LUKE TRAINOR, NEW IBERIA.--Luke Trainor, of the firm of Trainor Sons, was born
in Franklin, Louisiana, in 1862.  He is the son of O. J. Trainor, a native of
Ireland, born 1828.  O. J. Trainor came to this country in 1840, where he
remained until his death.  He was the owner of a large door, blind and sash
factory.  Our subject's mother, Emily Wexem, is a native of Louisiana, of
French descent.  She now resides in New Iberia.

The subject of this sketch spent his school days in Franklin, Louisiana,
receiving his chief education at Bryant College.  He was engaged with his
father in business until his death, since which time he has been a member, and
general manager, of the firm of Trainor Sons, in the operation of their large
sash, door and blind factory at this place, in which he employs about twenty
men.  Their business is extensive, and the firm is one of the best known in
