  Notes	According to his obituary article, he was born in Apalachicola, Florida, and moved with his family to New Orleans about age 8, which would have been about the end of the Civil War. He did quite well running a grocery. (The New Orleans States’ article mentions age 18, but he appears on the 1870 census in New Orleans). The articles say he is survived by Mrs. Flora Michel; Misses Grace, Lolia, Edna; and Charles and Roy.
