JEAN DOMEC, ARNAUDVILLE.--The subject of this sketch is a native of France,
born February 9, 1848.  His father, John Louis Domec, was a native of France
and spent his whole life in that country.  Our subject's mother was Miss
Jennie Frechen, also a native of France.

John Domec was reared in his native country and received his education from
good private schools.  He began life as a farmer and was for nine years
engaged on his father's farm in France.  He was subsequently engaged in the
same business for himself for two years, at which time he emigrated to America
and located in St. Landry parish, near Grand Coteau, where he purchased a
plantation and began planting, which he continued for a period of eighteen
ears.  He then removed to St. Martin parish and purchased a tract of land of
eighteen hundred acres, eight hundred of which are under cultivation.  He
raises cotton chiefly.  Mr. Domec was married to Miss Ozemia Lier, of St.
Landry parish.  To them have been born three sons and two daughters: viz.:
Firmin,  Louis,  Hypolite,  Alice,  Clara.

Mr. Domec is one of the most extensive and successful planters in this
section.
