Re: McCloskeys' New Orleans

MichaelFitzwilliam — 2013-05-17 04:30:48Z

Hugh McCloskey was not one of the founders of the Times-Picayune. It was originally known as The Picayune and its first owners were Francis Lumsden and George Kendall. The paper's name changed to the Daily Picayune until 1914 when it acquired the Times-Democrat and changed to the Times-Picayune.

Hello.
I did not know about the one near the carport. Since you are familiar with it and the graveyard, could you go take a picture of it and post it in find a grave? I also appreciate your knowledge of the cemetery as a whole and clarifying about the other graves.
Thank you,
Marlon Ebey

Ive been visiting this graveyard since the mid 80's arminda faust is my great great great grandmother. Everyone in this graveyard is related to me at least the fenced in area it did go neglected for many years do the simple fact that it became lost to our family in the 80'smid it was surrounded by trees and could not be seen from any road. But with the exception of a small grave off the carport of the newly buolt house there wete no other headstones but 100'shavent of unmarked slave graves on the hill it sits on those have all been lost.

Re: DELASALLE, Oberlin area

Jessica_Manes — 2013-02-21 05:17:24Z

James Delasalle adopted my ggrandfather Edmund Neeley. Edmund was his wife's, Mary Elizabeth, grandson. James owned 166 acres of land in Allen/Beauregard parish area in 1897. He and Mary raised 5 of her grandsons. Edmund, Thomas, John, James, and Charles Neeley. 1880 they lived in Webster Parish. 1900 in Calcasieu Parish, town Oberlin. All in Louisiana. My grandma, Agnes Delasalle Starr Manes, told my James stowed away on a boat when he was 12 and came to America. His family sent his sister to bring him home but he wouldn't go. My grandma didn't really know too much about him. I haven't found where he married anyone before Mary, but I am still looking. If you could fill in any info for me, I would appreciate it.

death records were not required or enforced until 1914, if you know what religion, maybe that would be a source to look into.

Re: Cemeteries in East Ascension

joey_niquiporo — 2012-07-31 14:24:42Z

Dawn, Not sure where you live but Louisiana has Parishes, not counties like all other states. East Ascension is Ascension Parish but described as "East Ascension" because it is on the East side of the Mississippi River. The main city on the East Ascension side is Gonzales, LA. Between Gonzales and Baton Rouge is an area called Prairieville.

Here is a link
http://www.la-cemeteries.com/Maps/Ascension/Pics/Prairievill...

It is located behind the St. John Teh Baptist Church and can be found on Google at

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&...

If you do not live close, drop me a line at joey dot niquiporo at shell dot com with your father's info and I will gladly go take a look for you. It's a BIG cemetery!

Caney Creek Cemetery - Bossier Parish

paula555 — 2012-06-16 21:14:44Z

Does anyone on this message board know who owns the property that Caney Creek Cemetery rests on? It is grown up and badly needs clearing and cleaning up on a regular basis. There is an elderly woman that needs access and a way to be driven all the way to the gate of the cemetery from the main road which is estimated at near a mile. She is not able to walk that far and wishes to pay her respects to her grandfather. Here is what the cemetery looked like in February 2012 and is probably more grown up by now.

http://www.laahgp.genealogyvillage.com/Bossierfolder/caneycr...

I do not live close enough to help her with this but am appealing to anyone reading this for help in resolving her problem.
Thank you.

The inforamtion on the Mule`/ Mula is very much of interest to me. I have for a long time tried to track down marriage information on Giovanni Mule` and Margherita Di Rosa they either married in LA. or in Newark New Jersey. They arrived going to Centerville in 1898 and then moved to Neward, and by the 1920 census they had settled in Illinois with their children. Any information that is not to much of a bother would be great.
Thank you in advance..........

Arthur Bizette died 1943 - Where's he buried?

BarbaraMunson60 — 2012-05-21 18:23:00Z

I'm trying to find burial location of Arthur Bizette who died March 8, 1943 in New Orleans. His obituary in the New Orleans paper stated that the remains were taken by car to Baton Rouge.

His obituary in the Baton Rouge paper said that the service would be conducted from the home of his brother, Lawrence Bizette, in New Roads.

Would anyone know where he's buried? I'm not related to the family; I'm just trying to help a gentleman I met at the library.

FYI Arthur Bizette was the son of Francois/Frank and Marie/Mary Bizette. I've seen his middle name listed as Frank (N.O. obituary), Joseph (B.R. obituary), and Felix (WWII draft registration and his daughter's marriage license).

Thanks for any information.

Re: McCloskeys' New Orleans

MichaelFitzwilliam — 2012-03-26 21:28:00Z

Hugh McCloskey was one of eleven founders of the former Hibernia Bank & Trust Company in New Orleans in April, 1870, not "the" founder. Patrick Irwin was named first President, Hugh McCloskey was Vice-President, and Thomas Fitzwilliam was secretary. The doors opened for business in September, 1870 and by 1874 was paying a 9% dividend.

Can't say much about the life and times of Mr. McCloskey, just trying to add to your records about his role with the bank.

Virginia Bertha Bouterie died Nov. 29, 1964. She was the wife of the late Joseph Robert Bouterie, stepmother of Verna Broussard, sister of Mrs. Margaret Boudreaux, Mrs. Daisy Laiser, Walter and William LeBlanc and late Mrs. Louise Bourg, Alex and Mark LeBlanc. She was also interred in St. Vincent de Paul #1.
