Louisiana Descendants of Jean Francisco ACOSTA Sr. of Galicia, Spain

Notes


63. Jeanette Joan OURSO

BIOGRAPHY: They had no ceiling in the house, only wooden willow beams for joists.  The kids would come over and hang on the beams like monkey bars and carve their names into them.

Wanna loved to play with the kids on the floor.  She was deaf and would always walk around barefooted.  One day, she went to bed, laid down, and died.


Joseph Julien FALCON Sr.

Occupation: He was a cane planter and was on the Ascension Parish Police Jury from 1916 to 1920. He had a nice plantation home in Brusly McCall.

During his life, he broke one of his toes so badly that in his later years, anyone could move the toe around, oscillate it any which way.  The toe would just flop around.  Stewart Falcon told a story how during the Civil War, as a teenager Joseph was hiding behind a tree and a Union soldier shot at Joseph, severing a finger tip.

He went to New Orleans to see his youngest son, Chris.  Chris lived in Thibodeaux, Louisiana and got severely burned.  Chris was sent to New Orleans.  When Joseph saw Chris, it shocked him so badly, he sat in a chair, suffered a heart attack and immediately died.  Chris is buried in the Donaldsonville Cemetery along with Joseph Julien and Wanna.
