One entry related that Mary Jane Small and Jefferson Monroe Hanchey were married at the Avon Hotel. This marriage was probably around 1883. Monroe Hanchey was a resident of Magda, Rapides Parish, La. at this time. My question is, does anyone know if the Avon Hotel was in Rapides Parish? I also understand that Magda no longer exists. Is this correct?
