10. Delmas Roman Ladner - he was born in 1868 as found in the 1880 Hancock census. His headstone in Alphonse Mailey cemetery in Fenton, Mississippi, said he was born on January 1, 1868, and died on May 26, 1941. He married Mary Aurelia Peterson on December 17, 1885, and lived near Dedeaux in Harrison County. They had: Roman G., Adolph J. “Dolph,” Alzelia Marie, Joseph “Collin,” Eunice, Philippe, Orlidge, Culver Francis, Elisa, and Francis John “Felix.” 11. Emma Elizabeth “M” Ladner - she was bom on September 26, 1868, as found in the Our Lady of the Gulf Church records. She married Anthony “Dago” Netto, on May 20, 1889, in Harrison County and lived near DeLisle, Mississippi. They had: Julius Gabrielle, Louis Leander, Clarisse L., Rodney Istro, and Lugenia. 12. Josephine Magnolia Ladner - she was bom on December 5, 1870, as found in the Our Lady of the Gulf Church records. She married Jules Emile LeGrand on October 12, 1889, as found in Annunciation Catholic Church records in Kiln, Mississippi. They lived in Bay St. Louis and had: Emile Joseph, Mary Azaline, Julia, and Aileen Rose. C. Levander “Lev” Cameron - he was bom in 1830 according to the 1860 Marion County, Mississippi census. He is also listed in the 1850 census of Hancock County, Mississippi, living with his brother-in-law, Henry Deschamp. Levander married Nancy Odom in Hancock County on June 18, 1854, (record in that Court House). In the 1860 Marion County census, he is listed with a wife and two children: “Jesse (1856) and Mellissy (1859) Cameron.” Mr. George Cameron told us that Lev had at least one other son called, Alexander or “Alex” Cameron and that both Alex and Jesse were partly retarded and were “ho-bos” in the Marion County area until they died in the 1920’s or 30’s. Many older people remember these two characters. Levander joined the Confederacy on August 10, 1861, at Columbia, Mississippi with the 7th Mississippi Infantry, Company. George Cameron told us Levander was fighting in the battle of Atlanta, Georgia, when his nephew, William Green, was killed. The Green Family Bible lists William as “Shot at the battle of Atlanta in 1863.” They were marching on the city when William got hit, and he screamed “Help me Uncle Lev,” as he fell. The battle was so intense that Lev could not stop to help his own nephew. Civil War records show Levander Cameron was “stricken from the rolls on February 20, 1863 ” We have found no other records on him after that date and assume Levander was lost in battle, or deserted and never came home. D. Delila Mary “Lila” Cameron - Jerry’s grandmother, Pauline Heitzmann, told us she visited this lady, her aunt, when she was around 10 years old. She could not remember much about Delila because of her (Pauline) young age, and they lived in rural Harrison County, somewhere north of Gulfport. She 21
