After more than a month of illness, Charles-Alfred dies on September 6, 1934, at the age of 88. His death will be felt throughout the region as an important loss both for industry and for the good works to which he contributed so generously. His funeral is celebrated in the church of Saint-André. There is such a large turnout that not everyone can fit in the church and a number of people have to stay outside during the ceremony.
