Biography

Story by: Marie Barrios Caballero, Granddaughter Compiler: Helen Marie Barrios, Great-granddaughter 8 February 2014; published Ancestry.com requiring a paid subscription to access.

Marie Josephine Toups was born on 18 November 1858 in Lafourche Parish and christened as a Catholic on 27 February 1859 at Holy Savior Church (Lockport Ch.: v.1, #49). Her parents were Joseph Onesy Toups and Marie Elodie Guitreaux, who were married on 11 February 1858 at St. Joseph's Church. Joseph Onesy Toups was born on 29 January 1838 in Lafourche Parish and christened as a Catholic on 20 September 1838 at St. Joseph's Church. Marie Elodie Guitreaux was born on 23 April 1838 in Lafourche Parish and christened as a Catholic on 8 October 1838 at St. Joseph's Church. 3. Manual Olivier Barrios and Marie Josephine Toups had eight children together who were all born in Lockport and christened as Catholics at Holy Savior Church.

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).
