaltenbacher, of Louisville. He also leaves a sister and a half-brother. The body was brought to his old home in this city yesterday morning. The funeral will be conducted at the Catholic Church, of which he was a life-long member, this morning by Rev. John H. Riley. The interment will be in Grove Hill Cemetery.

Malgoire Louis Dubourg died at 12:50 o’clock Tuesday afternoon [September 1, 1914] in Louisville at the home of his son-in-law, Will S. Kaltenbacher. His last illness was of short duration, and was due to apoplexy and hardening of the arteries. In February last he was stricken with paralysis and a month ago he suffered a second stroke, but in each instance recovered sufficiently to be able to go around. The last attack came at one o’clock Saturday afternoon, and its gravity increased so that he sank into an unconsciousness at six o’clock the same evening whence he never recovered. Mr. Dubourg was born in Louisville sixty-five years ago. In 1886 he came to this county and for a period of five years was engaged in farming. He then moved to Shelbyville and embarked in the florist business. Since 1907 he had resided in Louisville. In political matters he ever took a lively interest, and served as councilman in this city for five terms and was assistant doorkeeper of the State Senate of the session of 1912 and doorkeeper of the galleries in the House of Representatives in 1914. He was a member of the Catholic Church and for forty years was a member of the Branch #262, Catholic Knights of America. Mr. Dubourg was a man who was well liked by all classes. His friendly nature won for him the friendship of all who knew him. Companionable, kind, big-hearted and sympathetic, such was his nature. His friends, and they were many, will miss him. He is survived by three children, Mrs. Mayme Sullivan and A.W. Dubourg of this city, and Mrs. W.S. Kaltenbacher, of Louisville, also a sister, who is known in the Dominican order at Detroit, MI, as Sister Alphonsa, and a brother, Henry Dubourg, of Jefferson County.
