4706	The following information was extracted from a US Navy report from the Division of Naval History (OP-29). "Lt. Dufilho was killed on 25 August 1942, having been attached to a fighting squadron, when the plane which he was piloting was lost in the Southwest Pacific. Lt. Dufilho was awarded the NAVY CROSS. The DISTINGUISHED FLYING CROSS was previously awarded." Marion William Dufilho, born 22 May 1916 in Opelousas, La., graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis on 2 June 1938. On 24 August 1942, while serving as a section leader in Fighting Squadron 5 in Saratoga (CV-3), Lieutenant Dufilho was killed in action in the Battle of the Eastern Solomons. He was posthumously awarded both the Navy Cross and the Distinguished Flying Cross for his heroism and achievement in this battle, which turned back a major effort of the Japanese to reinforce Guadalcanal and Tulagi. "Butch" O'Hare Wingman On Febuary 1942, the enemy at Rabaul was determined to locate and sink the U.S. Carrier Lexington and Japanese G4M1 Bettys set out with that end in sight. Alerted to the coming fight, six F4F Wildcats landed on the ''Lady Lex'' to refuel and rearm and six others took to the skies to rid the carrier deck of fully fueled and armed aircraft and to engage the attacking bombers. The fight was bitter. When a second wave of enemy bombers appeared, only two aircraft, F4F-3s flown by Lieutenant Edward H. "Butch" O'Hare and Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Marion Dufilho, were between the attackers and the carrier they protected. Dufilho's machine guns froze but O'Hare dove on the eight bombers and downed four; then he aimed at taking out the master bombardier and interrupting the bomb run. USS DUFILHO The USS DUFILHO (a destroyer escort, DE-423) was launched on 9 March 1944 in honor of Lt. Dufilho. (DE-423: dp. 1,350; l. 306'; b. 36'8"; dr. 9'5"; s. 24 k.; cpl. 186; a. 2 5", 3 21" tt., 8 dcp., 1 dcp.(hh.), 2 dct.; cl. John C. Butler) Dufilho (DE-423) was launched 9 March 1944 by Brown Shipbuilding Co., Houston, Tex.; sponsored by Mrs. M. W. Dufilho, widow of Lieutenant Dufilho; and commissioned 21 July 1944, Commander A. H. Nienau, USNR, in command. Dufilho escorted Vixen (PG-53) with Admiral R. E. Ingersoll, Commander-in-Chief, Atlantic Fleet embarked on a tour of inspection of the Caribbean naval bases between 18 September and 19 October 1944. After a voyage to Casablanca, French Morocco, as escort for Kasaan Bay (CVE-69) from 24 October to 14 November, Dufilho sailed from Norfolk 7 December for the Pacific, arriving at Manus, Admiralty Islands, 15 January 1945. Dufilho got underway for Leyte 23 January 1945 but was diverted to Morotai to join the escort for a convoy of 80 LSTs bound with reinforcements of men and supplies for Lingayen Gulf, Luzon. She patrolled there on 9 and 10 February while the men and supplies were unloaded, then sailed to San Pedro Bay, Leyte, 14 February. She continued to escort supply convoys from Morotai and Leyte to Subic Bay and Lingayen Gulf until the 27th when she was assigned to the San Bernardino-Verde Islands Minesweeping unit guarding minecraft as they cleared the sealane to Manila, as well as taking part in naval and amphibious operations along this route. Arriving at Subic Bay 6 March, Dufilho operated on antisubmarine patrol and escort duty. Between 26 April and 5 July 1945, Dufilho joined in the Borneo operation, escorting shipping from the Philippines and Mios Woendi to Morotai in preparation for the landings at Tarakan and Brunei Bay in May and June. She convoyed reinforcements to Tarakan, and patrolled off the beaches during the assaults at Brunei Bay, escorted support troops in, and returned with empty landing craft to San Pedro Bay. After brief overhaul, Dufilho patrolled out of Leyte on antisubmarine, air-sea rescue, weather reporting and escort duty. On 3 and 4 August 1945 she aided in the rescue of survivors from Indianapolis (CA-35). Following a voyage to Okinawa to convoy LSTs and LSMs to Leyte for repairs, Dufilho sailed from Leyte 6 September and after calling at Okinawa, arrived at Shanghai 22 September. She operated on a variety of duties at port and Hong Kong until 5 January 1946 when she sailed for the west coast. Dufilho arrived at San Diego 12 February and was placed out of commission in reserve 14 May 1946. Dufilho was stricken from the inventory on 1 December 1972 and was sold for scrapping on 1 August 1973 by the Defense Reutilizaiton and Marketing Service.	Dufilho, Lt. Marion William (I416)
4707	The friends and acquaintances of Joseph Dufilho, Jr., are requested to attend the funeral of his son Jules Dufilho, who departed this life at one o’clock, this morning. The funeral will take place this afternoon, at 5 o’clock, from the dwelling of his father, Chartres, between St. Louis and Toulouse streets.

New Orleans Public Library.] [Transcription by Mark Hollier, 2020.]	Dufilho, Jules Remis (I1611)
4708	The funeral is presumed to have been the day after his death.	Norton, Charles (I1266)
4709	The German Coast (French: Côte des Allemands) was a region of early Louisiana settlement located above New Orleans on the Mississippi River - specifically, from east to west, in St. Charles, St. John the Baptist, and St. James parishes of present-day Acadiana.[2] The four settlements along the coast were Karlstein, Hoffen, Meriental, and Augsburg.	Desbordes, Jacques Andre (I98)
4710	The Hebert reference gives his date of birth as 23 January 1874, but this is assumed to be a transcription error. However, the original baptismal registry should be consulted for further information.	Hollier, Antour Joseph (I3651)
4711	The Hebert reference notes Joseph's date of birth 27 March 1893. However, both his draft registration card and Social Security information indicate 13 March 1893. It may be that his date of baptism was on the 27th, but the original baptism record should be consulted to resolve this discrepancy.	Hollier, Joseph Herville Sr. (I4013)
4712	The Hebert reference notes Lucien's date of birth 11 July 1895. However, both his draft registration card and Social Security information indicate 11 August 1895. This is likely a transcription error, but the original baptism record should be consulted to resolve this discrepancy.	Hollier, Lucien (I4014)
4713	The Hinckley family came early to Thetford and were very influential in the development of the town. Unlike most of Thetford's early residents, they came from Lebanon, Connectcut, the next town to Hebron. Oramel Hinckley settled on Thetford Hill, and owned large tracts of land in town. [Baldwin, History and Folklore of Post Mills Vermont, 7]	Hinckley, Colonel Oramel (I1285)
4714	The information about Pierre Grasset/Isabeau Cordeau family comes from the marriage contract between their son Pierre Grasset Latour and Marie Bontemps agreed upon at Bergerac in 1756. In 1998, Professional genealogist Martine Duhamel found no further birth or marriage information for the Pierre Grasset/Isabeau Caudou family. This supports the likely supposition that they were Protestants for whom there would be no documentation in the Catholic Church records of the period. The Edict of Nantes, issued by Henri IV in 1598 had granted religious freedom in France. However, in 1685 his grandson Louis XIV repealed this freedom with the Edict of Fontainebleau. This revocation of the Edict of Nantes outlawed what Louis called the "Religion Prétendument Réformée" (the Allegedly Reformed Religion) and ordered the destruction of Protestant places of worship. A subsequent series of royal declarations issued between 1698 and 1715 created a web of particularly repressive statutes against Protestants. These laws were affirmed by Louis IV in a declaration given at Versailles on 14 May 1724, in which the king forbade all his subjets: "[D]e faire aucun exercice de religion autre que de ladite Religion catholique et de s'assembler pour cet effet en aucun lieu et sous quelque prétexte que ce puisse être, à peine contre les hommes des galères perpétuelles ; et contre les femmes d'être rasées et enfermées pour toujours dans les lieux que nos juges estimeront à propos, avec confiscation des biens des uns et des autres, même à peine de mort contre ceux qui se seront assemblez en armes. [to exercise any religion other than the Catholic religion and to not assemble for this purpose in any place and under whatever pretext, the penalty being for men to the galleys for life, and for women to be shorn and locked forever in places that judges deem fit, with confiscation of their property, even the death penalty against those who assemble in arms.]" Article 2 punished preachers with the death penalty, forbade anyone from giving them sanctuary; it was obligatory to denounce them. Article 3 required the parents to have their children baptized within 24 hours of birth by the local priest, and articles 4 to 7 mandated raising the children as Catholics. Articles 15 to 17 reaffirmed the formalities prescribed by the Catholic Church for marriage and marriage banns and the obligation to be married by the parish priest. In this milieu, Protestants did not have the opportunity to worship freely, have marital status (leading to their children being potentially labeled as "bâtards"), or even hold certain occupations such as physician, printer or bookseller where licensing depended on a certificate of Catholicity. In parts of the Aquitaine region, Catholics accounted for only about one-thirtieth of population in 1685. Even after 85 years of conversion efforts, Catholics would number no more than half the population. Despite their numbers, Protestants generally abandoned themselves to a fatalistic passivity toward Catholicism; there was no armed revolt as happened elsewhere in France. However, in 1742 a first assembly of the Protestant faithful “au desert” took place in the Bergerac area. The notion of "le culte au desert," worship in the wilderness, had Biblical underpinnings in Hosea 2:16-17, "Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness and speak comfortably to her". Protestant assemblies in the countryside of up to 6,000 participants show an organized community and a renewal of faith. Even so, baptisms and marriages performed by itinerant preachers remained unrecognized by the State and patently illegal. Thus, as Protestants in 18th century France, the Grasset Latour family likely faced many troubles for the practice of their faith.	Grasset, Pierre (I1068)

4717	The marriage contract for Robert Drouin and Anne Cloutier was signed by the Signeurie of Beauport, parish of Notre Dame de la Misericorde, on July 27, 1636. This contgract, which is still preserved in the archives of the Seminary of Quebec, was the first marriage contract drawn up in Nouvelle France, or Canada.

The New Orleans Bee/ L’Abeille de la Nouvelle-Orléans was a French language newspaper published in New Orleans beginning on September 1, 1827. An English section was added three months later. The newspaper continued as a dual language publication until 1872 when the English portion was dropped and once again it became French only. Briefly [1829-1830] there was also a Spanish language section. The New Orleans Bee was originally published three times a week, but became a daily after a few years. Publication ceased in 1925.

4723	The original text states Isabeau, not Isabelle. Some sources incorrectly cite the wife of Pierre Grasset as being "Isabelle dit Deslauriers Cordeau" and injudiciously include her among the children of the early Québeçoise family of Jacques Cordeau and Maguerite Toupin. Credible documenation indicates that Cordeau-Toupin family had 5 children: Jacques, Marguerite, Marie dite Marie-Madeleine, Jean-François, and Antoine. (See Jetté: Dictionnaire généalogique des familles du Québec, p. 270) "Isabeau Caudou" was name of the wife of Pierre Grasset of Bergerac.	Caudou, Isabeau (I1069)

4726	The Schaaf family, made up of the parents and six children left for Louisiana in December 1720 aboard the ship La Garonne. By January 1721, the ship's passengers were showing signs of an epidemic and docked at Brest, France to take refuge. The ship left Brest on February 27, 1721 and arrived at Saint Domingue (where the ships normally stopped enroute to Louisiana to pick up trade goods bound for Louisiana) where it was captured on April 30, 1731 by a pirate ship called La Gaillarde. The ship's passengers were rescued by the governor of Saint Dominque and brought to Cap Francois on July 19, 1721. During the journey, the German immigrants had experienced the effects of one of the worst epidemics in recorded history (300 Germans were sick), and after the attack by pirates, there were only 50 survivors. When the Schaaf family disembarked in Louisiana, the Schaaf parents had died, the survivors found that the Company of the Indies had gone bankrupt so that they had no land to settle, and they were literally stranded. Although the German population had little influence on the culture of Louisiana, many inhabitants of St Charles Parish still carry gallicized version of the original German surnames, such as Schexnaydre, Folse, and Oubre. The Schaaf family would be known as Chauff and, on one occasion, Mouton. One town name, "Des Allemands", is a modern reminder of the town's origin.	Schaf, Jacob (I841)

4736	Theophile Hollier The death of Mr. Theophile Hollier, which occurred at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Chas. Russell, in Lafayette, on Saturday, June 2, 1906, at 9:30 p. m., was received at his home, Opelousas, with most profound regrets, and the large concourse of friends which formed the funeral cortege when the body reached here Sunday mutely but strongly attested the esteem in which he was held by the people of this community. Mr. Hollier had been ill for some months, suffering with chronic constitutional troubles, but he had rallied and when taken seriously ill was on his way to Texas, and had stopped to see his daughter in Lafayette. There he was stricken and did not recover. His wife preceded him to the grave only a few months ago, and both of them were, it was thought at the time, fatally stricken at the same time. Now that they have reached that coast, over life’s rough ocean driven, may they rejoice, no wanderer lost, a family in Heaven. Mr. Hollier was 57 years of age. He was a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen and of the Woodmen of the World, and members of both orders met the body at the train and accompanied it to the grave.	Hollier, Theophile (I3013)
4737	Theophile's 1908 year of death on his headstone is incorrect since his date of death is noted as 2 Jun 1906 in his obituary in the St. Landry Clarion and his date of burial is noted as 3 June 1906 in Fr. Hebert's reference.	Hollier, Theophile (I3013)
4738	There is a discrepancy between Fr. Hebert's reference and the grave marker. Fr. Hebert states she was born in 1893, but the grave marker states 1892.	Artigue, Alida (I2655)
4739	There is also another source citation in Fr. Hebert's books: "GONOR, Azelie (Simon & Marie de la Conceptione VIENNE) m. 16 Sept. 1851 Joseph HOLLIER (Opel. Ch.: v. A, # 33)" and "HOLLIER, Joseph (Clement & Divine LANGLOIS) m. 16 Sept. 1851 Azelie GONOR (Opel. Ch.: v. A, #33)". The records for Opel. Ch.: v. A, # 33 and #35 should both be consulted for further proof.	Family F655
4740	There is apparently an error on the date of the death announcment. Octave most likely died on the Sunday, as stated, which was 16 June 1872. This date also is the same as noted on his gravestone.	Roy, Octave (I3754)
4741	There is no indication of when Jean Homehara Grasset Latour died. Sources citing a death date of 23 April 1855 in Saint Landry Parish, Louisiana, arise from a 1997 transcription error of information from Hébert's Southwest Louisiana Records (SWLR). In volume 17, page 367, of the SWLR and on the 1999-2000 CD-ROM compilation is the following entry: "LATOUR, Omer d. 23 April 1885 at age 51 yrs. (Opel. Ch.: v. 2, p. 415)" The date of "1885" was incorrectly transcribed as "1855." Since an age-span of 51 years corresponded to the 1804 birth of Jean Homehara Grasset Latour, this error went unnoticed for several years and has proliferated. The "Omer" in this Hébert entry refers to Homère A. Latour, who was born in 1833 in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana.	Grasset Latour, Jean Homehara (I2703)
4742	Therese Hazel Hollier Opelousas - A Mass of Christian Burial will be held for, Therese Hazel Hollier, on Monday, September 24, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. in the St. Landry Catholic Church in Opelousas. Fr. Russell Harrington will celebrate the Mass. Rite of Committal will follow in the Bellevue Memorial Park Cemetery. Hazel, age 90, a resident of Opelousas, passed away on Thursday, September 20, 2018, at Our Lady of Prompt Succor Nursing Home with her family at her side. Hazel was a kind gentle, generous women who loved The Lord. She spent several hours a day praying for the needs of others. Although she didn't have children of her own she dearly loved her nieces and nephews and always enjoyed being with her step-children and their families. She enjoyed sewing and took pride in making all her own clothes. She loved to dance and would often say "I would rather dance than eat". She will be greatly missed by her family, friends and all who knew and loved her. She is survived by her loving husband, Corrace Hollier of Opelousas, her sisters, Dot Speyrer and Sr. Juliana Thibodeaux, 9 nieces and nephews, 6 step-children, 18 step grand-children, numerous step great grandchildren and step great-great grandchildren.

4745	This information has been provided by Mr. Raymond Gordon of California. Mr. Gordon is a decendent of Francois "Howard" Hollier. I am indebted to him for providing this information. "The clarification needed is that Faustin Hollier fathered a son in 1834 before he married Virginie DeVillier. Faustin acknowledged and raised his son along with his other children. As was custom at that time and to protect his wife and legitimate children, Françoise was given the made-up surname Howard, which Françoise used until sometime after the 1880s when he could freely use his real last name. In the 1877 probate record of Faustin Hollier, Francois Howard is acknowledged in the distribution of land section along with Faustin's other children."

The following information was extracted from a US Navy report from the Division of Naval History (OP-29).

"Lt. Dufilho was killed on 25 August 1942, having been attached to a fighting squadron, when the plane which he was piloting was lost in the Southwest Pacific. Lt. Dufilho was awarded the NAVY CROSS. The DISTINGUISHED FLYING CROSS was previously awarded."

Marion William Dufilho, born 22 May 1916 in Opelousas, La., graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis on 2 June 1938. On 24 August 1942, while serving as a section leader in Fighting Squadron 5 in Saratoga (CV-3), Lieutenant Dufilho was killed in action in the Battle of the Eastern Solomons. He was posthumously awarded both the Navy Cross and the Distinguished Flying Cross for his heroism and achievement in this battle, which turned back a major effort of the Japanese to reinforce Guadalcanal and Tulagi.

"Butch" O'Hare Wingman
On Febuary 1942, the enemy at Rabaul was determined to locate and sink the U.S. Carrier Lexington and Japanese G4M1 Bettys set out with that end in sight. Alerted to the coming fight, six F4F Wildcats landed on the ''Lady Lex'' to refuel and rearm and six others took to the skies to rid the carrier deck of fully fueled and armed aircraft and to engage the attacking bombers. The fight was bitter.

When a second wave of enemy bombers appeared, only two aircraft, F4F-3s flown by Lieutenant Edward H. "Butch" O'Hare and Lieutenant (Junior Grade) Marion Dufilho, were between the attackers and the carrier they protected. Dufilho's machine guns froze but O'Hare dove on the eight bombers and downed four; then he aimed at taking out the master bombardier and interrupting the bomb run.

USS DUFILHO
The USS DUFILHO (a destroyer escort, DE-423) was launched on 9 March 1944 in honor of Lt. Dufilho.

Dufilho (DE-423) was launched 9 March 1944 by Brown Shipbuilding Co., Houston, Tex.; sponsored by Mrs. M. W. Dufilho, widow of Lieutenant Dufilho; and commissioned 21 July 1944, Commander A. H. Nienau, USNR, in command.

Dufilho escorted Vixen (PG-53) with Admiral R. E. Ingersoll, Commander-in-Chief, Atlantic Fleet embarked on a tour of inspection of the Caribbean naval bases between 18 September and 19 October 1944. After a voyage to Casablanca, French Morocco, as escort for Kasaan Bay (CVE-69) from 24 October to 14 November, Dufilho sailed from Norfolk 7 December for the Pacific, arriving at Manus, Admiralty Islands, 15 January 1945.

Dufilho got underway for Leyte 23 January 1945 but was diverted to Morotai to join the escort for a convoy of 80 LSTs bound with reinforcements of men and supplies for Lingayen Gulf, Luzon. She patrolled there on 9 and 10 February while the men and supplies were unloaded, then sailed to San Pedro Bay, Leyte, 14 February. She continued to escort supply convoys from Morotai and Leyte to Subic Bay and Lingayen Gulf until the 27th when she was assigned to the San Bernardino-Verde Islands Minesweeping unit guarding minecraft as they cleared the sealane to Manila, as well as taking part in naval and amphibious operations along this route. Arriving at Subic Bay 6 March, Dufilho operated on antisubmarine patrol and escort duty.

Between 26 April and 5 July 1945, Dufilho joined in the Borneo operation, escorting shipping from the Philippines and Mios Woendi to Morotai in preparation for the landings at Tarakan and Brunei Bay in May and June. She convoyed reinforcements to Tarakan, and patrolled off the beaches during the assaults at Brunei Bay, escorted support troops in, and returned with empty landing craft to San Pedro Bay.

After brief overhaul, Dufilho patrolled out of Leyte on antisubmarine, air-sea rescue, weather reporting and escort duty. On 3 and 4 August 1945 she aided in the rescue of survivors from Indianapolis (CA-35). Following a voyage to Okinawa to convoy LSTs and LSMs to Leyte for repairs, Dufilho sailed from Leyte 6 September and after calling at Okinawa, arrived at Shanghai 22 September. She operated on a variety of duties at port and Hong Kong until 5 January 1946 when she sailed for the west coast. Dufilho arrived at San Diego 12 February and was placed out of commission in reserve 14 May 1946.

Dufilho was stricken from the inventory on 1 December 1972 and was sold for scrapping on 1 August 1973 by the Defense Reutilizaiton and Marketing Service.

The Hinckley family came early to Thetford and were very influential in the development of the town.

The information about Pierre Grasset/Isabeau Cordeau family comes from the marriage contract between their son Pierre Grasset Latour and Marie Bontemps agreed upon at Bergerac in 1756.

In 1998, Professional genealogist Martine Duhamel found no further birth or marriage information for the Pierre Grasset/Isabeau Caudou family. This supports the likely supposition that they were Protestants for whom there would be no documentation in the Catholic Church records of the period.

The Edict of Nantes, issued by Henri IV in 1598 had granted religious freedom in France. However, in 1685 his grandson Louis XIV repealed this freedom with the Edict of Fontainebleau. This revocation of the Edict of Nantes outlawed what Louis called the "Religion Prétendument Réformée" (the Allegedly Reformed Religion) and ordered the destruction of Protestant places of worship. A subsequent series of royal declarations issued between 1698 and 1715 created a web of particularly repressive statutes against Protestants. These laws were affirmed by Louis IV in a declaration given at Versailles on 14 May 1724, in which the king forbade all his subjets:

"[D]e faire aucun exercice de religion autre que de ladite Religion catholique et de s'assembler pour cet effet en aucun lieu et sous quelque prétexte que ce puisse être, à peine contre les hommes des galères perpétuelles ; et contre les femmes d'être rasées et enfermées pour toujours dans les lieux que nos juges estimeront à propos, avec confiscation des biens des uns et des autres, même à peine de mort contre ceux qui se seront assemblez en armes. [to exercise any religion other than the Catholic religion and to not assemble for this purpose in any place and under whatever pretext, the penalty being for men to the galleys for life, and for women to be shorn and locked forever in places that judges deem fit, with confiscation of their property, even the death penalty against those who assemble in arms.]"

Article 2 punished preachers with the death penalty, forbade anyone from giving them sanctuary; it was obligatory to denounce them.

Article 3 required the parents to have their children baptized within 24 hours of birth by the local priest, and articles 4 to 7 mandated raising the children as Catholics.

Articles 15 to 17 reaffirmed the formalities prescribed by the Catholic Church for marriage and marriage banns and the obligation to be married by the parish priest.

In this milieu, Protestants did not have the opportunity to worship freely, have marital status (leading to their children being potentially labeled as "bâtards"), or even hold certain occupations such as physician, printer or bookseller where licensing depended on a certificate of Catholicity.

In parts of the Aquitaine region, Catholics accounted for only about one-thirtieth of population in 1685. Even after 85 years of conversion efforts, Catholics would number no more than half the population. Despite their numbers, Protestants generally abandoned themselves to a fatalistic passivity toward Catholicism; there was no armed revolt as happened elsewhere in France. However, in 1742 a first assembly of the Protestant faithful “au desert” took place in the Bergerac area.

The notion of "le culte au desert," worship in the wilderness, had Biblical underpinnings in Hosea 2:16-17, "Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness and speak comfortably to her". Protestant assemblies in the countryside of up to 6,000 participants show an organized community and a renewal of faith. Even so, baptisms and marriages performed by itinerant preachers remained unrecognized by the State and patently illegal.

Thus, as Protestants in 18th century France, the Grasset Latour family likely faced many troubles for the practice of their faith.

The New Orleans Bee/ L’Abeille de la Nouvelle-Orléans was a French language newspaper published in New Orleans beginning on September 1, 1827. An English section was added three months later. The newspaper continued as a dual language publication until 1872 when the English portion was dropped and once again it became French only. Briefly [1829-1830] there was also a Spanish language section. The New Orleans Bee was originally published three times a week, but became a daily after a few years. Publication ceased in 1925.

The original text states Isabeau, not Isabelle.

Some sources incorrectly cite the wife of Pierre Grasset as being "Isabelle dit Deslauriers Cordeau" and injudiciously include her among the children of the early Québeçoise family of Jacques Cordeau and Maguerite Toupin.

Credible documenation indicates that Cordeau-Toupin family had 5 children: Jacques, Marguerite, Marie dite Marie-Madeleine, Jean-François, and Antoine. (See Jetté: Dictionnaire généalogique des familles du Québec, p. 270)

The Schaaf family, made up of the parents and six children left for Louisiana in December 1720 aboard the ship La Garonne. By January 1721, the ship's passengers were showing signs of an epidemic and docked at Brest, France to take refuge. The ship left Brest on February 27, 1721 and arrived at Saint Domingue (where the ships normally stopped enroute to Louisiana to pick up trade goods bound for Louisiana) where it was captured on April 30, 1731 by a pirate ship called La Gaillarde. The ship's passengers were rescued by the governor of Saint Dominque and brought to Cap Francois on July 19, 1721. During the journey, the German immigrants had experienced the effects of one of the worst epidemics in recorded history (300 Germans were sick), and after the attack by pirates, there were only 50 survivors. When the Schaaf family disembarked in Louisiana, the Schaaf parents had died, the survivors found that the Company of the Indies had gone bankrupt so that they had no land to settle, and they were literally stranded. Although the German population had little influence on the culture of Louisiana, many inhabitants of St Charles Parish still carry gallicized version of the original German surnames, such as Schexnaydre, Folse, and Oubre. The Schaaf family would be known as Chauff and, on one occasion, Mouton. One town name, "Des Allemands", is a modern reminder of the town's origin.

Theophile Hollier

The death of Mr. Theophile Hollier, which occurred at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Chas. Russell, in Lafayette, on Saturday, June 2, 1906, at 9:30 p. m., was received at his home, Opelousas, with most profound regrets, and the large concourse of friends which formed the funeral cortege when the body reached here Sunday mutely but strongly attested the esteem in which he was held by the people of this community.

Mr. Hollier had been ill for some months, suffering with chronic constitutional troubles, but he had rallied and when taken seriously ill was on his way to Texas, and had stopped to see his daughter in Lafayette. There he was stricken and did not recover.

His wife preceded him to the grave only a few months ago, and both of them were, it was thought at the time, fatally stricken at the same time. Now that they have reached that coast, over life’s rough ocean driven, may they rejoice, no wanderer lost, a family in Heaven.

Mr. Hollier was 57 years of age. He was a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen and of the Woodmen of the World, and members of both orders met the body at the train and accompanied it to the grave.

Hollier, Theophile (I3013)

4737

Theophile's 1908 year of death on his headstone is incorrect since his date of death is noted as 2 Jun 1906 in his obituary in the St. Landry Clarion and his date of burial is noted as 3 June 1906 in Fr. Hebert's reference.

Hollier, Theophile (I3013)

4738

There is a discrepancy between Fr. Hebert's reference and the grave marker. Fr. Hebert states she was born in 1893, but the grave marker states 1892.

There is also another source citation in Fr. Hebert's books: "GONOR, Azelie (Simon & Marie de la Conceptione VIENNE) m. 16 Sept. 1851 Joseph HOLLIER (Opel. Ch.: v.

A, # 33 and #35 should both be consulted for further proof.

There is apparently an error on the date of the death announcment. Octave most likely died on the Sunday, as stated, which was 16 June 1872. This date also is the same as noted on his gravestone.

Roy, Octave (I3754)

4741

There is no indication of when Jean Homehara Grasset Latour died. Sources citing a death date of 23 April 1855 in Saint Landry Parish, Louisiana, arise from a 1997 transcription error of information from Hébert's Southwest Louisiana Records (SWLR). In volume 17, page 367, of the SWLR and on the 1999-2000 CD-ROM compilation is the following entry:

"LATOUR, Omer d. 23 April 1885 at age 51 yrs. (Opel. Ch.: v. 2, p. 415)"

The date of "1885" was incorrectly transcribed as "1855." Since an age-span of 51 years corresponded to the 1804 birth of Jean Homehara Grasset Latour, this error went unnoticed for several years and has proliferated.

The "Omer" in this Hébert entry refers to Homère A. Latour, who was born in 1833 in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana.

Therese Hazel Hollier

Opelousas - A Mass of Christian Burial will be held for, Therese Hazel Hollier, on Monday, September 24, 2018, at 1:00 p.m. in the St. Landry Catholic Church in Opelousas. Fr. Russell Harrington will celebrate the Mass. Rite of Committal will follow in the Bellevue Memorial Park Cemetery.

Hazel, age 90, a resident of Opelousas, passed away on Thursday, September 20, 2018, at Our Lady of Prompt Succor Nursing Home with her family at her side. Hazel was a kind gentle, generous women who loved The Lord. She spent several hours a day praying for the needs of others. Although she didn't have children of her own she dearly loved her nieces and nephews and always enjoyed being with her step-children and their families.

This information has been provided by Mr. Raymond Gordon of California. Mr. Gordon is a decendent of Francois "Howard" Hollier. I am indebted to him for providing this information.

"The clarification needed is that Faustin Hollier fathered a son in 1834 before he married Virginie DeVillier. Faustin acknowledged and raised his son along with his other children.
As was custom at that time and to protect his wife and legitimate children, Françoise was given the made-up surname Howard, which Françoise used until sometime after the 1880s when he could freely use his real last name.

In the 1877 probate record of Faustin Hollier, Francois Howard is acknowledged in the distribution of land section along with Faustin's other children."
