Ozella's birth year is estimated as 1875 in the Louisian Death Index.^[1] No primary record of her birth or parentage has been found. According to the Louisiana Death Index her parents were Justelin Devillier and Elizabeth Sharm^[1] (possibly Sherman or Sharmand^[2]). A marriage record exists for J. D. Devillier and Elizabeth Sherman, with a marriage date of 25 January 1876 in St. Landry Parish. A previous marriage record for Justillein Devillier and Emilice Labbe, dated 10 August 1869, was recorded in St. Landry Parish.^[3] Justilian and Elizabeth have not been found in the U.S. census for any year.

Ozella Devillier married Leo Naquin on 8 April 1896 in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana.^[4]

Ozella (Ozah) Naquin appears in the household of Leo (Leon) Naquin in 1900 Census, living in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana with two children and Leo's father Michael.^[5] Her birthdate is shown as October 1877.

Ozella passed away on 3 Feb 1917 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana.^[1] This date contradicts the date on the tombstone shown in her Find-A-Grave Memorial^[6] which is 5 February 1918.
