SIMONET LEBLANC, YOUNGSVILLE.--Simonet LeBlanc is of the large Louisiana
LeBlanc family, originally descended from Acadian ancestors.  He is a native
of Iberia parish, as also were his parents.  His father was a planter of
Iberia; he died in 1881.  His mother died in 1867.

Mr. LeBlanc had very limited educational facilities, and what education he
possesses has been gained by private study and contact with the business
world.  He has been engaged principally in mercantile pursuits since starting
out in business life, and his success is attested in that from a very humble
beginning he has built up his business until it has assumed its present
healthy proportions.  Mr. LeBlanc was united in marriage, in 1881, with Miss
Elia Roy, and to them have been born four children.
