Gamard, Edward Alphonse, D. D. S., 2941 Palmyra street, New Orleans, 
La., was born at New Orleans, Sept. 11, 1876; son of Alphonse and 
Marie (Couret) Gamard, both of whom were born in the same city as 
the son, the father in 1846 and the mother in 1848.  In the course 
of his education Edward Alphonse Gamard attended the Jesuit college 
in the city of his nativity, and after completing his studies at that 
institution entered the boys' high school in the same city, from which 
he graduated in 1895, following which he matriculated in the dental 
department of the University of Maryland, graduating with the degree 
of D. D. S. in the class of 1899.  Shortly following the completion 
of his professional studies Dr. Gamard established himself in offices 
at the city of New Orleans and began the practice of his profession, 
which has since engrossed his attention and been fruitful of gratifying 
results.  The doctor is a member of the Roman Catholic church and 
affiliates with the Democratic party.  He is also a member of the 
First and Second Districts Dental and the Louisiana State Dental 
societies.  April 21, 1903, Dr. Gamard was married to Miss Amy Croker, 
daughter of the late Martin and Mary (Staples) Croker of Morgan City, 
La.  To Dr. and Mrs. Gamard 3 children have been born, namely:  Lucille,  
Amy and  Edward, Jr.
