Burying the Dead, NY Times (1871)

Tragedy was far from over for Perrette. Her youngest son, Philippe Horace died in Shanghai in 1902; then her eldest son, Jean, and his wife both passed away in 1907.

She obtained custody of her orphaned grandson, Philippe, who had been left in Port Arthur after Flossie's death. Philippe was brought up first by Perette then her daughter Louisette.
