ST. AMANT, CAMILE - This prosperous young business man, of Ascension parish, 
La., was born here in 1859, and is well and favorably known not only for his 
excellent business qualifications, but for his pleasant, genial manners. He 
received an ordinary English education and started out to fight life's battles 
for himself as bookkeeper for the mercantile firm of J. St. Amant & Co. Here he 
has remained ever since. The firm carries a stock of goods valued at $7,000, and 
their annual sales amount to $40,000. Mr. St. Amant is a member of the Knights 
of Honor, Livingston lodge, No. 3134, and he is assistant postmaster at St. 
Amant.

He was married in 1886 to Miss Camelia Poche, a native also of Ascension parish, 
and two children have been born to this union, a son and daughter. His father, 
Venance St. Amant, was born in New Orleans in January, 1800, and was there 
married. Of the nine children born to this union - six sons and three daughters 
- Camile St. Amant was next to the youngest. Another son, J. St. Amant, was born 
in 1862, and was the youngest child.

He was educated at Fort Vincent, began life as an accountant, continued this for 
three years, and now owns one of the largest stores in this part of the country. 
He was elected to represent Ascension parish in the legislature in 1888, and 
this position he is now holding. He is also postmaster at St. Amant. He is a 
member of the Masonic fraternity, and all the family belong to the Catholic 
church.
