The "New Orleans States" (Oct. 12, 1950):

"Anne Hatfield reports that she has a copy of the old folk tune, 'The Creole Girl of Lac El Pontchartrain' which she learned from a singer of ancient folk tunes in Carrollton, Miss."

Google turns up no other examples, in any context, of the odd name "Lac El Pontchartrain"
