Louis Eckerle Was Drowned in Mississippi River.The body of a white man found in the river a short distance below the Stock Landing Wednesday afternoon was identified yesterday as Louis Eckerle, aged forty-five years, of Chippewa street, near Louisiana avenue. The identification was made by a young man who knew the deceased. He read of the finding of the body and went down to St Bernard Parish, where he met Chief Deputy Sheriff T J Serpas, who accompanied him to the scene. Undertaker Bultmann took charge of the remains, which were viewed by Coroner L E Foudriat, who issued the proper certificate, and prepared them for burial.Eckerle worked in an ice factory and was a man of family. His wife, to whom he was devoted, died about a year ago, and it is said that her death drove him to despondency, which ended in suicide. He was often heard to say that life was not worth living. He left his home Tuesday night. and that was the last seen of him. Coroner Foudriat stated that when found the body could not have been in the water longer than three hours, and as the stomach contained no water he was of the belief that the deceased, who was found face downward, had smothered. The supposition is that the despondent widower came down to St Bernard to end his earthly existence.The Times-Democrat, New Orleans, LouisianaSaturday, January 16, 1904, page 16DEATHSLouis Eckerle, 50 years, St Bernard parish.
