1943: (Marguerite the Sylvains’ Young Cook — These Women Were Marguerite the Sylvains’ “Young Cook” Who Appears in the Half-Sentence of an Announcement That the “Whole House” Caught the Flu in 1943, Marguerite and the Sylvain Sisters Having First Introduced Themselves in the Foyer Entry Way of Their Home, Marguerite Likely Preparing Countless Meals for the LFAS Leadership Meetings at the Sylvain Home on Rue Christophe — Marguerite Likely from Nearby Poste Marchand or Bolosse or Perhaps from Farther North in Belair or LaSaline): These women were Marguerite, the Sylvains’ young cook, who appears in the half-sentence of an announcement that the whole house caught the flu in 1943. Marguerite and the Sylvain sisters would have first introduced themselves in the foyer (entryway) of their home. Marguerite likely prepared countless meals for the LFAS leadership meetings at the Sylvain home on Rue Christophe. She was likely from nearby Poste Marchand or Bolosse, or perhaps from farther north in Belair or LaSaline — the feminist movement’s deliberations were nourished by food that Marguerite prepared, but she appears in the archive only as a parenthetical, her name surfacing only because the flu did not distinguish between the women who owned the house and the woman who fed it.
