Marcellus Bellande (1843-1905) was the first child born to Joseph H. Bellande (1813-1907), a French immigrant seaman from Marseille, France who arrived at Ocean Springs, Mississippi in the early 1830s, and Rosaline LaFauce (1821-1893), the daughter of Jacques LaFauce and Marie Eveline LaFontaine. Rosaline's grandmother, Catherine Bourgeios LaFontaine, called the Widow LaFontaine, at one time possessed all of what is referred to today as Old Ocean Springs.
Marcellus enlisted in the Confederate Army at the age of 19 years. According to the book, Louisiana Confederate Soldiers and Confederate Commands, compiled in 1920 by Andrew B. Booth, he was a Private with Company D, 4th Louisiana Infantry. Marcellus enlisted on October 22, 1863, in Mobile, Alabama, when his youngest sister, Zoe Bellande, was just a few months old. Nine months later, he was captured near Atlanta, Georgia on August 5, 1864. He was sent to military prison in Camp Chase, Ohio, and remained there for nine months, being paroled May 2, 1865. He was exchanged for a Union prisoner and moved to New Orleans.
Marcellus married Rosina Ludwig (1839-1925), a German immigrant and the widow of Jean-Marie Begue (1814-1878), in October 1885, and resided at 822 Ninth Street, New Orleans. They had no children. Marcellus Bellande expired at New Orleans on June 2, 1905. His wife Rosina lived at NOLA until her demise on April 3, 1925.
