Manual Olivier Barrios died before his grandchildren were born, and his physical description was not recorded. However, with Portuguese ancestry, Manual Olivier Barrios was probably five-foot, four or five inches tall, with a medium complexion, and brown eyes. 6. Manual Olivier Barrios saved several bags of money, which helped his widow, Marie Josephine Toups, to provide for their minor children for a few years. She assumed the position of Assistant Post Master and the management of their grocery store.
Marie Josephine Toups was a widow for thirty-eight years. As an adult, she was rather tall for her generation, with dark hair, blue eyes, a fair complexion, and sweet smile. As she aged, her hair turned a beautiful, silver gray. She died at the age of seventy-six on 6 July 1934. Marie Josephine Toups was buried in Holy Savior Cemetery, Lockport, on 7 July 1934 (Certificate of Death, Holy Savior Church).
