QRYTEXT: Seeking information on John Levin Knox CONNELLA, born abt 1840. His
wife, Jessie Bruce Edgar CONNELLA, is buried in Old Rapides Cemetery along
with one of his sons, Walter Scott Connella, and two of his daughters,
Louise Connella and Maud Connella WRIGHT. No sign of JL's grave. We are
seeking specifics as to the year of his death, whether he still lived near
Alexandria at the time of his death, and most importantly, where he might be
buried. He lived many years in Ouachita Parish, but moved to Rapides Parish
(lived on the Red River). He was living in Caldwell Parish (Columbia) at the
time of Jessie's death in 1901, and reportedly moved back to Alexandria a
few years later. He was still living there by 1915 when his brother, Charles
Allison Connella, was murdered in Ouachita Parish (West Monroe). Thanks for
any help!
