Little is known about Marie Salve Dissac. She married Francois Dissac and immigrated from France about 1872. Her husband was a shoemaker with a shop at 12 Dumaine Street in the 1870s and into the 1880s. We can find no record of his death in New Orleans, but he appears in the city directories as late as 1886. The directories also indicate that Mrs. Dissac took over her husband’s business in the early 1890s, although there is some evidence that she may have worked with him even before his death. She died in 1926, at the age of 83.
