Died, of pneumonia, at his residence in this city on Saturday, January 14, 1899, at 2:15 o'clock a. m., Mr. Louis Bert Valle, aged 74 years, 5 months and 22 days.
Mr. Valle was born in Ste. Genevieve and attended the private schools of the city and afterwards the Hertich High School on what to this day is known as the old Hertich farm in Beauvais township. During the gold fever of 1849 he visited California, returning in 1851, and was married at Fredericktown in 1853 to Miss Philomene Janis. At this time he was engaged in the mercantile business in this city and while still in this business was appointed cashier of the Branch Missouri Bank. He was elected county treasurer and served one or more terms until he sold his interest in the store and went into the milling business at Little Rock with Betten & Valle, under the firm name of Valle, Betten & Valle. Shortly after the failure of this firm his wife died (August 20, 1874), leaving him the father of her nine daughters, all but one quite young children, four of whom are dead. Those living are Mrs. Wm. Nalle of Fredericktown, Mrs. M. V. Ziegler of St. Louis, Mrs. Columbus Abernathy, Mrs. Frank Ernst and Miss Flora Valle of this city. Besides his children there are surviving him two sisters and one brother: Mrs. John L. Bogy of Ste. Genevieve, Mrs. Emily Allen and Mr. August Valle of Mine LaMotte.
The deceased was the son of Mr. Charles Carpenter Valle and Miss Melanie St. Gemme. His father at one time represented this county in the Legislature. His grand-father was the first commandant at Ste. Genevieve when this part of the country was under Spanish rule.
Mr. Valle was a man popular among his acquaintances and kind and charitable to all. The esteem in which he was held was attested by the large number of people who were in attendance at his funeral.
The remains were interred in the Catholic cemetery at Valle Spring on Sunday afternoon at four o'clock, Rev. F. X. Weiss performing the last sad rites. R. I. P.
