C. M. OLIVIER, JR., CADE.--Mr. Olivier was born in this parish in 1851.  He is
the son of C. M. and Amanthe (Briard) Olivier.  Both were natives of St.
Martin parish.  C. M. Olivier was judge of the Sixteen Judicial District for
several years before his death.  He was a gentleman of culture and refinement. 
He died in 1876.  His wife still survives him and is a resident of St.
Martinsville.  They became the parents of ten children, eight of whom are
living. 

The subject of our sketch has devoted his full attention to planting, in which
he has been quite successful, and now owns a fertile plantation of over three
hundred acres of land in St. Martin parish.  He was married, in 1879, to Miss
Josephine Cormier, daughter of Nicholas and Emilie (Kedoux) Cormier.  They are
the parents of two children, viz: Maurice and Amelie.  Mr. Olivier and family
are devoted Catholics.
