EUGENE D. DUCHAMP, CADE.--Mr. Duchamp is a native of the parish and was born
in 1863.  He is the son of E. A. and Emily Duchamp, natives of New Jersey, but
who removed to St. Martin parish early in life.  They have reared a large

and controls a fine plantation seven miles west of St. Martinsville, where he
cultivates sugar cane.  He was married in 1883.  Mr. Duchamp and family are
