R. D. ETIE, BALDWIN.--R. D. Etie was born in New Iberia, April 8, 1865.  He is
the son of R. D. and Leontine (Broussard) Etie, natives of Iberia parish.

Our subject entered the schools of New Iberia at the age of twelve years,
remaining two sessions.  On leaving school he engaged in farming with his
brother until 1884, when he matriculated in St. Stanislaus College,
Mississippi, staying at this place for one year.  He then found employment as
teacher in the public schools of St. Mary parish, removing two years later to
Galveston, Texas, where he engaged in clerking in the grocery store of L.
Harris & Co., for nine months.  After this he came to Baldwin, and clerked for
some time with E. D. Martin, eventually becoming manager of the store, which
position he still holds.  He was married, August 22, 1888, to Miss Aimee
Sanguinette of St. Mary parish, the daughter of J. R. and Hetmina (Bertrand)
Sanguinette.  One daughter has been born to them: April 26, 1890, named  Hida.
