The Delahorne/Curtis Family History

Serrette

⚭ Married more than once

♀Euphemie Serrette

Born 1884, Louisiana, United States.

Euphemie Serrette (born March 1884) was a Louisiana woman of St. Martin Parish, the eldest child of Anatole Serrette and Amelia Pennison Daigle. She married at fifteen, a month after her fifteenth birthday, and was later widowed with five children. She was the eldest sister of Ida Serrette (1903–1990), the mother of Floyd Amatus Delahorne (1922–2014), and nineteen years older than Ida.

Early life and first marriage

She was born in Louisiana in March 1884, a few months before her parents married at St. Martin Parish that June; her mother was then fifteen. She grew up the eldest of eight children. On 19 April 1899, in St. Martin Parish, she married Leonard Stewart, whose name the records also spell “Steward” and “Stuart”. The census of 1900 finds the young couple in the second police-jury ward of St. Martin Parish, and they were still there in 1910. Five children are known, born between 1901 and 1913. The youngest, Clifton, died unmarried at Butte La Rose, on the Atchafalaya, on 24 March 1931, aged about seventeen.

Widowhood and second marriage

Leonard Stewart died before the end of 1918. On 10 December 1918, in St. Martin Parish, Euphemie married again, this time to Frank LeBlanc, born about 1877, a son of Jules LeBlanc and Adelaide Dauphine. The marriage record names her as Leonard Stewart’s widow and gives her parents as Anatole Serrette and Amelia Daigle. No record of her death has been found.

Notes

The censuses give her birth as March 1884; her second marriage record gives 1886. The clerk who recorded her son Clifton’s death wrote her maiden name as “Perret”.
