Listers, I sent a couple of photos to Rennee on Sunday morning of the grave site for a Barbara DeGruy (Feb 5, 1890-Oct 25, 1949). She is buried in the Withmeyer plot along with a few others of differing surnames (Graff, Brasholz, etc). I spotted her while I was visiting the Valence Street Cemetery in New Orleans last Fall where I have German great grandparents on my mother's side buried there. Have been meaning to share but forgot I have them. Renee will post on the DeGruy website. I discovered the grave while browsing the Valence Street cemetery grounds on Oct 31, 2009. The adjacent plot is Wm Burst. Coincidentally Burst is my great-grandmother Afra Burst's family surname, but I've not heard of William so don't know of any connection, but suspect there is. Afra is buried with her husband Simon Rapp in the Rapp plot which is not too far from the Burst and Withmeyer plots. fyi, Mary Lynn

Actually, this is probably Barbara Withmeyer, wife of Louis Verloin Degruy (1888-1969), son of Lucien Horace Degruy and Henrietta Louise Harvey. Her birth is shown on the Orleans Parish GenWeb Archives site as on 2/5/1890 as documented in Orleans Parish Birth Certificates, Vol. 102, p. 372. This was one of the names recently made available to us from the chart prepared by Aida Degruy and recently loaded on the DeGruy Family Web site as Dufouchar de Gruy Family Tree.
