- E. H. Farrar, an attorney (b. 1849) was too young to fight in the Civil War (1861-1865). However, his father, Thomas Prince Farrar, was a captain in the Confederate Army and in 1878 Farrar married Lucinda Stamps, the grandniece of Confederate President Jefferson Davis and daughter of Isaac Davis Stamps, another captain in the Confederate Army.
- B. M. Palmer was a clergyman. At the historic First Presbyterian Church on Lafayette Square, “...the eloquent Dr. Benjamin Morgan Palmer had inveighed against the Yankee abolitionists on Thanksgiving Day, 1860, and fanned the spark of secessionism in New Orleans into a flame.” (Quoted from: Charles L. Dufour, Darwin Fenner: A Life of Service, New Orleans, Louisiana (privately published) p. 20, 1984.
