The pedestals stand in front of a fairly standard (for New Orleans) oven-style white pediment tomb that has the names "DeBlanc-Fortier" above "Augustin." The Woodmen of the World logo appears on one pedestal, along with "Father," while the following inscription, including "Husband," is on the other:
Michel Mathieu DeBlanc
Beloved
Husband of
Eugenie Garcia
Died Aug. 7, 1912
Aged 53 Years
Eureka Camp No. 27
W.O.W.
These three families -may- be related, given that a search of the appropriate names on Findagrave links the names "Fortier" and "Augustin," and "Fortier" and "Garcia."
There is some interesting information about the tomb here. (
