Alcide M. Bordelon, district clerk of Avoyelles Parish, La., was born here in
the year 1856, and here was reared to manhood on a plantation and was
educated. As a native-born resident of this parish he is looked upon with
considerable pride by the people of this locality, for they have watched his
career from his youth up, and he has at all times shown himself to be a young
man of undoubted honesty, and has displayed ability and sagacity of a high
order. in 1881 he was united in the bonds of matrimony to Miss Noemi Coco,
also a native of this parish, and although he was elected to the office of
clerk of the district court in the spring of 1888, and moved to Marksville, he
is yet the owner of his plantation. He was for four years a magistrate of the
Sixth Ward, but on May 26, 1888, was installed into the office clerk, and will
serve until 1892. His union has resulted in the birth of four children: Louis
Clinton, Joseph L., Robert Lucius and Daisy Alice. Mr. Bordelon is one of the
most popular men of the parish, and is one of its most efficient public
servants, which fact speaks loudly in his praise, for Avoyelles Parish is
noted for its able, honorable and painstaking officials. He is a genial man,
and is a gentleman in every sense of the word, both by instinct and education.
His parents, Marcelin C. and Ozide (Mayeux) Bordelon, were also born in the
State of Louisiana, the father dying in January, 1884, his widow still
surviving him. The family are Catholics, and the father was for a number of
years a member of the police jury.
