DESPARATELY NEED INFO ON WILLIAM AND JOSEPHINE BLAKE WHO OWNED A GROCERY STORE ON LIBERTY STREET IN NEW ORLEANS IN 1940. AN OBITUARY FOR EITHER OF THEM OR BOTH WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THEY LIVED ON 2340 PENNISTON. WILLIAM BLAKE JR WAS A BUYER FOR A&P STORE, WHO HAD THE SAME ADDRESS. A COPY OF THEIR FAMILY LINE WOULD BE HELPFUL, OR A LIST OF CHILDREN. I KNOW ONE DAUGHTER WAS NAMED JEAN-MARIE. THANKS SO MUCH! MELANIE
