Jung, J. Charles.--In the coal business in the city of New Orleans since 
the year 1895.  Is a son of L. A. and Azelie (d'Hébécourt) Jung, and was 
born in the year 1869 at New Orleans, La., where he lived from infancy to 
the present.  His earlier education was obtained at a private school, 
conducted by Mrs. Vatinel afterward entering the public schools.  When the 
course of instruction had been completed at the latter, in 1883, he 
matriculated at Louisiana state university, in which institution he 
remained a student during 3 years.  Following the completion of his 
studies, he entered business in the service of his uncle, L. E. Jung, 
continuing in this connection until the year 1895, when he became 
associated with his father in the coal business, their enterprise 
prospering and continually growing unto the present time under the same 
management.  Mr. Jung is a member, respectively of the Chess, Checkers & 
Whist club, and the Stratford club.  In 1893, Mr. Jung was married at New 
Orleans to Miss Rita Buisson, a daughter of A. Buisson and niece of Judge 
Th. Buisson.  To Mr. and Mrs. Jung 8 children, as follows, have been born:  
Inez,  Emily,  Rita,  Lydia,  Mildred,  Odette,  J. Charles, Jr:, and  
Solange.  Rita and Lydia are deceased.  The other children reside at the 
parental home.  It cannot be doubted that Mr. Jung's years of experience 
as a coal merchant in the same locality, the city of New Orleans, this 
experience now embracing a period near 20 years, has placed him in a 
position of preëminence in that line of trade and enables him to afford 
his patrons advantages well-nigh impossible to one less experienced.  He 
has witnessed many and varied changes affecting the coal supply and 
facilities for handling the great needs of the city in his field of 
activity, and naturally has become a leading authority on all matters 
affecting the supply, the methods of handling and distribution, and the 
fluctuating prices of coal of various grades.  Mr. Jung has long been 
intimately associated with the commercial and industrial life of the city, 
and is widely and generally known through-out its varied circles, taking 
an active interest in all things that vitally concern the welfare of the 
people among whom he lives and conducts a firmly-established commercial 
enterprise.
