Her remains were brought to Labadieville on the steamboat Chickasaw, and her funeral took place there from St. Philomena?s church on Monday (20 MAR 1899) morning. The deceased religious was Miss Alice Achee, a daughter of Mr. Theard P. Achee, one of the more prominent and best citizens of Labadieville, and a sister of Mr. A. Achee of this city. She had been for years connected with the convent of the Sister of the Immaculate Conception, near Labadieville, where she labored zealously and assiduously in the good cause of education. She was popular in Labadieville and vicinage where she was so well known, and beloved of all that community. The vast number of people from all conditions of life who devoutly attended her funeral last Monday and witnessed the laying to rest her mortal remains, bore strong witness to the reverence and esteem in which the humble servant of the Lord was held by those in whose midst she has spent the life which she had so gladly consecrated to the service and to greater glory of God.
