SPRINGFIELD TERRACE, a subdivision north of Springfield near the inter-

section of La. Hwys. 42 and 43 was established in 1954 by Hobart O. Pardue

and his son Hobart, Jr.  The land was divided into lots and streets to

resemble a small town and a deep well was put down to provide free

drinking water to the families who built their homes there.

     The late Mrs. Pardue, the former Estelle Coats, ran the Springfield

Pharmacy from 1922 to 1952.

     In 1967, the Pardues established Pardue Trailer Park to serve people

buying mobile homes.  The park is near the Terrace. -- Mrs. Louise N. Lee
