| Dennis | Elias S. | “Madison Parish, LA. Judge” Elias S. Dennis was an interesting character. Stepfather of the notorious western gunslinger, Jack Slade, Dennis was a Union General during the Civil War and was in charge of the Milliken’s Bend area of Madison Parish at the time of the Siege of Vicksburg and the Battle of Milliken’s Bend. At one point he was accused of selling provisions to the rebels while his men were on half-rations. This was never proved. After the war he returned to Madison Parish rather than his native Illinois, married a local widow (though still married to a lady in Illinois) and became a Police Juror (Parish Judge) and later Sheriff.

He later came to the Unites States and served the Union during the Civil War where he organized a volunteer regiment in New York City. According to Peter Gill (in January 2002), a great great grandson living in Sydney, Australia, this particular lecture was probably on Shakespeare. Siddons, whose real name was Stocqueler, apparently was quite a charlatan, and was described by one writer as “... one of those shabby and shadowy, if not actually shady, persons whom one repeatedly encounters by accident in the now obscure byways and alleys of Victorian London...” | Chap. 4 VMI 1877 | 36 | |

| Tourtarel | Ada | The 1890 New Orleans City Directory
lists an Ada (widow of John) and in 1891 a William Tourtarel at 190 Annunciation Street. Annunciation currently runs into Tchoupitoulas Street at about the 1000 block, so there is no 190 Annunciation, which would have been on Tchoupitoulas two blocks south of Canal. It is possible that in 1890 Annunciation’s numbering started at its beginning, i.e. its intersection with Tchoupitoulas or it could have continued to Canal very close to Tchoupitoulas. However, maps don’t show this. In any event a spot nearer Canal would have been the more likely location of R. K. Boney’s boarding house. |
