HENRY T. BOUTTE, DEROUEN.--Mr. Boutte is a native of Iberia parish, born
June 22, 1855.  He is the son of Terrac and Delonie (Romero) Boutte. 
Both father and mother are natives of
Iberia parish.  Our subject was reared in Iberia parish, where, at the
age of ten years, he entered a private school at New Iberia.  Here he
remained for some time, afterward
attending school in New Orleans for about nine months.  Upon leaving
school, he engaged with his father in the general mercantile business at
New Iberia.  He only remained here one
year, however, when he purchased a small plantation, and began
planting.  His plantation is well improved, and on it Mr. Boutte has
erected a sugar mill and made other substantial
improvements.  There are few more successful planters in this section
than he.  He was married in January, 1880, to Mathilde Robichaux, a
daughter of Valery and Zoalea (Arceneaux)
Robichaux, both of whom are natives of Iberia parish.  To Mr. Boutte and
wife have been born one son and four daughters:  Edward, born 20th
December, 1880;  Daisy, born 31st May,
1882;  Lilly, 23d November, 1883;  Marie, 1st January, 1884, and 
Lillian, 25th June, 1887.
