Obituary of Louis Gerolamy.

By the death of Louis A. Gerolamy, which occurred May 27, 1909, in El Paso Tex., to which place he had gone three months ago in the hope of finding relief from his serious illness, a great loss has been sustained, not only by his mother to whom he was singularly devoted, but by his relatives and all friends, who knew him for his kindly and lovable disposition. A rare talent as an artist has also been buried all too soon, as those who have his work will feel. But an all-wise Providence has seen fit to call him and it is not for mortals to question why. Hoping to meet him in the great hereafter, as expressed in his last words, is the only consolation and prayer of his grieved relatives and friends.
