| Laurence was the oldest of Arthur and Catherine's children. he was 7 years old. Laurence had many different jobs, he was a dragman, then worked with a horse and wagon delivering beer, sometime later he owned a warehous, as did his brother Richard. Laurence seemed to lead a quiet life. this branch of the family ended with Frank and Annie, Laurence and Anna's children. They both married late in life. Frank married Katie Murphy and Annie married David Joseph Daly. they lived next door to each other, on the same street where they grew up. Neither ever had any children.Frank,and his father Laurence did not continue in the family wholesale grocery business after the war, more than likely because goods were difficult to get, instead they worked as carpenters. The reconstruction required quite alot of new housing. Times were very hard during this period. |

| Drayades Market The markets were filled with an amazing variety of local and imported foods and products. The Dryades Market was one of many city-owned public market. It was a large open-air market on Dryades and Melpomene streets. Here there was prepared food. In the 1800s, there were ordinances governing the preparation of food making it unlawful to cook any meat, game, fish or vegetables within the markets or on the sidewalks or nearby public grounds. And lack of refrigeration made keeping food fresh difficult. Other ordinances dealt with matters of lighting fires, but vendors were allowed to heat coffee, tea, chocolate and milk. However, you could always find women selling pralines, calas tout chaud (hot rice cakes) and gingerbread. (from Blake P.) Most importantly to a growing operation, Laurence would have dealt in liquor. You bought Liquor at grocery stores, he would have been the wholesaler to distribute it. The war however ended this for him, though not his brothers. |

| Anna was a Fledderman, we see only one Fledderman in NOLA, is it Anna brother, perhaps, but we can not tell for sure. We know that she was a catholic and that she most probably went to church at the Catholic Church across the street fromt he one Arthur & Catherine and Children went to church, so she could have known Laurence a long while. However the name Fledderman is very popular in Baltimore, and perhaps she was the daughter of a friend of Arthur's from his Baltimore days. We may never know for sure. Some of the things they witnessed in their adult lives: Spanish riot in 1851 epidemics of yellow fever in 1852 and 53 and 67 War with Mexico primary depot was NOLA Soldiers filled the streets in those days, and they were revered on May 15, 1847 the city was lit up in a victory celebration for the soldiers new public school system went into effect in 1847 as well (only male teachers) thanks to Irishman John McDonogh Benevolent Societies were in vogue. new customs house was completed in 47 and dedicated in 49 by visiting Henry Clay Railroads began to appear Butler's occupation of the city was not a too terrible thing, citizens for the most part felt rather safe, got on with their lives, as long as you weren't too Confederate. There were political riots to be lived through, and upheavel and loss and unfairness after the war that was very difficult. |
