Elmira Robinson
Buried: Oct. 7, 1965
From obituary: Mrs. Elmira Lombard Robinson, wife of the late Joseph
Robinson, mother of Mrs. Mercedes Jones, Ralph Robinson and the late Mrs.
Gertrude Gaston, Miss Beatrice Robinson, and Earl Robinson.  Daughter of the
late Mrs. Oretia De Lille Lombard and Augustine Lombard; sister of Mrs.
Augustine Hobgood and Alphonse Lombard, the late Mrs. Aleda Roche, Mrs. Emma
Duplessis and Mrs. Leonine Billard.  Survived by 12 grandchildren, 24
great-grandchildren, 1 ggg-grandchild.
**I do not see a connection to the Amann or McDonald names from information
in the obituary, so I do not know what the connection the these families
might be.

Elizabeth McDonald
Born: August 28, 1885 in Algiers, Orleans Parish, LA
Died: September 05, 1973 in Algiers, Orleans Parish, LA
Parents: Eugene McDonald and Mary Elizabeth Lyons McDonald
**Elizabeth's mother "boarded" Albert Amann when Mary Ellen Spellman Amann
died and his obituary lists her as his "adopted mother".  I have not found
adoption papers yet.  After Albert died, his wife (Anna) and son (Donald)
moved in with Mary Elizabeth Lyons McDonald.

It is possible that both or either Eugene McDonald and Mary Elizabeth Lyons
McDonald are buried here.  Eugene died 1885-1890, Mary Elizabeth's date of
death is unknown at this time, but she was listed in the 1920 LA Census at
the age of 69.

***Mary Ellen Spellman Amann is my great-aunt, sister to my
great-grandfather, John Peter Spellman.  Their parents:  Michael Spellman and
Julia Mary Nolan Spellman.
