Albert Edward Coutant
After a lapse of but one month, death again invaded the home of Mrs. W.J. Coutant Monday evening April 5, at 6:40 o'clock, claiming Albert Edward Coutant, the youngest son of the household.
Mr. Coutant had been in ill Health for some time. He succumbed to an acute attack commencing Sunday. His death was due to kidney trouble. He was 27 years, 3 months and 23 days of age. He was born in Galveston but had resided in this city a number of years. He had been in the employ of Remschel Bros. Lumber yard for some years past, and his general integrity of character had won for him not only the high regard and esteem of his employers but that of all who came in contact with him as well.
Surviving him are his grief stricken mother, a brother, Gus Coutant, and one sister, Miss Florence Coutant, all of this city. A half brother, Dr. Coutant, resides in Houston. Just one month ago another sister, Miss Bessie Coutant, passed away. In view of this recent bereavement his passing is particularly sad for the loved ones to whom the sincere sympathy of the entire community goes out in this great sorrow that they are called upon to bear while their grief is yet fresh over the loss of the beloved daughter and sister.
The termination of his life when, but just well begun, just in the full flush of young manhood, occasions the keenest regret upon the part of his many friends.
The funeral has been set to take place this afternoon at 4:30 0'clock. Services will be conducted at the family residence by Rev. W.K. Penrod, pastor of the Baptist church and interment will be made in the City Cemetery.
The Gonzales Fire Department of which Mr. Coutant was a member will have charge of the burial and the members will attend in full uniform.
Mr. Coutant was a member of the Baptist Church at Oak Forest.

Remains Of Albert Edward Coutant Laid To Rest
The remains of Albert Edward Coutant who died at his home in this city Monday were consigned to their last resting place in the City cemetery.
Funeral services were conducted at the family residence at 4:30 o'clock by Dr. W. K. Penrod in the presence of numerous friends gathered to pay their last respects to his memory.
Following the scripture reading Dr. Penrod made a short talk fraught with comfort and consolation for the bereaved loved ones in their hour of grief. Two hymns were rendered by the choir during the service.
At its close the remains were taken in charge by members of the Gonzales Fire Department who attended in full uniform, the following acting as pall bearers: Messrs. Joe Shock, Bruno Weid, L. L. Ollre, F. L. Drabb, Fred Scheske and A. H. Richter.
Members of the department acting as an escort marched in advance of the hearse as the funeral cortege wended its way to the cemetery where they performed the last eartly offices over the remains of their former comrade. Several hymns and a prayer concluded the service at the grave.
A profusion of beautiful floral offerings completely covered the new made mound. In addition to numerous lovely offerings from friends of the family, there were a number of very handsome special tributes including: A magnificent cross from the Fire Department fashioned of ferns and lavender sweet peas across the face of which was a wide white satin ribbon bearing the initials G. F. D. in gold lettering; a handsome wreath in purple sweet peas and ferns from the emplyees of the Telephone Exchange: a large wreath of Marechil Neil roses from the T. A. S. Club; and beautiful offerings from the Baptist Missionary and Aid Society, the Baptist Philatheas, the Rebekah Lodge and the Order of the Eastern Star.
