• Name	Henry Snodgrass Degrange
  Suffix	Sr.
  Relationship	with Gustave Jean Baptiste Pitard
  Born	3 Aug 1861	New Orleans, Louisiana   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Census	1880	New Orleans, Louisiana
  aged 18; born in Lousiana as with both parents; "Clk. in store"
  Census	1900	Mobile, Mobile Co., Alabama
  Head of House, aged 39; profession not legible
  Census	1910	Mobile, Mobile Co., Alabama
  HOH, aged 49; both his parents are (mistakenly) listed as born in Alabama
  Died	15 Jun 1915	Mobile, Mobile Co., Alabama   [2]
  Notes	There is no New Orleans birth record for him, which means he may have been born out of the city, perhaps in 1861 when his father was in Virginia during the Civil War, and/or his mother was out of the city? He did live there after that; there are birth records for two of the children, Ruth Marie and Joseph Henry. Confirmation that he is JHDeGrange's son come from the JHD correspondence, letter from Boston July 10, 1869, in which he encloses a short note "To Mr. Henry Snodgrass DeGrange." His age is given as "31" when he was married; his wife was 30. In 1900, all three of his children, including his youngest at the time--Ester at age 2--were born in Louisiana, meaning that he must have moved there very recently. His death certificate also names his parents. It says that he died of "vascular disease of the heart." Occupation is "Clerk at M & O." He had lived in Mobile for 18 years before his death. He was buried at the "Catholic cemetery," presumably in Mobile. [3]
