Notes
Dawn Gonzales, granddaughter to Una, tells me that Una and her sister Fannie were on stage as chorus girls when Una was about 12-13 years old. Their Uncle Charlie Cormier had a Vaudeville act in New Orleans. She thinks she has a picture, which I will upload here if she can find it.
Later in life, Una was a nightclub singer and a horsewoman.
