MARTIN DOUCET, CROWLEY.--Martin Doucet, a planter of Ward 5, is a native of
Louisiana.  He is the son of Joseph and Carmelite (Richard) Doucet, both
natives of Louisiana.  To them thirteen children were born, twelve of whom are
living.  The father died in 1872, and the mother, in 1878.  Both were members
of the Catholic church.

The subject of this sketch enlisted as a soldier in 1862 in the C. S. A., and
was an active participant in that struggle until the dose of the war.  He was
first in the infantry and later in the cavalry service.  After the war he
returned to Louisiana and engaged in farming.  This he has continued on a
small scale with success.  Mr. Doucet and wife are the parents of eight
children, four sons and four daughters, seven of whom are living.
