LENFROY BURGUIERES, BALDWIN.--Lenfroy Burguieres was born in Louisiana, April
27, 1852.  He is the son of E. D. and M. M. (Verret) Burguieres natives of
France and Louisiana, respectively.

Our subject was reared in Terrebonne parish, where he entered a private school
at the age of twelve years, and remained until he had attained his majority,
when he engaged in merchandising, which, however, he abandoned later and
turned his attention to planting.  From Terrebonne parish he removed to St.
Mary, and is still a resident of this place.  By energy and industry Mr.
Burguieres has achieved the highest success.  His plantation consists of four
hundred and fifty acres of fine land, three hundred of them being under
cultivation.  He raises principally corn and cane.  That his plantation
products might be more remunerative our
 subject erected a fine sugar house,
which manufactures syrup and sugar.  He was for seventeen months recorder of
Terrebonne parish.  He married, December 30, 1885, Elodie Bonin, a native of
this parish, born August 5, 1843.
