This picture on the left is of Forrest Esponge,son of Adras and Grandson of Tomas. The picture was taken about 1914. The woman is a girlfriend . He later married Anecia Cheramie. He moved to Grand Isle and opened up a French Bread Bakery down Santiny Lane with his brother-in-law. He is my uncle who would take me to the cemetary. He and his wife took me in when Dad was in the hospital with polio. Bo-bor, as he was called, died in 1963.He is pictured here on the right in the 1950's with his nephew, Cisco(Dorcelie Esponge, Jr.)
The Vizier Family
Curtis Vizier and Vernice Vizier(left) in the early 1940's in Grand Isle. They are the 2 youngest children of Dod and DoDo Vizier. The family was originally from Golden Meadow but moved to Grand Isle when their father, Felicien(DoDo) and his brother-in-law, Forrest Esponge, had a "family feud" with Felicien's father, Beauregard, over some land. That was in 1932; Curtis was only 6 months old. The picture on the right is of their mother, Sevia Esponge Vizier(Dod). The baby is Vernice and the 2 boys are Adam(now deceased) and Harris. Curtis had not been born yet, so this had to have been taken in Golden Meadow. The oldest son, Ojes, died as an infant, as he was being brought home from New Orleans to see the doctor. The doctor perfomed a circumcision and he bled to death. He is buried somewhere in the Cheramie Cemetary.
