SASTHEN ZERINGUE, LAPLACE.--The subject of this sketch is a native of St.
Martin parish and was born October 7, 1841.  He is the son of Z. and Mary
(Suderic) Zeringue, the former a native of St Landry parish and the latter of
St. Martin parish, Louisiana; they are both deceased.

Sasthen Zeringue had very limited educational advantages and at an early age
began work on a plantation.  After having attained his majority he began
planting for himself, in which he has since continued with more or less
success.  He owns a plantation of about one hundred and fifty acres in this
parish, on which he raises cotton and corn chiefly.  His land is fertile and
his plantation is one of the best in this section.  At the age of twenty-one
Mr. Zeringue was united in marriage with Miss Clemence Guidry, a native of St.
Martin parish, and daughter of Edmond and Joset (Sanier) Guidry.  They are the
parents of five children.
