  Notes	In her father’s probate files her name is Marie Josephine. In 1913 she applied for a Confederate pension in her husband's name. Censuses (1880, 1920) say her parents were both born in France. This may be correct, though they were married in Martinique. In the 1880 census, where she is living with her cousin "Oct. Courjol," clerk, and his wife "Em. Correjoles." Also living with them is Palmyre Cartier, 43, a teacher, no relation given. In the 1879 City Directory, Octave Correjoles, clerk, is living at 125 St. Philip. This is her sister Amelie Victoire’s family. In 1920, as "Emma Prados" she is the household of her nephew "Lean Raca," aged 56, and his wife Noemi, aged 45, their children, and Lean Raca's sister Jeanne Roux. [2, 3]
