J. C. LYONS, PLAQUEMINE BRULEE.--J. C. Lyons was born in what is now Acadia
parish, Louisiana, July 26, 1842.  His father, Gabriel Lyons, was born near
the birthplace of our subject in 1812.  He was reared and spent his whole life
in Louisiana.  He married when young the mother of our subject, Louise
Johnson, and they became the parents of six children, four sons and two
daughters, of whom J. C. is the youngest.

The subject of this sketch received his education in the schools of his
locality.  Planting has been his lifetime vocation.  His plantation consists
of six hundred acres of land, under fence, the principal products being corn
and cotton. Mr. Lyons was married, in 1868, to Miss Clara Arceneaux.  They are
the parents of seven children, four sons and three daughters.
