Totaled More Than 16, 000 Acres In St. Bernard, Including 9, 000 Acres Of Marshland, Which Had A Market
Value Of At Least $13 Million. His Holdings Included Several Lots Off Paris Road North Of Judge Perez
Drive In Chalmette, Where Body Shops, Marine Repair Companies And A Smorgasbord Of Other Small
Businesses Are Located. Mr. Meraux, An Only Child, Inherited Most Of The Land From His Parents And His
Uncle, J. Claude Meraux, Who Was A District Judge And A State Representative. Joseph Meraux Was A
Member Of A Family That Was Influential In St. Bernard Politics. His Father, Dr. Louis A. 'Doc' Meraux,

Leander Perez, Who Ruled Plaquemines Parish For Decades. His Maternal Grandfather, Joseph Maumus,
Founded St. Bernard Bank And Trust. Although His Family Name Carried Clout, Mr. Meraux Shunned The
Political, Social And Public Spotlight. 'He's Been Private All His Life, ' Childhood Friend And
Longtime St. Bernard Parish Police Juror Louis Munster Said. 'A Lot Of People Were Jealous Of Him
Because Of His Wealth, And Everybody Had A Deal For Him. But He Wanted To Do His Own Wheeling And
Dealing. ' Mr. Meraux Was Generous And Didn't Want Public Recognition, Said Munster, Who Serves On The
St. Bernard Bank's Board Of Directors. 'He's Been Very Generous To His Parish. ' Mr. Meraux, A Member
Of The Parish's Economic Development Commission, Donated The Land For The Parish Police Jury Complex
And Civic And Cultural Center On West Judge Perez Drive. 'But Most Of The Parish Doesn't Know That
Because He Never Showed Up At Ribbon-Cuttings And Press Conferences, ' Munster Said. 'He Did Not Want
Publicity Whatsoever. ' Munster Said He Grew Up Only Blocks Away But Worlds Apart From Mr. Meraux In
Arabi. 'He Lived In A Big Colonial House That Was Like A Plantation, And I Lived Two Blocks Away In A
Small Double, ' Munster Said. 'They Were Good People, And Joe's Mother Would Send The Chauffeur In A
Packard For Me And We'd Play All Day In Their Yard, ' Munster Said. 'There Were Peacocks And Wild Deer
And Parrots In The Trees. I Felt Like I Was At The Park. ' Since Mr. Meraux Had No Children And No
Siblings, There Was Always Much Speculation About His Inheritance, Munster Said. 'Everybody Always
Said, 'What's Going To Happen?' ' Munster Said. 'I Guess It Won't Be Too Long Until It Will Be Known. '
