Mrs. Andrepont was verily the grand mother of Prairie Ronde. She was the mother of a large number of children and the grandmother of scores. She was closely related with virtually every person in the western section of the first ward. The children who survive are Albert, Emar, Eraste, Martin, Jr., Nestor and Mrs. Theogene Bertrand. Funeral services were conducted at the Catholic church in this city, with interment in the local cemetery at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon.
