Very close to my grandmother Nanny, she was called Mara, because she was the godmother of Aunt Suzon and maybe of Mom. Robert Gervais (page 472), it seems an old friend of the Weill family who also knew Eugene Hausermann before his marriage with Nanny. Mara does not seem to have been healthy, perhaps died of tuberculosis (August 6, 1928, Cherbour)
The Gervais lived in Cherbourg with the frequent financial support of the Hausermanns, as Robert had little regular resources.

The oak cabinet in Lorrain is located at Mara's.
