This is probably a long shot, but I've been searching for the burial site of my grandfather, Jean Faustin Breaux, d. August 14, 1911. His wife, who preceded him in death (Nov. 19, 1907) is buried at the Catholic cemetery in Grosse Tete, but he is not. Indications are that he may have been buried in Plaquemine (no exisiting record) or St. Gabriel. (The time of his death included the period when the St. Gabriel church had burned, and no christenings, weddings, burials, etc. were taking place.) There's a gap in the records at St. Gabriel which I have not been able to trace, but noticing your reference to a Baton Rouge cemetery I thought I'd ask to check the records there for 1911. Many thanks for any help you may offer.

I have been trying to find out how to contact someone about placing a headstone at Charity Hospital Cemetery in New Orleans. The phone number on the cemetery gate is the switchboard to the hospital. They were unable to help direct my rather unusual call. My great grandfather, John Patrick Halligan, was buried there in 1881. He had left Mobile, Alabama after his hardware business failed. He had only been in New Orleans for about a year, when he died of a sun stroke at the age of 48. Since his family was still in Mobile, and he had no money, he was buried in Charity Hospital Cemetery (according to Charity Hospital records). My great grandfather was somewhat of a notable character, as he had designed and built a submarine (in Selma Alabama) named the "St. Patrick", during the Civil War. His death was written up in the New Orleans' paper. The sub was reputed to be an excellent design and well made. It was not as well known as the "Hunley", but the "St. Patrick" was written about in several books. The sub was taken into battle late in the war. Thanks, Mary Halligan
