    Obituary:
    Leopold Dufilho
    Death of a Popular Attaché of the Whitney National Bank

    Last Wednesday morning the business community and many friends of the family were shocked to read the announcement of the death of Leopold Dufilho, the esteemed and deservedly popular bookkeeper of the Whitney National Bank. Truly it is that in the midst of life we are in death was never more exemplified than in this sudden taking off of one in the full vigor and meridian of his manhood. Leopold Dufilho was at his desk at the bank up to 5 p.m. on Saturday evening, and feeling slightly indisposed, called on the family physician. On Monday he went out to take a ride as the diversion and eating were calculated to be beneficial. He and his family believed that it was only a slight ailment and he would soon be all right again. Then on Tuesday, March 19, he suddenly became faint, and becoming weaker, succumbed to cardiac troubles, not withstanding all efforts that were made to stay the icy hand of death.

    Leopold Dufilho was but 33 years of age. He was born in Paris, France, during the visit to that metropolis of his parents, his father, Mr. Alfred Dufilho, being at that time a member of that prominent banking firm of Lafitte, Dufilho & Co., well and prominently known in this city in antebellum days and up in the eighties. His mother was Miss Corinne Taylor. Under the careful tutelage of his father, he received a practical knowledge of banking and obtained the position of bookkeeper at the Whitney National Bank, where for eleven years, and up to almost the hour of his death, he was a faithful and painstaking [-]. His work was such that not only did he enjoy the friendship of his co-workers, but he had the confidence and esteem of the officers of the bank, who recognized his many excellent qualities. During the existence of the Commercial Club he was one of the members, and also belonged to the Rod and Gun Club at Chef Menteur.

    He married Miss Rosema Larose and leaves her with three children, a daughter aged 11 years, and two sons, aged respectively 7 and 9 years. Also, his father and his mother, three sisters, and one brother, Alfred Dufilho, Jr., also a bookkeeper at the Whitney National Bank, who are inconsolable at their said affliction.

    Last Wednesday evening here joined the family at the residence, No. 1215 N. Dorgenois street, immeasurable friends, bank officers, fellow clerks, etc. to do their sad homage to him that was so well beloved. Impressive were the ceremonies conducted by Rev. Father [-] at the residence and at the Church of St. Rose de Lima, and also at Washington cemetery No. 1 [now Lafayette Cemetery No. 1], where the remains were carried away in the [casket?]. The pallbearers were: E.S.D. Logon, J. [O?]. Larose, John Ferguson, [E.] Larose, R. C. [Benton?], Numa [Bertel?], L. D. [Martin?], and S. A. [McMain?].
