A. D. VEROT, YOUNGSVILLE.--A. D. Verot was born in 1850.  His father, M.
Verot, was a native of France, born 1812.  He devoted himself to school
teaching in his early life, in Louisiana, where he removed when quite young. 
He married, in 1847, Miss Hermine, the mother of our subject.  They became the
parents of six children, four sons and two daughters.  The father died in
1868; his widow still survives him.  A. D. Verot is by occupation a blacksmith
and wheelwright, though at present he is engaged in planting.  He owns three
hundred and sixty-five acres of tillable land, which he partly cultivates and
partly uses as a pasture for a fine grade of Jersey and Devonshire cattle, of
which he is the importer and raiser.  The principal products of his plantation
are cotton, corn and rice.  Mr. Verot has never married.
