Charles H. Dupuy, planter, Plaquemine, La.  Mr. Dupuy, whose brother is the subject of the
preceding sket.ch, was born in Iberville parish, near where he now resides, on the 17th of
January, 1849, and is of French descent.  Of the seven children born to his parents he was
sixth in order of birth, and was educated in the schools of Plaquemine.  He remained with his
mother until twenty-four years of age, and then acted as overseer for J. S. Tuttle for two
years.  He subsequently became the owner of Centennial plantation, which is an excellent one,
though small, and in every thing connected with its management he is thorough and painstaking.
Mr. Dupuy selected as his companion in life Miss Bevin, a native of Iberville parish, and their
union was celebrated in 1874.  They are the happy parents of three children, all daughters.
Mr. Dupuy and family are members of the Catholic church.  He takes an active part in politics
and is an active worker for the democratic party.  He is a man of sound judgment, good business
ability, and is held in high esteem in his community.  His ancestors were among the first to
settle on Plaquemine bayou and the family has ever held a worthy place in the history of this
country.
