J. E. BONIN, BROUSSARDVILLE.--The subject of this sketch is a native of
Lafayette parish, as were both his parents.  His father died in 1879, and his
mother in 1861.

Mr. Bonin received his education in the common schools of Lafayette parish. 
He was reared on a plantation, and since he has been in business for himself
he has followed the vocation of planting exclusively.  His farm consists of
one hundred and fifty acres of excellent land, in a high state of cultivation
and well improved.   Mr. Bonin was united in marriage, in 1861, with Miss
Landry.  They are the parents of seven children, all living.  Mr. Bonin is a
member of the Catholic church.
