  Notes	Times-Picayune, 23 Mar. 1890, p10: On Saturday afternoon were married at the Jesuits' church Miss Blanche Pitard and Mr. Frank L. Coffee of California. Mr. Coffee is a direct descendant of General Andrew Jackson, and was born and raised in Claiborne county, Miss., but is now living with his family in California. Miss Pitard is a charming young Creole girl of the well-known Pitard family, and carries with her the best wishes of hundreds of warm friends. Her only attendants at the ceremony were her two little cousins, George and Inez Pitard. The ushers were Mr. Louis Pitard and Dr. J. Moore Soniat. The severe illness of Mr. Coffee's father hastened the marriage and interfered materially with the plans of the wedding. Numbers of friends and acquaintances who did not receive invitations will understand that this is the cause of their failure to arrive.
