Des troyens à Paris au XIXème siècle

Des membres de la famille de Napoléon Ambroise Cottet ont habité pendant quelques décennies de 1860 à 1881 le 18ème arrondissement de Paris au pied de la butte du Sacré Coeur.
Sa fille Anna Charlotte habitait au 9 de la cité Véron à côté du Moulin Rouge avec son mari Louis Nicolas Gervais bonnetier, elle était institutrice et donnait des leçons à domicile. La première femme de Napoléon Ambroise Cottet, Elisabeth Morel, y est morte le 2 novembre 1875 selon la déclaration faite à l'état civil par son gendre et un bonnetier aubois Ernest Lebrun qui habitait à proximité 1, rue Burq ( boutique Petit-Bateau en 2011).

Anna Charlotte Cottet est décédée le 28 janvier 1881 au 2 rue Ramey, à l'âge de 47 ans. Elle exerçait alors la profession d'herboriste selon la déclaration faite par son mari et un autre bonnetier qui résidait rue d'Orsel dans le quartier du Marché Sain-Pierre.
Curieusement, il existe encore une vieille pharmacie herboristerie en cet endroit. L'herboristerie de M. André Zrbi.

Some relatives of Napoléon Ambroise Cottet had lived in Paris near Montmartre from 1860 to 1881.
His daughter Anna Charlotte lived 9, cité Véron, a small lane close to the Moulin Rouge, with her husband Louis Nicolas Gervais, hosiery worker. She was a teacher. The first wife of Napoléon Ambroise died in her appartment on the 2nd November 1875 as it was certified on the death register by her son-in-law and another hosiery worker living 1 rue Burq ( which is today the address of a "boutique Petit-Bateau" - hosiery products from Troyes).
Anna Charlotte Cottet died 28th January 1881, 2 rue Ramey, 47 years old. She was a herbalist according the declaration signed by her husband and another hosiery worker living rue d'Orsel in the quarter Marché Saint Pierre.
Today, there is a very old herbalist store 2 rue Ramey - a strangeness " Bizarre, bizarre" 'You've said bizarre my cousin".

Laurence Lafore, descendant d'un perruquier troyen

See previous post about the whig maker Amand Lafore.

Laurence David Lafore (born Laurence Davis Lafore, 1917, Narbeth, Pennsylvania-November 24, 1985, Iowa City, Iowa), an American historian.


Lafore was born into a wealthy family off the Main Line of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.



The Lafore family was a Huguenot family that fled France following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The family fled first to England and then to North America, landing in 1701.



The Lafores of Pennsylvania were relatively distinguished and Lafore followed his father and grandfather in leading a Philadelphia charity called the "Société des Bienfaisances Françaises," which was founded in the late 18th century to aid the aristocratic refugees fleeing the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution. It was the original intent of Marie Antoinette or her supporters that she would make her way to Philadelphia and build a new life there.



Lafore graduated from Swarthmore College and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.



One of Lafore's brothers, John A. Lafore, Jr., was a United States congressman from Pennsylvania and a president of the American Kennel Club.



World War II For short period during the post-war reconstruction period, Lafore worked for the American State Department in Paris, France. He later spoke of the contrast between the superficial luxury of the palace where they had their offices and the freezing conditions, which required personnel to wear overcoats indoors.


 Academic careerLafore joined the faculty at Swarthmore College in 1946 and taught there until 1969. In that year he joined the history faculty at the University of Iowa, where he taught until his retirement in May 1984.


 Publications
 HistoryWhile Lafore published informally in numerous outlets, including TV Guide, he is best known for three works of history: The Long Fuse (1965), about the origins of World War I; The End To Glory (1970), about the origins of World War II; and Days Of Emperor and Clown: The Italo-Ethiopian War, 1935-1936 (1973).



 Historic PreservationLafore's friendship with fellow Swarthmore professor Sarah Lee Lippincott resulted in their 1965 book Philadelphia: The Unexpected City. He later wrote the 1975 book American Classic about his adopted city of Iowa City, Iowa.
