    Haas-Haas Wedding
    Haas-Haas Wedding
    W.D. Haas and Hattie Haas were first cousins, and it was legal for them to marry in Louisiana at that time. In 1900 the law was changed to forbid first cousin marriages. However, the law was declared unconstitutional (per the state constitution). It was re-worded and passed again in 1902.
    Oak Hall Plantation
    Oak Hall Plantation
    Oak Hall Plantation home was designed for W.D. and Hattie Haas by E. Burke Mason, a prominent New Orleans architect. This 1935 article was reprinted in Corinne Saucier's "The History of Avoyelles Parish", published in 1943. The article focuses on the garden and is riddled with historical inaccuracies, but why let facts get in the way of a good story?!

    W. D. Haas Homicide Arrest and Trial
    W. D. Haas Homicide Arrest and Trial
    W.D. Haas killed a business partner in Dec 1926. These are the articles surrounding the incident and subsequent trial. Haas son, W. David Haas, and son-in-law, Franklin T. Mikell, are also prominently featured in the trial.
    History and Destruction of Tiger Bend/Haasville Plantation Home
    History and Destruction of Tiger Bend/Haasville Plantation Home
    The Plantation House in Tiger Bend (alternatively called Eola and Haasville) appears to extend back to Roger Banks Marshall before the 1840s. Roger's son, T. Douglas Marshall, lived with his family there in the 1840s. After the Civil War, his daughter and son-in-law, Maccie and Alex Haas, lived in the house. When Alex and his second wife moved to New Orleans in the 1890s, Alex’s son, A. Marshall Haas and his family, lived in the home. By the 1910s the family only spent summers in the house and eventually it was abandoned and destroyed sometime in the 1970s.

    The name Northup referred to in this article was Solomon Northup, a free-born black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery and wrote the book “Twelve Years a Slave” which recounted his experience at various plantations in Avoyelles Parish before being freed in 1853.
