JOSEPH CHACHERÉ, ST. LANDRY.--Joseph Chacheré is a successful farmer, residing
ten miles south of Opelousas.  He is a native of the parish, born June, 1836.
He is the son of V. and Eloise (Loving) Chacheré, both of whom are natives of
Louisiana.  His father was a planter by occupation.  He is still living, being
now eighty-nine years old.  He is hale and hearty for one of his years.

Joseph Chacheré was reared on a plantation, and when he began business for
himself he chose farming as his vocation.

He was married in 1861, to Elide Pitre, and to the union have been born three
children, viz:  Josephine, wife of Jno. Andrews;  Amint, wife of Leon
Lavoring;  Amelia, wife of Jno. M. Andrews.  Mrs. Chacheré died at her home in
St. Landry parish in 1873.  In 1874 Mr. Chacheré married Lucinda Bacon,
daughter of Joseph Bacon.  They became the parents of three children:  Nale,
Rosa and  Irene.

Mr. Chacheré owns a good plantation of about three hundred acres, upon which
he raises a variety of products, chiefly corn and cotton.  He also raises
considerable stock, to which his farm is especially adapted.
