J. Frank Jeanmard, one of Lafayette's best-known citizens, took his own life this morning, using a shotgun in the suicide which occurred about 6:00 o'clock at the family home on Dunreath Street.

Dr. M. M. Mouton, coroner, who viewed the body and held an inquiry, said Mr. Jeanmard's death was due to suicide while temporarily insane.

Mr. Jeanmard, who was 58 years, two months and 16 days of age, had served as secretary of the Home Building and Loan Association of this city since the association was organized in 1906. He had been in failing health for about two years and during the past two months his condition became so serious that relatives feared he was on the verge of a nervous collapse.

A native of Breaux Bridge, Mr. Jeanmard was born September 21, 1873, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jules Jeanmard, his mother being before her marriage, Miss Blanche Brown.

Active in business and public affairs, Mr. Jeanmard was prominent in building and loan circles of Louisiana. He served for six years as a member of the Lafayette Parish School Board. He was a Past Grand Knight of Lafayette Council, Knights of Columbus.

Mr. Jeanmard was married over 20 years ago to Miss Lucille Perez. He is survived by his widow, four daughters, Misses Marie Louise, Lucille, Blanche and Anna Marie Jeanmard, and one son, Jules Jeanmard, all of this city; five brothers, including Right Reverend Jules B. Jeanmard, Bishop of Lafayette, J. R., Charles and Dr. H. A. Jeanmard, all of Lafayette, and George Jeanmard of Ville Platte; and two sisters, Mrs. Cyrus Guidry and Mrs. Alexandre Pellerin, both of Lake Charles.

Funeral services will be conducted Tuesday morning at 8:45 at St. John's Cathedral, the funeral cortege leaving the home at 8:30. The family has asked that flowers be omitted.

Members of Lafayette Council, Knights of Columbus, have been requested to attend.

Interment will take place in St. John's cemetery.

The funeral arrangements are in charge of A. A. Crouchet, with the Dauterive Undertaking Company.
