Hi Donna,
I think these are the folks you are hunting....
Minerva Carnahan md Thomas Coutie - 22 Feb 1887 Natchitoches Parish, La

Wheeler - son - 5/12 - s - La
Brosset, Lisa - mother-in-law - 65 - wd - La-La-La
Note: the age for Thomas has to be wrong here. Am not sure where that Thomas, age 19
came from as he isn't listed in the 1900 census. AND... it appears that Minerva's
mother had another marriage.
And then the 1920 census is a bit interesting giving that d. date for Thomas of 1933:

Couty, Manerva - head - 50 - wd - La-La-La

Bessie - daughter - 7 - s - La

Hope this helps a bit.
