Would you like to know more about Harry Lagasse and Anna Campbell? About Little Gerard on this picture taken around 1917?
This next picture was taken around 1916.
Harry and Harvey Lagasse, Mae Cox, Anna Campbell
1940…
Harry Lagasse becomes Harry Lagassey and is a carpenter by trade. His wife Anna Campbell is listed as Anna Lagassey.
Little Gerard is now 23 and he works as a Special Police at the New York World’s Fair.
Why am I telling you all this? Because someone once wrote a comment on this blog on October 19, 2010…
Hi Pierre
I am the first son of Gerard H Lagasse and would be glad to share info with you.
Thanks
Gerard
He never wrote back…
I probably scared him away…
As a footnote to all this, Harry and Anna had another son: Lawrence.
The 1940 Census transcript says Harry was living on Cranston Street.
I added a note on the census page saying that the street is Crosstown as it is written in the newspaper clipping about the accident.
