Mr. JENNER. You would forgive her, but she wouldn't, was that it?
Mr. JENNER. This propensity on her part not to forget, was that a source of irritation, and did that evidence itself in your avoiding controversy, and others in your family avoiding controversy, with her?
Mr. JENNER. All right. Now, coming to later years, was there any change? Did you avoid any difference of opinion with her, or anything that you can recall of that nature?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, in later years, whatever dissensions we had or whatever it was that we would have a controversy over, she would just go off, and she wouldn't write or anything, and we wouldn't hear from her, and so forth, you know, until something turned up where she probably needed assistance or a place to stay, or she was coming to New Orleans and for us to put her up and everything. I never did hold anything in, you know what I mean, things like that.
Mr. JENNER. The remainder of your family, your other brothers and sisters, I think they remained in and about the New Orleans area; is that right?
Mr. JENNER. Well, they all remained in and about New Orleans except for your sister Aminthe; isn't that right?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; she moved. She married and moved to Knoxville.
Mr. JENNER. But the rest of your family stayed here in the New Orleans area?
Mrs. MURRET. Well, my brother stayed. They were very young, and of course long before I was married, they died, so there wasn't really anyone left, you know, except Marguerite and I. She lived with me when I first got married, she stayed with me then.
Mr. JENNER. Marguerite lived with you during your marriage?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; my father and my husband and myself, we all stayed together.
Mr. JENNER. You and your husband and your father and your sister Marguerite stayed together?
Mrs. MURRET. Yes; we lived on Esplanade and Roman.
Mr. JENNER. What is the business or occupation of your husband?
Mrs. MURRET. He's a clerk for, well, he works for different companies, but mostly for Mr. Jackson. He works at different wharves, in other words.
Mrs. MURRET. At different wharves on the riverfront. You see, he doesn't belong to a union so, therefore, he doesn't stay at one wharf. He transfers to where they have work, and sometimes if one don't have work, he will work for someone else.
