I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE WHEN THIS WAS TAKEN, ALL I DO KNOW IS MAYBELLE'S FATHER VICTOR DIED IN THE BEGINNING OF WW1 OF THE FLUE, SO BASED ON THAT I JUST HAD TO GUESS. HER FATHER WAS A CITIZEN OF CANADA BUT WAS BORN IN BELGIUM. HE WENT TO WORK IN NEW ORLEANS WHERE I AM SURE HE MET DRUE. HIS ONLY CHILDREN I KNOW OF WERE SOPHIA, AND MAYBELLE. IF ANYONE KNOWS ABOUT THE DEMAY FAMILY I WOULD LOVE TO LEARN MORE
