1862.  He is the son of Alexander Roy and A. Bernard, the former a native of
St. Martin parish, the latter of Lafayette.  Alexander died in 1873; his wife

superintended its operation.  Since this time he has been entirely engaged in

hundred arpents of land, a good portion of which is under a high state of
cultivation.  In 1890.  Mr. Roy was appointed police juror from the fifth ward
