A cable to her brother, Theodore Roehl, an attorney brought the news.
Her husband is a noted French musician and accompanied her on her concert tours.
In grand opera, she was royalty received in European capitals and won much favor during her brief opera career in the US.
It was in the fall of 1898, in the Royal Theatre in Amsterdam that the New Orleans girl made her debut on the stage before Queen Wilhelmina and other members of Holland’s royalty.
In 1908 Madame du Montjau was again heard in New Orleans. Assisted by the best musical talent in New Orleans, she gave a grand concert at the Tulane Theatre for the benefit of Madame Locquet, her first music teacher. After several weeks stay, she returned to France with her mother, Mrs. Roehl, who was her guest in Paris during the summer. That was Madame du Montjau’s last visit to America.
The funeral will be held in Paris and the body may later be moved to New Orleans.”
