Thankyou Michael, was wondering what she was doing out at 9:30 at night since she had 4 children, and what was the Canal road like where she lived, I have almost given up until my cousin started emailing me again. All you people have been wonderful helping me. I do know that after the funeral probably a couple of years her husband put the children in an Episcopal home run by Rev. Davenport & I haven't been able to find anything on her husband. I'd think they'd be in the Census. Thank you. Cecile cecile/sis
