Excerpt from Robert F. Broussard (Late a Senator From Louisiana) Memorial Addresses Delivered in the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States, Sixty-Fifth Congress, Third Session: Proceedings in the Senate January 26, 1919
The Chaplain, Rev. Forrest J. Prettyman. D. D., offered the following prayer:
Almighty God, the comradeship of service brings us very close together in this tragic life of ours. To-day as we meet with the notice of the passing of one of the honored Members of the Senate our hearts are saddened. We thank Thee for his life and for his public service. We bless Thee that he has lived among us, bearing in all the years the white flower of a stainless life. Thou hast called him to the reward of the great beyond. Let Thy blessing rest upon us as we cherish his memory and help us to emulate all his virtues.
And now, O God, as we have come this day to the greatest crisis in our Nation"s history, and in the history of the world, we pray Thee to make bare Thine arm to save. For Christ"s sake. Amen.
Mr. Ransdell Mr. President, it is with profound sorrow that I announce to the Senate the death of my late colleague, Senator Broussard, who died at his home in New Iberia, La., at 8.30 last night, after a long and very painful illness.
I shall not attempt to say anything about the late Senator at this moment, but at a later time I shall ask the Senate to set aside some hour at which fitting testimonials may be paid to the memory and public services of my deceased colleague.
