• Notes

  "Born in New Orleans of an illustrious old French family intimately connected with the history of the city, he had for many years taken an active part in the commercial and social list of the city. He was, up to about a year ago, senior member of the firm of Paul Gelpi & Sons, wine and liquor importers, and became President of Paul Gelpi & Sons, candy manufacturers, when the old firm launched its new business. He married Miss Louise Baugier, a daughter of a well known French family here." [New Orleans Times-Picayune, citation details below]
