parish, March, 1852.  He is one of eleven children, seven brothers and four
sisters, born to Alexander and Olive (Breaux) Delhomme.  Both his parents are
natives of Lafayette parish.  Alexander Delhomme has made farming his
exclusive vocation, and in this he has been remarkably successful.  His
plantation consists of six hundred acres of fertile land, well improved.

The subject of this sketch was married, in 1879, to Eleline Mouton, daughter
of Alfred and Zellia Mouton.  Mr. Delhomme has been a planter during the whole
