What is this first name?

What is this first name?

1910 Marion County, MS census
ED 105, pg 7b
line 60

See attached census image.

The name is indexed as Laucine L. McGee. Any guesses as to what this first name is? I'm thinking it may be Lou* but I'm stumped. I've tried finding the man in 1900 and 1920-40 without any luck. Same for the wife Ella and son Simons (Simmons?).

The reason I'm looking is that I have a picture of Mr. McGee along with a relative of mine when they worked at a railroad depot. I thought I'd see if anyone was researching this McGee and see if they wanted a copy of the photo.

Thanks,

Scott

My guess is that is says Loucine. There is a Lucine McGee of the right age in 1930 at familysearch

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XMBZ-631

I searched on the first name L.L., birth year 1880-1881, born in Mississippi

Here is a gravemarker for a Lucine L. McGee, no dates to verify

On Ancestry, there is also a ww1 draft record for a Lewis Lucine Mcgee.

That looks promising and I appreciate your taking a look at it. The ones listed on the 1930 and draft registration both work for the railroad, so we might have a winner here.

I've never heard of that name, so it's always good to get a second opinion on these things. I had drawn a blank on this one.

Have a good week,

Scott
