ALPHONSE LANDRY, NEW IBERIA.--Mr. Landry was born in Lafayette parish in
1843.  He is the son of Terville and Irma (Segura) Landry.  Terville
Landry was born in Lafayette parish in 1815, and died in 1869.  Our
subject's mother was a native of Iberia parish, born in 1820, and died
in 1853.  Alphonse Landry received a good education, and in 1867 began
planting.  He has a plantation of two hundred acres, on which he has
erected a gin house, and otherwise improved his place until it is now
one of the most valuable plantations in this section.  Mr. Landry has
given most of his time to his plantation interest.  Though active in
local affairs, he has never held an office.

Mr. Landry married, in 1860, Miss Clara Comeaux, a native of Lafayette
parish.  They are the parents of four children, two boys and two girls,
viz.  Irma,  Ida,  Gabriel and  Anthony.  Mr. Landry and family are
members of the Catholic church.
