Biography

Dumas Wiltz is a part of US Black heritage.

Dumas Wiltz lived in Louisiana.

Dumas Charles Wiltz, son of Galbert Wiltz and Pauline Savoie,^[1] was born in the fall of 1899 in Louisiana. He was counted on the census with his parents in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana in 1910.^[2]

When he was 23, in April of 1923, he married Onjata "Anita" Berard in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana.^[1]

They had at least ten known children, nine of them sons.^[3] Dumas and Anita were listed on the 1940 census in Parks, St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, with nine children, including a daughter.^[4] The one listed as Carlton was actually Calvin. Two more sons, Norris and Paul Carroll, were born in the 1940s.

A death record for a Dumas Wiltz says he died in Harris County, Texas on 9 July 1981,^[5][6] but his Find a Grave Memorial page says he died in Parks, Louisiana and was buried at Saint Michael's Catholic Cemetery in St. Martinville, in 1963.^[7] As he wasn't listed as a survivor when his wife died in 1977 (her death notice is posted on his and her memorials at Find A Grave), it would appear that either he predeceased her, or perhaps they were divorced. The 1981 Texas death record does not include an image or any further information. There could well have been another Dumas Wiltz. More research is needed.
