Louque, George A., D. D. S., New Orleans, was born in St. John the Baptist 
parish, La., Sept. 21, 1866; son of Norbert and Odile (Boudehan) Louque, 
the former a native of the parish in which the son was born, and the latter 
of Iberville parish, La.  The father was a sugar planter throughout his 
life.  Both father and mother are now deceased, the father having died in 
1899, and the mother in the summer of 1886.  The paternal grandfather was 
born in Venice, Italy, and came to America at an early date, now more than 
140 years ago.  The paternal grandmother was of German parentage.  They 
were married in Louisiana.  Norbert Louque was married 3 times.  By his 
first marriage, 1 son was born, Louis, by name.  By his second marriage, 7 
children were born, three of whom are living at this time, namely:  
Charles, who is mentioned in this work;  Amelia, now Mrs. Dupuy;  Amiee, 
now Mrs. Roth.  By the third marriage, 9 children were born, three of whom 
are living, viz.:  John, of New Orleans;  George, the subject of this 
sketch, and  Arthur, a traveling salesman, now employed in Canada.  
George A. Louque attended Jefferson college, and after graduating from that 
institution, entered Vanderbilt university, Nashville, Tenn., from which he 
graduated with the class of 1886, degree of D. D. S.  In 1888 he went to 
Central America, and there practiced dentistry 1 year.  Returning to New 
Orleans, he established offices there and began the practice of his 
profession in that city, where his professional abilities have received 
such recognition as to bring him a constantly-increasing clientele and 
demand his undivided attention to this time.  Dr. Louque affiliates with 
the Catholic church, and is a member of the Louisiana State Dental society. 
Oct. 25, 1890, Dr. Louque was married to Miss Carmelit Pons, a daughter of 
Antonio and Madlane (Carcagni) Pons, both of whom were natives of Spain, 
and now deceased.  To Dr. and Mrs. Louque, 3 children have been born, these 
being:  Odile, deceased;  George A., Jr., and  Robert E.
