Louis Boquet died at his home yesterday morning at 4:20 of paralysis [stroke.] The end came peacefully, and he passed from sleep to death calmly and quietly, the sixty-two years of his life were at an end.
Mr. Boquet was born in the northern part of France in 1835, and came to this country at the age of eighteen. Twenty-six years ago, he came to Quincy, and engaged in the commission business, and had amassed a comfortable competency.
He leaves a wife and four children, besides a sister. The children are: Louis, residing in Keokuk; Jules, Edmond, and Harry of this city; and the sister, Mrs. Carpenter [Charpentier], of West Point, Illinois.
Some weeks ago, Mr. Boquet suffered a stroke of paralysis. The physicians pronounced the case a serious one from the first, but it was hoped his robust constitution would aid him in recovery. It was not to be, however, and the end came yesterday morning.
The funeral will take place from the family residence, Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock.
