JOSEPH S. BROUSSARD, BROUSSARDVILLE.--Joseph S. Broussard was born in 1862. 
He is the only son of D. and Clemence (Toubody) Broussard.   D. Broussard was
a planter of Lafayette parish, and served as a soldier in the late war.

Joseph S. Broussard is a cotton planter on a small scale.  His plantation
consists of fifty acres of land, well improved.  He is one of those successful
agriculturists who believe in cultivating less land, and by the use of
improved methods causing it to give a greater yield.  He was married, in 1883,
to Odiel Dupies.  They are the parents of four children, three sons and a
daughter.
