I am not closely related to your Gilbert Oubre, Sr., but I did find his obituary in the Times-Picayune from 1949. He died in Mathews, LA, on Dec. 2, 1949 and was buried in St. John the Baptist Catholic Cemetery in Edgard, LA. It listed his wife Blanch and his children. If you send me an email at
dosoreb@bellsouth.net, we can communicate further and I may be able to provide you with the obituary and other Oubre information.
