in a native of Louisiana, born June 4, 1844.  He is the son of Lastie and Lucy
(Augustine) Hebert, natives of Louisiana.  His father was a planter, and was
reared, married and spent his whole life in Calcasieu parish.    There were born
to this union ten children, four sons and six daughters, seven of whom
are now living, the subject of this sketch being the oldest son.  Lastie Hebert
was a soldier in the late war, serving from 1861 until the time of his death in

until the close of the war.  When the war was over he returned
home and engaged in planting.  He is considered one of the most successful
planters of his neighborhood, and owns one hundred and sixty  acres of  land,
one hundred and thirty of which are under cultivation.  The principal products 
of his plantation are rice and sweet patatoes.  His farm is located fifteen
miles northeast of Lake Charles and five miles north of Iowa Station.  It is
well improved and bears evidence of good management.  Mr Hebert is a
public-spirited man, and is foremost in all efforts that tend to the promotion
of his section.  In 1883 he married a second time, Miss Eliza Mither; to this
union have been born four children, Amelia, Mary D., David, Paul.    Mr. Hebert
is giving to each of his children a good, practical, business education.
