married sometime after that. We were told she married Victor Verret in New Orleans and had one girl by him. The little girl's name was thought to be Elizabeth, and she was only about 4 years old when her mother died. Lula is supposed to be buried in the Masonic Cemetery in New Orleans near her parents. Lula is well remembered for her pretty red hair, blue eyes, and early death. The old-timers still speak of her beauty. We also have “Elizabeth Verret” bom in New Orleans on February 16, 1904 naming both parents (NO., LA Public Birth Records). In the 1910 New Orleans census, we find “Eliza Verret,” age 6, living with her father, Victor Verret. Lula's daughter, Eliza, is believed to have become a nurse, married and lived around New Orleans.
X.	Elizabeth Arm “Lil” or “Liz” Riehlmann - most of the following information was given to us by her son, Frank E. Seitz, Jr. in an interview on April 23, 1973 in Florence, MS. He said his mother was bom on June 1, 1880 in Summit, MS. She was baptized in the Pisgah Presbyterian Church on August 13, 1882 (he has a record of it). Frank said his mother sometimes went to a Lutheran church, but usually went to Presbyterian ones. Lil died in Jackson, MS on May 3, 1962 and is buried in the Bogue Chitto Cemetery with a headstone. Lil lived in Summit, then Bogue Chitto for a few years, then to New Orleans with her parents. She went to the fourth grade in New Orleans, LA. Lil later took a trip to Norfield, MS, to visit her sister, Lena, and she met and married Frank Edward Seitz on September 5, 1906. After her marriage she lived in Norfield until 1919, then moved to Magnolia until about 1950, and finally moved to Jackson to live with her son Frank Jr. until her death. Lil was considered a very intelligent woman with a beautiful handwriting. She could embroidery very nice things. She and her husband owned and operated a grocery store in Norfield and Magnolia, MS. Frank, Jr. has some photographs of her and others. Lil had blue eyes and medium brown hair and was approximately 5 2” tall and heavy set. Lil and Frank Seitz had five children.
