DEATH: 1901 03 New Orleans
Baby Jeanne Solares died in March 1901 at the age of 2 months.
Her birth, of which no record has been found, must have been in January 1901. Recording births
months after the event was commonplace in the era. To officially record a birth which occurred
at home, as most did, required a trip to the Recorder's office by someone authorized to depose
the information.
Jeanne's death death was recorded by P. J. Schoen, a mortician. The death certificate does not
identify her parents. It states she died at 1238 Touro Street, New Orleans.
According to the 1900 US Census, Ramon Solares' family lived at 1213 Touro St.
Ramon's son Joseph & wife Alicia lived across the street at 1206.
His son Ramon Jr and wife Vincenzina lived on Marigny Street, three blocks away.
The people living at 1238 Touro in 1900 have not been identified as connected to Solares family.
The 1900 US Census of the named streets was enumerated between June 8th & 12th of 1900.
Any of the Solares households could have moved to 1238 Touro between June 1900 and
January 1901 when Jeanne was born.
Ramon was age 52, wife Georgina was age 36. Their youngest daughter Clem was age 2.
Ramon & Georgina easily could have been the parents of Jeanne. We can imagine distraught parents
summoning the undertaker to handle everything at a time of extreme emotional distress but why no
parent names were recorded is a mystery; the mystery.
Joseph and Alicia both were age 21. Their first known child Thelma was born 1903.
Joseph and Alicia easily could have been the parents of Jeanne.
Raymond [Ramon Jr] was age 28, his wife Vincenzina was 23. Their son "Sig" [Louis Sigmund Joseph Solares]
was born in 1899 leaving opportunity for a pregnancy in 1900 with a birth in Jan 1901.
To this author's knowledge, no more children were born to Ramon Jr and Vincenzina. The following
is mere conjecture. Because Ramon Jr died in 1910 from alcoholic destruction of his liver,
and no other Solares men died of similar cause, meaning alcoholism, I hypothecate that the loss
of his infant daughter led Ramon Jr to drink himself to death during the nine years
following her death. It has happened before to many. Many marriages cannot survive the death of
a child, especially an infant.
In any event, the loss of a two month old baby must have been emotionally devastating
to whoever were her parents and to all the Solares Family members.
