JOS. V. DUGAS, BREAUX BRIDGE.--Mr. Dugas was born in St. Martin parish in
1845.  He is the son of Valerian, and Victois (Guidry) Dugas; the former is a
native of Lafayette parish, the latter of St. Martin parish, Louisiana.

The subject of this sketch at the age of thirteen entered St. Charles College,
attending two sessions, when he entered the Confederate service, and served
for a period of two years, after which he returned to St. Martin parish, and
was shortly afterward married to Miss Josephine Thibodeaux, daughter of Olive
and A. (Melancon) Thibodeaux, of St. Martin parish.  Jos. Dugas is a planter,
and to this vocation he has given his whole attention.  He has a small fertile
plantation near Breaux Bridge, which he has operated with success. Mr. and
Mrs. Dugas are parents of eight children.
