GEORGE SIMON, NEW IBERIA.--George Simon is a native of the Black Forest,
Germany, and came to America in 1866.  He is the son of George Simon, who was
in the revenue department in Germany nearly all of his life.

George Simon received his education from one of the best institutions of his
native place. After coming to this country in 1866 he traveled for some time
in the United States and Mexico, and, in 1876, located in New Iberia, and
became manager of the foundry business of F. S Lutzenburger, fifteen years
after which he took charge of the business on his own account.  Mr. Simon is
one of the energetic men of this place.  He was married in 1873 to Miss Julia
Lutzenberger.  They are the parents of six children.
