Albert O. Folse has for many years been prominently identified with the
agricultural interests of Assumption parish, La., and the following space
will be devoted to a brief outline of his personal history.  He was born in
the state of Louisiana in 1856, and is a son of H. and C. (Bourg) Folse.
When he was one year old his mother died, so that he was thus early
deprived of that loving care which is only bestowed by a mother.  His
father survived until May, 1891.  He was a planter by occupation and was a
resident of this parish.  In 1881 Mr. Folse was married to Miss N. Tete, a
daughter of Judge N. Tete, and two sons and two daughters have been born of
the union.  The family are members of the Roman Catholic church.  Mr. Folse
received his education in his Native parish, and was trained to the
occupation of planting, which his father had followed his whole life, as
before stated.  He grew up with an intelligent understanding of the
importance of agricultural industries, and since he arrived at years of
maturity he has had in his charge some of the largest plantations of the
parish.  He now lives on the plantation of Folse Brothers & Sister, which
contains 1,700 acres, and is in a high state of cultivation; the principal
crop is cane and corn, and under his wise management each acre yields the
largest possible returns.  Mr. Folse has devoted his life to these
pursuits, and has met with marked success in all his undertakings, long
since having been recognized as authority on all topics pertaining to
tilling the soil and kindred subjects.
