    • According to the Tenette Family History, Emile was the first of his siblings to reach manhood. Being the eldest surving child, he cared for his younger brothers and sister. In 1910 census, he is shown as head of a household that included his wife and their three children, his brothers Joseph and Louis, his sister Marie Clotile and his aunt Annette Valsin Tenette.

      Emile was a cigar maker for most of his life, but he also sold insurance. He was interested in cooking and established a restaurant on North Claiborne Avenue between Governor Nicholls and Ursuline streets with a partner named Montegut. [9, 18, 24]
