    THIS STORY:
    Kate Townsend was a brothel madam during the late nineteenth century in the district of New Orleans that was later to become Storyville. This district became possibly the best known area for prostitution in the nation. Her luxurious brothel on Basin Street was the first of a number of upmarket brothels that the street became famed for.
    THIS CHANNEL:
    _________________________________________________________
    The Angel face you see is the Haserot, named “The Angel of Death Victorious". The stoic angel is seated on the marble gravestone of canning entrepreneur Francis Haserot and his family. Holding an extinguished torch upside-down, it represents a symbol of life extinguished. Wings are outstretched and the gaze is straight ahead.
    IN THE END, DEATH ALWAYS WINS. LEST THE FACES NOT BE FORGOTTEN...
    This channel is focused on casually walking and viewing a handful of the thousands of forgotten names and faces at various cemeteries near and afar. Seeing their faces up close. And when able, telling the stories behind their names.
    Most graves are unknown and lost to history.
    Some are famous.
    And some infamous....
    ....and some with tragic endings.

    I lived in New Orleans back in 1977 for about 6 months dancing in a travesty show with Frankie Cain, I loved it!!! New Orleans is such a fantastic, mysterious, and beautiful place and very wild has the most beautiful cemeteries and such rich history. Beautiful plantations I love the story about Marie Lavou Queen of voodoo
    This was a very interesting story this lady was a fatal attraction !!

Those were some wild days. I can't believe how the police handled that murder. Like the Keystone cops lol. Ron, you never cease to amaze me at your storytelling skills. I don't know how you keep all of these names, dates, and places straight. Nobody does it like you can. So, RIP to all involved including the abandoned twins wherever they may be ❤💐

    Good story! I had heard of her, back when I was researching Storyville. I didn't know she had a memorial in Metarie cemetery (gotta go try to find it someday!!) Kate actually predated Storyville. That wasn't enacted until 1897 and lasted until 1917 when the Army made the city close it down due to the soldiers coming over to see the women. Kat's place, at 39 Basin (now on Elk's Place, her house was made into an Elk's Lodge for a time), was just outside of the area designated for Storyville, which is between Iberville and St. Louis, Basin and S. Robertson (the street next to the cemetery St. Louis 2). Mansion Row was Basin between Iberville and St. Louis 1, on that side of the street only. Mahogany Hall, the "Octaroon Palace" of Lulu White, was at 235 Basin.

A lot of this trouble could have been avoided if Ol Ed would have left town and never looked back the first time she threatened to gut him. I know I wouldn't have hung around. She was definitely set on doing abdominal surgery on him. I wonder what ever happened to her twins?
