AURELLIN LEBLANC, CARENCRO. --Aurellin LeBlanc was born in Lafayette parish,
March, 1850.  He is the son of Ognie and Adeline (Richard) LeBlanc, both
natives of Lafayette parish.  Ognie LeBlanc was an extensive planter of
Lafayette parish; he died, at the age of sixty-five years, in 1887.  The
LeBlanc family is one of the oldest in Louisiana ; the particular branch of
the family of which our subject is a member owned in their turn for
generations the estate which is now in possession of the heirs of Ognie
LeBlanc.

The subject of this sketch received in education in the schools of Lafayette
parish.  When a boy seventeen years of age he began farming for himself, and
in this he has been exclusively engaged since.  Mr. LeBlanc owns a farm near
Carencro, which he cultivates in cotton.  In 1872 he was married to Miss
Elodie Hebert, of Lafayette parish.  They are the parents of eight children.
