• Name	Agatha Pitard
  Birth	Aug 1876	Louisiana
  I go by the 1900 census here, though the 1880 census implies that she was born in 1868: could they be off by 10 years in 1880?
  Gender	Female
  Census	1880	New Orleans, Louisiana
  aged 12, born in Louisiana; father born in Louisiana, mother in Ireland. 12 would seem to be a entry error for 2 here.

  Origins
  Patriarch & Matriarch	Pierre Pitard             d. Bef Jan 1700  (5 x Great Grandfather)  Catherine "Kate" Mary Copley           b. Abt 1844, Ireland           d. 18 Sep 1899, New Orleans, Louisiana  (Age 55 years)  (Mother)
  Notes	She died after a horrific crime; fearing that her daughter Blanche would be taken to an insane asylum, she shot Blanche and then herself rather than have her daughter taken away. Her daughter was only superficially wounded, and was removed to an asylum, but she died 38 days later from the wound and after refusing food. A series of articles appeared in New Orleans papers during July and August 1919 about the incident.
