Richard Supple.  Bayou Goula, La., the efficient manager of the mercantile
establishment of his mother, Mrs. J. Supple, is a well-known figure in

was founded by his father, Jeremiah Supple, in 1866, and was conducted by him
until his death, which occurred in 1883.  The mother's maiden name was
Catherine Gillick.  Richard Supple was married in 1880 to Miss Ernestine
Lefeaux, a daughter of Charles and Felicie (Hotarch) Lefeaux.  One daughter
was born of this union, who was named Felicie.  Thomas Supple, a brother to
Richard, is the manager of two plantations which were a part of the deceased
father's estate, they contain about 1,300 acres and the most important
production is sugar.  Thomas Supple was married to Miss Bertha Carnell,
daughter of Joseph Carnell.  Joseph Supple, another member of the family, is
assistant bookkeeper in the store.  He married Eloise Hanlon, a daughter of

The families are members of the Roman Catholic church.  The Supple brothers
are all enterprising, energetic, ambitious young men, and are held in high
