Harry's New Orleans Voter Registration

 

FamilySearch, Louisiana Voter Registration, 1906.

Well this is quite the find. I knew that my great-grandfather Harry E. O'Brien had moved to New Orleans to play music and attend Soule Business College. I wasn't entirely sure when he arrived in the city. This new-to-me record puts an earlier date on his arrival. According to his voter registration, Harry arrived in 1902, at the young age of 18, straight out of high school, but other records I've seen show him still in Illinois in 1903. This document also shows his address as 708 Carondelet, the boarding house owned by the mother of his first wife, Marguerite Barba.
