Death of Louis J. Frigerio
New Orleans, La., July 13.—Louis J. Frigerio passed away late last week after a protracted illness of more than two months. A short time before that, he suffered an accident through which it later became necessary to amputate one of his legs, as the result of which blood poisoning set in, and his death occurred.
For some years Mr. Frigerio had been employed at Coleman E. Adler’s Canal St. jewelry store. His father was the pioneer in New Orleans in optical work, and also carried a large stock of nautical instruments. The jewelry branch of the business was added later. One of the most attractive figures along Chartres St. in the old days was the wooden image which stood in front of Mr. Frigerio’s establishment, and which was called “The Commodore.” The statue was a perfect representation of the old time officers of the United States Navy, with uniform, telescope, etc. After the death of the old gentleman, his wife conducted the business, and following her demise, the sons took active charge and added jewelry as a branch of the business.
For some years the Frigerios have not been conducting any business in New Orleans on their own account.

DEATH OF LEOPOLD JANSEN
Ptomaine Poisoning Carries Off Widely Known and Popular Jeweler of New Orleans
New Orleans, La., May 10–Leopold Jansen, one of the best known and most popular jewelers in New Orleans, died at the Touro Infirmary May 6, after an illness of two weeks. Mr. Jansen's death was caused by ptomaine poisoning, the disease having been contracted, it is believed, through eating a dozen raw oysters. Deceased was 53 years old, and a native of this city. After graduating from the high school, he went to work for Frantz & Opitz, later becoming connected with the firm of Frantz Bros. & Co. Thirty-eight years of his life was spent in the jewelry business, during 22 years of which he was acting for himself. He opened his first establishment at 112 Bourbon St., in the old French quarter, but meeting with remarkable success subsequently removed to 707 Canal St.. where he was still in business at the time of his death.
Mr. Jansen was a member of many social organizations, including the Elks and Chess Club, and was president of the American Homestead Association. Just recently, he had completed a term as president of the New Orleans Retail Jewelers' Association. He leaves a widow, a daughter, one brother and three sisters to mourn his loss.
No member of this community was held in higher esteem than Mr. Jansen. It is not known yet what disposition will be made of his store, whether it will be ordered sold, or whether Mrs. Jansen will conduct it herself. Referring to this subject, Mrs. Jansen, just after the funeral of her husband, said she was wholly inexperienced as a business woman, knew practically nothing about jewelry as an article of commerce, and for that reason would prefer to dispose of that part of Mr. Jansen's estate to someone more competent to handle it. If, however, she was unable to obtain anything like its real value she would, rather than sacrifice the property, take active charge and endeavor to run the establishment herself.
