There exists so many items of historical significance related to New Orleans, LA, Dallas, TX, and LHO's associations, that the most simple manner to list each is under a common heading.

Therefore, this Topic Title will be utilized to post much of this information which also has bearing on other topics of discussion.
____________________________________________________________________


1. Attention, Pioneers of Dallas, Co.

All membes of our association who can, are requested to assemble at 9:30 a.m. to-morrow (October 25) at the Live Oak Grocery, 949 Elm Street, to attend in a body, the funeral of our lamented brother, Maxime Guillot.

October 24, 1889, Dallas Times Herald, page 4, Column 4

____________________________________________________________________

Under the LHO topic, information relative to LHO & his cousin PGT Beauregard was provided.
This kinship came about as a result of the marriage of "Bella" Claverie to a member of the Beauregard family.

What was not said was that this was the second marriage for Bella Clavarie.

2. Bella Clavarie
Father: Bertrand Clavarie
Mother: Clara Bordelon
Marriage (1): Joseph Edward Constance
Children: Joseph Gaston Constance

Joseph Gaston Constance Married Elizabeth Media Guillot, of the Avoylles Parish, LA families of Guillot.


Therefore, LHO also had a distant cousin who was married into the Guillot family.

Please forgive the manner in which this frequently jumps around. These items are being presented mostly as they come from my boxes full of research papers.

Those who have truely researched the JFK assassination should easily make the connections. If not, just ask.

3. Max Clark/DeMohrenschildt/the Oswald family

WC Testimony of Max Clark

Mr. Liebeler: Would you state your full name please.
Mr. Clark: Max Clark
Mr. Liebeler: You are an attorney?
Mr. Clark: Yes
Mr. Liebeler: A member of the Bar of Texas
Mr. Clark: Yes
Mr. Liebeler: Any other State?
Mr. Clark: No, I am licensed to practice in the Federal courts and American Bar Association.


Max Clark was intervieewed by the FBI after the assassination. He was on a first name basis with the Fort Worth FBI agent who interviewed him (Earl Haley, 8 H 349). This may be because, along with having been a security officer for the Convair Division of General Dynamics (8 H 352), he was, according to one witness, connected with the FBI (9H 235).


WC Testimony of George DeMohrenschildt

Mr. Jenner: The Clarks?
Mr. DeMohrenschildt: I know them very well
Mr. Jenner: Max Clark
Mr. DeMohrenschildt: Yes, Max and his wife Gall.

Assuming that everyone is familiar with Chamberlain/Hunt Academy and the fact that LHO & Brothers spent some time there, all research into this school is well worth the effort.

The death of Joseph Jones of Tulane, as provided earlier, certainly was nothing new for the South.

Jeremiah Chamberlain, co-founder of the Presbyterian Chamberlain/Hunt academy was also assassinated in the front of his home due to his anti-slavery philosophy.

Since there will be considerable discussion on Chamberlain/Hunt Academy later on, research into it's history is well worthwhile.

New Orleans Times Picayune, Dec 8, 1980

Burke Rites are Tuesday

William P. Burke, retired Central Intelligence Agency officer, died Sunday (7th) at Touro Infirmiary after a brief illness. He was 80.

A native of New Orleans, Mr. Burke was regional director of overt activities in the southeastern states for the Central Intelligence Group, a predecessor of the CIA.

A position he held after World War II until his retirement in 1962.


He was educated at ----------Tulane Law School.

He was admitted to the Louisiana and Federal Bars in 1925 and practiced law in New Orleans until 1943, when he volunteered for the Marine Corps. He served in the Pacific Theater of Operations with the Fourth Marine Division and obtained the rank of lieutenant colonel.

My note: There are 121 Louisiana Confederate soldiers with the last name "Burke"

\
Director of the Central Intelligence Group.

Although not a native New Orlean or Louisiana native, Mr. Souers spend a considerable amount of time there.

When looking and reading on the topic of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy, one should not overlook those persons who were captured with him and who also spent time imprisoned.

One of these persons was Francis R. Lubbock, former Governor to the State of Texas, who returned to Texas after the end of the war.

Another person captured with Jefferson Davis was John Henniger Reagan, Postmaster General of the Confederacy and acting Secretary of the Treasury at the end of the war.

After release from prison, John Henniger Reagan also moved to Texas and later became a United States Senator. (1887-1891)

In order to assist in his Career Development, John Henniger Reagan was the recepient of an "Honarary Degree" which was bestowed upon him by Tulane University of New Orleans, LA.

And, not unlike any good "Son of the South", John Henniger Reagan named his frist born son "Jefferson Davis Reagan".

Thereafter, Jefferson Davis Reagan had a daughter, Ruby Taylor Regan, who married Thomas Soule, Jr.

Those not familiar with the "Soule" name should research the history of New Orleans.

http://www.smokykin.com/ged/f000/f07/a0000743.htm

The links at www.tulanelink.com provides a great deal of interesting reading. The CIA sponsored mind control experiments in the '50s for example.

And, not unlike the "Beale Code", if one knows which names to search for, it just may provide the key to the "treasure".

Whatever the case, we are most assuredly speaking of New Orleans MONEY!

Another significant death at the Touro Infirmary was that of General Claire L. Chennalt, founder of the AVG/Flying Tigers of WWII/China fame.

General Chennault, who had resided in Louisiana for a number of years, died on July 27, 1958 in New Orleans.

"Before I left the United States in the summer of 1941, I asked a few friends in Louisiana to watch the newspapers and send me any clippings about the A.V.G." (Flying Tigers)

Claire L. Chennault

So What??????????????????????????????????????????????

Therein lies a portion of one of the direct connections of William Pawley to Louisiana.

For those who may not have studied the history, the AVG/Flying Tigers, although commanded by Claire Chennault, this fighter pilot group was entirely dependent upon the Central Aircraft Manufacturing Company (CAM Co.), who's President was William D. Pawley.

The "Pawley" connection to the JFK assassination is a mire and mirage of smoke and mirrors.

Leander Perez:

New Orleans Political Leader and direct supporter of the Louisiana States Right Party.

Leander Perez was highly involved in the plan/decision to invite General Walker to come to New Orleans and give a speech during the period in which JFK was to be in Dallas, TX.

Walker met privately with Perez on November 20, 1963 at Perez's office, and on November 21, met with over 30 conservative leaders of New Orleans at the Jung Hotel.

One relatively good article on General Randall Lee Gibson.
With his "University of Louisiana" education and aid-de-camp to the Governor of LA experience, as well as Law Practice, it is not difficult to see why he became the first head of Tulane.

Also referenced is the quite famous "Washington Artillery" of Louisiana which had it's own building in New Orleans after the war.

The Krewe of "REX"!

There are a variety of locations in which one will find the names of those of New Orleans who were of the prestige, power, and money.

The "Krewe of REX" is one of the primary locations, and REX is always "King" of Mardi Gras in New Orleans

It is also noteworthy that Mildred Lee, Daughter of Confederate General Robert E. Lee was the first "Queen" of the New Orleans Mardi Gras.

In 1883, Winnie Davis, daughter of Confederate President Jefferson Davis, was "Queen" of the New Orleans Mardi Gras.

Although one will not find the name "Oswald" associated with REX.

The name "Claverie" is most certainly found, as is the names of many others who had direct connections to the Claverie family.

"In January, 1960, Cuba expropriates 70,000 acres of land held by U.S. sugar companies, who refused to sell the land at any price."

"This land includes 35,000 acres held by the powerful United Fruit Co., which had attained over 270,000 acres of Cuban land at the time."


http://www.marxist.org/history/cuba/subject/bay-of-pigs/


Anyone who has not studied the United Fruit Company, should certainly do so.

Especially since there is a direct link-in-the-chain from United Fruit to Lee Harvey Oswald.

Annie Hahr Dobbs (Pawley)
Married: William Douglas Pawley
Location: Port-au-Prince, Haiti, July 25, 1919
Moved to Havana, Cuba in 1928
Later moved to Shanghai, China.

Ms. Annie Hahr Dobbs attended Sophie Newcomb College for Women in New Orleans, LA.

Which, is a portion of Tulane University.

"Three generations of Queens of Comus; Mrs. William Burke; Miss Larrousine; Miss Burke"

http://nutrias.org/~noplguides/foc/cabildo.htm


It would appear that history has moved from the Daughters of General Robert E. Lee and Confederate President Jefferson Davis, to the ultimate wife and thereafter the daughter of William Burke.

Director of Overt Operations, Central Intelligence Group.

Reily Coffee Company!

May as well check out this GOOD Southern family.

http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/la/e-...bios/reily.text

Particular attention should be given to:

1. Clinton, LA
2. Marriage to Estelle Weaks, Daughter of Confederate Colonel James Weaks.
3. Tulane
4. Newcomb College


And:

The "Boatner" family from which the William Boatner Reily name comes, were also of Confederate Army heritage.

There were other members of the Oswald family employed at Reily Coffee Company.

Not the kind of family business that would normally employ "Marxist"/Soviet defectors.

Lastly, one just may want to check out the Board of Tulane as well as the varioius years of REX.
The Reily name appears right along with many other names to ultimately follow.

is this Thomas Soule related to Henri Soule?

"ìIn 1958, three of the men who worked for Henri Soule found another place on 55th Street which had been a speakeasy during Prohibition and decided to open an elegant bistro.

Creating the restaurant was intimidating. The three men were coming from Mr. Soule who set the standards. But just before they opened, there was some kind of argument between Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy and Henri Soule. Kennedy came to one of the owners and said, ìFreddy, you open your place, weíll be there on the first day.î And when the restaurant opened on September 21, 1960, the Kennedys were there. They backed La Caravelle morally and financially.

Less than two months after La Caravelle opened, John F. Kennedy became president. The timing was terrific. He and Jackie came to La Caravelle often. It became the favored place.

After La Caravelle, La Grenouille followed in 62 and Lutece in 63. The 1960ís was a French culinary invasion. La Caravelle was the first restaurant that bridged out from Le Pavilion. But everything came from Henri Soule."

How many "Oswald's" can one company hire????


W.S. Oswald (Jr.) was the son of William S. Oswald, brother of LHO's father.

The Julian Oswald has yet to be identified.

http:www.jfk-online.com/billings5.html

This Oswald information regarding the Uncle is also found on the employment application of LHO with Reily Coffee Company.

William P (Perry) Burke

Father: Honorable Walter James Burke, Membeer of the LA State Senate from 1912 until 1916. Graduate of Tulane University

Mother: Miss. Bertha Perry. Daughter of Judge Robert S. Perry, former 1Lt in Company "C", Eighty Louisiana Regiment, Confederate States of America, and LA State Senator from 1879 until 1884.

Uncle: William R. Burke: Sergeant, Company "D", Eighth Louisiana Infantry.

REX: February 24, 1914

Dukes: Mr. William Boatner Reily, Jr.

Pages: W. P. Burke Jr.

Chamberlain Hunt Academy fell under the direction of the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

Admission to this school was, and continues to be primarily for those who are of the Presbyterian faith.
This school is not inexpensive, and under most circumstances, even those of the Presbyterian faith must be recommended by their Minister, etc; for admission.

For a "non-Presbyterian" to obtain admission to this school would requre someone of considerable influence and association with the Presbyterian Church of the South to act on their behalf.
This would be true for admission of only one child.
Admission of multiple children/siblings is extremely unusual in the history of the school.

Those who are familiar with the actions of LHO are no doubt aware that he was found to have kept a small notebook in which many scribbled notations; names; telephone numbers; etc; were kept.

Of those names included in the notebook was the name "Howell" which has been previously discussed.

Knowing of Varina Howell Davis and her family line, from the Howell family of Mississippi, to include family members who moved to New Orleans after the Civil War, this family name caught my attention.

More so than it would most, as I am descended from the Mississippi family of "Howell" on my mothers side of the family.
My Grandmother was what we refer to as a "purebred" Howell, considering that her father and mother (my great-grandfather & great-grandmother) were both named Howell and were in fact full first cousins.

Note: There are 240 listings of the name "Howell" for Mississippi soldiers in the Confederate Army.
There are also 78 listings of the name "Howell" for Louisiana soldiers in the Confederate Army.

Also having recognized the family name "Harvey" in LHO's name quite early, I was also somewhat aware of this Southern family line. Especially since my middle name is also Harvey, having been named after my father, who's name was also Harvey, etc;

Note: There are 57 listings of the name "Harvey" for Louisiana soldiers in the Confederate Army.
There are also 61 listings of the name "Harvey" for Alabama soldiers in the Confederate Army.

Then, in review of the notebook of LHO, one will find the name "Purvis" as well!

Certainly also a good "Southern" name!

As in Purvis, Mississippi which is just North of New Orleans, LA.
