Dr. E. de Nux, physician and surgeon, Marksville, La. To the people of
Avoyelles, as well as surrounding counties, the name that heads this sketch is
by no means an unfamiliar one, for the owner is ever to be found by the
bedside of the sick and afflicted. He was born in Auch, France, in 1842, and
is the son of Emeric and Berthe (Gardere) de Nux, natives also of France. The
father was a descendant of one of the wealthy and prominent families of that
country. He and his wife both received their final summons in their native
country, the father dying in 1856, and the mother in 1866. Dr. E. de Nux
received his education at Toulouse College and at St. Barbe, Paris, but
received his medical education in the last named city. He left his native
country for America in 1868, located in New Orleans, where he practiced his
profession for one year, and then, in 1869, he removed to Marksville, where he
still continues to practice. He is a physician of decided ability, a thorough
student of medicine, and his reputation is thoroughly established. In 1873 he
was married to Miss Annette Derivas, a native of Louisiana, and the fruits of
this union are four children: Emeric, Gaston, Henry and Sylvain. Dr. de Nux
and family are members of the Catholic Church.
