Aunt "Lolo" was my mother's oldest sister and the oldest child of Henry Cagnolatti and his wife Elouise Poree. She was born December 23, 1896. Mother use to always tell us that she was so small when she was born that they could put her in a shoe box. I think that she was probably premature because was born just seven and one half months after her parents wed on May 14, 1896. Eugenia Poree and her mother's sister lived a few doors from the Cagnolatti's. She was Aunt "Lolo's" godmother and I am told that she raised her.

Lolo was a seamstress as was her mother and aunts. My earliest memory of her centers on some little navy and white dotted-swiss dress that she either made or altered for my sister Diane and I when we were very little girls. The dresses were mailed back and forward between her home in New Orleans and ours in Los Angeles. Even with the distance between them, my mother and her sister, Lolo, remained very close.

Eugenie married Arthur Henderson late in life. Her precious godchild, Lolo, followers suit and didn't marry until she was fifty years old. She married Ed Joseph who became a very attentive husband.

I remember them visiting Los Angeles on their honeymoon. Ed owned a cleaners in New Orleans and they lived in an apartment above it. In 1959 when my mother took in all four of her daughters to New Orleans on vacation we stayed a week with them. They took us craw fishing and to parties; we had a great time.

Aunt Lolo's most outstanding feature was her striking greenish gray eyes. Her goddaughter, which is my sister Diane, has the the same eyes. Aunt Lolo was a very religious person and she was very kind.
