Southwest Louisiana Biographical & Historical By Wm. Henry Perrin Printed in 1891 and reprinted in 1971 Many of you are familiar with this book. It has so much information about the people and towns in our area. However, like all printed works, it is riddled with typographical errors, particularly on page 249 of the section on Vermilion Parish. I’d like to correct the errors on that page, based on my extensive research. Let’s start with the “Present Council.” I’ll underline the corrections. James A. Petty, Ophelias Bourque, E. A. Mazerolle, Dr. C. J. Edwards, and J. J. Abadie, secretary; Euphemon LeBlanc town Marshal. The mayor, J. O. Lege, was not even listed. Let’s move on to the “Business Directory,” also on page 249. Joseph T. Labit, Ulyssee Abadie, Ophelias Bourque, Miss Lorenzo Blanc, Heirs of David Beer, Jean Boyance, J. M. Beauxis, W.H.

Mills, Felix Romero, Trahan & Romero, Louis Thibeaux, Louis Leotaud, A. Mouton, F. L. Melebeck, Geo. W. Caldwell (although a brick manufacturer and brick mason, he also had a grocery store at this time.) A. Laborde, George Schells (?), J. A. Brookshier (so spelled at that time), Solomon Wise, E.G. Lemaire, P. D. Dupuy, Lege & Guydoy (more probable that it was Lege & Gueydan, although I’m not familiar with that company. It is how Gueydan is misspelled on the last line on that page), Madam Abadie, Sylvanie Prejean, Eraste Mouton, Ernest Trahan, and Aymar Bourque. Now, on to Perry’s Bridge, still on page 249. Dr. J. T. Hamblet, and the only other misprint of which I’m certain is Martin and Timothy Bagley. Again, on the last line of the page, the name should be J. P. Gueydan. On the top of page 250, it should read Frank Winston. On page 251, “The Press:” The Independent is mentioned in the Planters’ Banner as early as 1849, so it was started long before 1852. The Meridional was sold in 1879 to E. I. Addison. Mrs. Ursule Guegnon, wife of Eugene Guegnon, died in 1878, so she couldn’t have sold it in 1879, as stated. Do errors such as these exist in the other chapters? Probably so, but I’m most familiar with Vermilion Parish.

Two related items, presumable about the same individual. They come from the Franklin Planters' Banner. 2-14-1852 "Died Saturday the 31st. Carroll M. Vinson, infant son of Carroll M. and Elenor Vinson, eight days old." Attached to this notice is the following poem. "Mother, though thy babe is taken, Jesus bears it in his breast; He will see 'tis not forsaken; Safe, your darling is at rest. Courage, then, in Jesus trusting, You shall meet again, above; There, with songs of joy outbursting, Share together in his love." Aren't these poetry lines beautiful and full of faith? The next item has to do with the schedule of a stage route, and was put in the paper by the mail contractor. 5-8-1852 "Mail Stage Arrangement" "The mail stage leaves Donaldsonville Monday, Thursday, and Saturday morning at 7 o'clock. It arrives at Opelousas on evenings of Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday at 7 o'clock. Leaves Opelousas on mornings of Monday Thursday and Saturday at 5 o'clock. Arrives at Donaldsonville on evenings of Tuesday, Friday and Sunday at 4 o'clock. (signed) Carroll M. Vinson" Is this the same Carroll Vinson whose child died in January? I believe that it is. Remember that passengers took these stages, so we can just picture them being jostled and coated with dust on those long trips along unimproved dirt roads. Get out your maps to locate these towns and to determine the distance between them. Ken Dupuy

Former teacher explores cemeteries for genealogy site Belford Carver knows where the bodies are buried in Tangipahoa Parish. By CRAIG MALISOW, Daily Star Staff Writer October 11, 2000 Belford Carver knows where the bodies are buried in Tangipahoa Parish. Armed with a tape recorder and a deep curiosity of genealogy, the retired Southeastern Louisiana University business professor has crisscrossed the parish to gather tombstone information for the WorldGenWeb Project. Launched in 1996, the project includes genealogical information from nearly every country in the world. Carver and nearly 200 other volunteers throughout Louisiana have sent data to parish and state archive managers who file parish-specific historical information online. Although Carver's niche is headstones, other archival records include military, census and church records, obituaries and records of slave trades. After logging on, interested viewers can tap resources from any parish in the state, as well as national and international historical records. "There's a lot of interest in genealogy today," Carver said. "And it's very helpful when you have something handy in a library or on a computer. It is a very helpful reference source." Although more than 200 parish cemeteries have been logged so far, Carver said there are many more to record. Therefore, volunteers are always welcome. "I just enjoy cemeteries," volunteer Doris Hoover Johnston said. "You can just think about these people and all this past and all this history." Johnston, the secretary of Bedico's Stanga Cemetery Board, first became interested in genealogy 30 years ago when she helped plan a 50th wedding anniversary for an aunt. She pitched in for a family tree book and became so interested in tracing her roots that she enrolled in a genealogy class at Louisiana State University. Carver and Johnston shared a genealogical influence in the late Ronald Evans of Independence, who recorded a lot of cemetery information from the mid-1970s until his death in 1998. Evans was compiling a third volume of historical data when he died, Carver said. That information provided a lot of the online material. "I just felt like some of this stuff was sitting in a closet and filing cabinets and ... going to waste," Carver said. "I'm really glad to have it done," Polly Evans said of the GenWeb project. Volunteer Don Johnson of Hungarian Settlement is glad to have the information online as well. He has been interested in genealogy since the 1960s, when he started tracing his family's roots to follow the path of a genetic disorder he suffers from. Johnson is now the archive file manager for St. Helena Parish. Because the state of Louisiana did not issue birth or death certificates prior to 1916, biographical information from sources such as tombstones is especially vital, he said. "The idea is to protect the record ... because sometimes that's the only record available, that's on the tombstone," he said. Although volunteers may one day record all the cemetery data in the state, there will always be new sources to be researched, Johnson said. "You never get everything you can get," he said. "It'll never finish." The Louisiana GenWeb homepage's address is www.rootsweb.com/~lagenweb/.

http://ebrclerkofcourt.org/news/birth.htm Louisiana Birth Certificates After many years of New Orleans being the only outlet for obtaining a copy of Louisiana Birth Certificates, a new satellite office of Vital Records is open in Baton Rouge for quick and easy service in this area. Because we get many calls at the office seeking this information, we want everyone to be aware of this new availability. The office is located at 353 N. 12th Street and the hours of operation are 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on weekdays. In addition to birth certificates, the office will be able to provide copies of death certificates. Their phone number is 342-1930. Additionally, in the latter half of 2000, Clerks’ offices throughout the state will have this information available for the public. For now, however, we have a location in Baton Rouge for our citizens and those nearby to use and avoid the necessity of driving to New Orleans to secure a copy of a vital record.
