  Obituary	Obituary, Louisiana Courier, 29 Jan. 1844: Yesterday at 4 o'clock, P.M., aged 69 years, Madame Widow Pitard, a native of Bordeaux, and formerly a resident of St. Domingo. The friends of the family are requested to assist at the funeral, which will take place this afternoon, at five o'clock, from the residence of her son, J. Pitard, St. Anne Street, between Clairborne and Roberson Streets. Also see in French in the L'Abeille, 29 Jan. 1844, p1. col. 8.
  Died	28 Jan 1844	New Orleans, Louisiana
  Buried	29 Jan 1844	St. Louis Cemetery #2, New Orleans, Louisiana   [1]
  "Tomb no. 8 in first aisle to left of main aisle, face east, between St. Louis & Conti streets"
  Notes	The baptismal record for her son J.B. Octave Pitard, which says that she was from the Parish of St. Andrew, Bordeaux, Dept. of Gironde, France. This is the parish that belongs to the cathedral; the cathedral in Bordeaux is the Cathédrale Saint-André de Bordeaux. The certificate also gives her parents' names. Her marriage record also says that she's a "native of area of Saint-Andre de Bordeaux," and that she's "fille mineur et legitime de Jean Avril et Marguerite Andat." It says that she has a tutor, Jean Seguin. A tutor would be appointed at the death of both parents. Her mother had died in 1794, when she was named the "vivante epouse du sieur Jean Avril.” She does not appear in the NOLA death records index, or in records of funeral expenses from 1843-46, or in the cemeteries' interment books for 1843-45. Her certificate of burial, however, places her in St. Louis #2.
