- June 2, 1892
Laid to rest with befitting ceremonies.
The funeral of the late Mrs. Julia M. Philibert occurred this morning from the fammily residence in Benton. In accordance with the desire expressed by the deceased the services over her remains were conducted at St. Malachy's Church, Ewing and Clark Avenues, solemn requiem mass was sung and a pretty eulogy was pronounced by Rev. Father Ziegler, the rector of the parish. The funeral was largely attended, the deceased having made scores of friends by her kindly disposition and manifold charities. Eight grown children and fourteen grandchildren were present, and the officers of the Philibert and Johanninz Co. attended in a body. That establishent was founded by Benjamin Philibert, the husband of the deceased, who died some years ago. Following the services the cortege proceeded to Calvary where the remains were interred in the family lot.
Mrs. Philibert, who was in her 71st year at the time of her demise, was a granddaughter of John B. Ortes, the friend and associate of Pierre Liguest, one of the original founders of St. Louis.
