Notes |
- In the Times-Picayune on 4 Dec. 1887 (the December after her wedding), page 10, appears this note:
"Mrs. E. Portas Ramirez, nee Pitard, the wife of the commander of the Mexican man-of-war Democrats, is in the city on a visit, stopping with relatives at no. 473 Carondelet St."
On 4 March 1888 in the same paper (page 9), appears this note:
"Mrs. Podas [sic] Ramirez, accompanied by her sister, Miss Blanche Pitard, left Saturday last for Mexico, via San Francisco."
I can't find a birth or death record for her, though her obit appears. She may have been born in Mississippi, but not according to the 1900 census. Her family is living right next to her father's household in 1900.

Notes |
- Times-Picayune, 27 Feb. 1887, p9:
The marriage of Miss Julia Pitard to Capt. Enrique Portas Ramierz, of the Mexican navy, was solemnized on Saturday last at the Jesuits' Church. In spite of the rain which was falling in torrents, the church was thronged with teh friends of the happy couple, thus testifying to their popularity and the high esteem in which they are held. Miss Pitard was attended by little Miss Vertilee Stanton and little Miss Inez Pitard as flower girls. The bridesmaids were Miss Blanche Pitard, Miss Louise Theard, Miss Mamie Fitzpatrick, Zulmee Dunbar and Agatha Pitard. The groomsmen were Messrs. Manuel Zamora, Louis Pitard, Louis Petitpain, Andrew Fitzpatrick, Daniel M. Pitard, Pedro Solis (Vice Consul of Spain), J. Moore Soniat du Fossat, L. Imhold and J. Frois officiated as ushers. The bride, who is a pretty, attractive brunette, looked extremely lovely in a handsome white gros grain, elegant in its rich simplicity. The soft white veil of tulle was caught up at the side of the coiffure by an aigrette of orange blossoms and diamond ornament. The pretty bridesmaids were clad respectively in cream, blue and rose satin. Father Hubert made a very touching and apropos address to the couple, after which he pronounced them man and wife, then the sweet soprano notes of Mrs Witham were re-echoed through the church in a lovely Ave Maria. After the religious ceremony the bridal party proceeded to the bride's residence, where a reception followed, including only a limited number of friends and relatives. Capt. Portas Ramirez has taken unto himself, in the person of his lovely bride, a rare treasure of which he is well worthy. The young couple left after Mardi Gras for a bridal tour of three months, most of which time will be spent in travel.
