In the late summer and early fall of 1873 a yellow fever epidemic occured in Shreveport, La., a flourishing town on the banks of Red River, in Caddo Parish , Northwestern La. On 6 Sept. 1873 David LeRosen (a widower) accompanied by his five small children, journeyed from Shreveport to claim Martha Rebecca Hendricks for his bride, she being his second wife. She resided in Bossier Parish La., a distance of approximately one day's journey. They were married on 7 Sept. 1873, the same day that Shreveport was placed under quarantine. As a result of the quarantine they were unable to return to Shreveport until about three months later. During his absence the large brick building of which he personally supervised the constuction at Market and Texas Street, was completely vacated, the tenants having died or evacutated Shreveport, thus making it impossible for him to meet the payments and resulting in the loss of his property. However, he overcame his reverses and prospered. To this union three children were born. These children, togeather with David's were reared by Martha, they loving her as if she were teir own mother. She saw that they were well educated, after which they entered the educational and professional field. David LeRosen was born in 1830 in Germany and died 8 July 1905 in Shreveport La., were he is buried.
