    This formal portrait of Mms. Morlas and her daughters was taken around 1918 in New Orleans. Her husband and her four sons were not pictured.

    Only their sister Clothilde (Morlas) Bordes was missing. Since Clothilde had died in 1938, the photo was presumably taken after this date. It could very well have been taken at their 1951 reunion.

    Documents
    Morlas, Lucine (Roquevert) with daughters Elenora and Vivian, circa 1925
    Morlas, Lucine (Roquevert) with daughters Elenora and Vivian, circa 1925
    After purchasing a Hupmobile, Lucine and her youngest daughters, Elenora and Vivian, flew to Detroit as part of the nationwide "Sky-Road Parade and Million Dollar Driveaway" promotion. The Party of seven included another purchaser, Sam Dander, as well and the owners/managers of New Orleans United Motor Car Company, Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Johnson. The plane was piloted by John Worthen. The trip probably occured in 1925 or after, when the straight-eight model of Hupmobile was debuted.
