Biography

Julia Fruge was born July 1877 according to her gravestone^[1] and February 1875 according to the 1900 census^[2]

It is her October 15, 1895 marriage record to Eugene Richard that gives us her parents names, Gerard Fruge and Zilla Deville.^[3]

Something odd happens with the 1930 census. There is a divorced Julia Fruge found living in Acadia Parish.^[4] The age is off by a bit. What makes it seem that this is her, is that Eugene is living with his daughter Lucinda's family and indicates he is widowed!^[5]

She died 20 July 1935 in Acadia Parish at the reported age of 60 years which is consistent with being born in 1875.^[6] Her death record also indicates that she was born in Basile, Louisiana, which at the time was part of St. Landry Parish, but now is in Acadia or Evangeline Parish.^[7][8]
