Unfortunately, I don't know much about Earlene. She was a daughter of Rosena Lelia Lincecum/Linscomb and Ray Manuel Alston (d. 1933) and seems to have never married. Earlene spent most, if not all, of her life in the neighboring parishes of Avoyelles and Rapides in central Louisiana.
Here's a clipping of her death notice in the 20 November 1979 Town Talk of Alexandria, Louisiana.
📚 BOOK #AD -- Creole: The History and Legacy of Louisiana's Free People of Color -- "Of European, African, or Caribbean mixed descent, they are a people of color and Francophone dialect native to south Louisiana; and though their history dates from the late 1600s, they have been sorely neglected in the literature."
