Biography

Descendant of Acadians.

I was born in 1935 & lived with my parents in Church Point ,Louisiana where I went to school at the Convent. My Mother & 5-month-old baby brother Raymond Dale Beaugh were killed in a car accident in Conroe, Texas where they were buried with my Baby brother in my Mother's arms. This happened when I was 9 years old [one week before Christmas] December 18, 1944. where her and my baby brother were buried I did not get to go to the funeral ] [ one day before my Mom was supposed to come to Opelousas to see her lawyer to get custody of me because her and my Dad had separated her lawyer had told her not to contact me during that time so I thought she did care for me and I was very sad she wrote to her sister in law how she missed me and that often around nightfall she drove by where I was hoping to see me outside and she would cry her sister in law gave me her letters after I was married because they would have been destroyed if she had tried to give them to me before so for the next 9 years I did not know the truth ] after I found out the truth Charles Richard told me he would take us to the Cemetery where they were buried but when he went first to check they told him there had been a fire and all the headstones were destroyed .they give him copies from the Funeral home and he brought them to me Charles was very good to me and was more like a brother then a cousin I have always loved him very much - then I went to live with my Aunt Bertha Beaugh [my Daddy's sister] until I married in 1952.^[1]
