My search is for information on Euphelia Mathieu, maybe spelled Ophelia, and possibily by the name of Marie, born in 1860. I was told by family members a long time ago that she was of Indian descent and an orphan (although orphans may have been considered to be orphans by losing only one parent) If you have information on Euphelia, please let me know. Hi Forrest, I have some information on Eva Trahan, seems that she is buried next to Mayance Mathews (Mathieu) and Clemence B Mathews. Hope this helps. I have the web address to the Abshire Cemetery-Cemetery order if you would need, otherwise here is a copy and paste portion. It's possible that we are related. Thanks, Georgia Oh one other thing I read somewhere that the Lepine name was dropped and the middle name of their father Mathieu was taken. not sure why. MATHEWS Clemence B. 1835 1935 MATHEWS Mayance J. 1838 1908 TRAHAN Mrs. Eva M. 1885 1967
