Halter Land

During our recent trip to New Orleans, S & I took a walk through the Bywater & Faubourg-Marigny areas of the city, and located the land owned by Frank Halter in 1842. The plot is on the corner of Bartholomew & Rampart streets (also bounded by Burgundy & Mazant). The land later passed to his son John Halter. We went looking for a headstone for John Halter in St. Vincent de Paul Cemetery #1, also in the hopes of locating a grave for Frank and wife Mary. Unfortunately, we didn't find them, but we did find the Tudurys and a headstone for the family of H. Fellrath, which I think should belong to Sophia Halter and Hubert Fellrath.
