From St. Louis webpage- copied for informational purposes only- Phillip Shay was living in Carondelet in 1850, shown in the household of Louis Picot as an orphan.

Carondelet in 1850

By 1849, several of the town's prominent citizens had arrived including Henry T. Blow, Wilson Primm, Roswell Field, Louis Picot and Alexander Lyle. The census of 1850 showed Carondelet to have a population of 1,265, of whom 28 were classed as slaves. At that time Broadway did not run directly north of Elwood Street because of a steep hill, traffic was forced to go westward for a block before proceeding to the north. Southeast of Elwood and Broadway were about half a dozen houses, the easternmost being the old DeLore house built by the town's founder. Before 1860 it was razed to make way for the Iron Mountain Railroad. At Bowen Street and Broadway was the town hall and its meeting tree and on the west were a few houses north of the hill. . Carondelet was growing rapidly as young men like Louis G. Picot moved in and built homes. Picot's home located southeast of the Sisters of Saint Joesph was a small castle with a four story tower.

This hill, which had the church and convent at its top, extended eastward toward the river, forcing traffic on Broadway to make an easterly detour. This part of the hill was graded down to provide fill for construction of the railroad. Also on the hill, south of Holly Hills and east of Pennsylvania, stood the castle of Louis Picot with its high tower providing a landmark for river men. The house was abandoned and razed after the Civil War. Further south on Broadway, at its southwest corner of Haven Street, was a three story building with a meeting hall on its top floor. Residences were scattered southwardly on Pennsylvania Avenue and Broadway, with stores also located on the latter's frontage.

Castle builder Picot fled to Canada to avoid giving a loyalty oath to the Union. Union forces then seized a hotel he was building in Saint Louis, and tried to seize the castle two months later. Henry T. Blow interceded on Picot's wife's behalf however, and she was allowed to stay. Primus Emerson of Carondelet Marine Railway went to Memphis where he built the ironclad the Arkansas for the Confederate navy. He returned to Carondelet to operate the Carondelet Marine Railway and Dock Company. It went on to build five riverboats, but then burned in May, 1866.

In this area were the stone houses built by the German immigrant settlers in the 1840's. Largest house in the southern end of the town in 1850 was that of Delphi Carlin, it was located on the south side of Davis Street a block east of Broadway. A desirable location for large homes was "upon the hill" along Michigan Avenue, where, near Iron Street was the home of Judge Primm. Nearby was the home of Bernhard Poepping, last Mayor of Carondelet. In wooded country near the present intersection of Virginia and Haven was the Henry T. Blow mansion and to its west was the Alexander Lyle home, in what is now Carondelet Park.

As Carondelet's population was entirely Catholic for many years after its founding, the first attempts toward education were made by that faith. After the first parish was founded in 1824, a parochial school was established in due course. It had been continued until recently and occupied a building erected in 1926, adjacent to the Church of St. Mary and Joseph. Other parochial schools were those of St. Boniface, founded in 1860, and now occupying a building built in 1949, and St. Columbkille founded in 1872, and closed with abandonment of the parish in 1952.

The girl's school at the Convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph began in 1836 and was supported after 1839 by public funds for teachers' salaries. This method continued until public schools were instituted following incorporation as a city in 1851.

After incorporation of Carondelet as a town in 1832, rather makeshift arrangements were made for public education. The trustees authorized payment for children attending private schools and later tried to establish public schools. Records from 1841 show employment of a teacher for three months at a salary of $87.50

[Phillip- at the age of 8 years, won a book in school for knowing the multiplications for which he received a book, " Hopes and Helps for the Young"].,
