New Orleans Mardi Gras
1914
REX:--------------------------------Mr. Crawford H. Ellis
DUKES: (include)--------------Mr. William Boatner Reily, Jr.
PAGES: (include)-------------W.P. Burke, Jr.
1917
DUKES: (include)-----------Mr. William P. Burke, Jr.
P.S. Don't forget to check out the "Queen of Comus" and it's association to
the Burke family line.
Anyone care to guess exactly how many times the names: Dunbar/Phelps/& Claverie
appear in association with REX?
How about the "Boston Club"? Of which, Mr. William P. Burke was of course also
a long standing member.
Perhaps we should discuss his "namesake" instead:
William P. Burke
19the Regiment
Louisiana Infantry
Confederate States of America
Enlisted: Camp Monroe, LA
Or, Perhaps we should discuss the close association of Mr. William P. Burke and
Mr. Hugh McCloskey, founder of Hibernia Bank.
Or perhaps, discussing Mr. McCloskey and his association with the REX
Organization as well as the "Boston Club" would be of benefit.
Or perhaps the fact that the law firm of Phelps/Dunbar/Marks/Claverie operated
out of the Hibernia Bank would be of interest.
Or the fact that the law firm (now named) Phelps/Dunbar, owns considerable
interest in Hibernia Bank would be of interest to some.
Or perhaps we should discuss the close association of Hibernia Bank with the
law firm of Phelps/Dunbar/Marks/Claverie.
Or perhaps we should discuss the close association of an attorney named Dunbar,
with the United Fruit Company.
Which by the way leads back to Crawford B. Ellis.
