                      JOSEPH ALCEE LeBLANC
                         Abbeville, LA
                                
Joseph Alcee LeBlanc, police juror from ward 1, was born in St.
Mary parish, Louisiana, December 16, 1849.  He is the son of John
and Baptiste LeBlanc, both natives of this parish, where they
were reared and married. They lived for some time after
their marriage in St. Mary parish, but subsequently returned
to Vermilion parish, where they have since resided. Mr. John
LeBlanc has been a planter the whole of his life.  He was a
soldier in the late war, serving in Fournet's Battalion as
sergeant of his company, and afterward was transferred to
the Eighteenth Louisiana Infantry, and later was an officer in
the Fourth Louisiana Cavalry.  The subject of this sketch spent
his school days in St. Mary and Vermilion parishes, receiving a
common school education. He has given his attention entirely to
his planting interests since engaging in business and is one of
the well-to-do planters of Vermilion parish. He was appointed
member of the police jury in 1884, and in 1888 was reappointed.
Mr. LeBlanc married, in 1872, Miss Broussard, of Vermilion
parish. To this union four sons and five daughters have been
born, all of whom are living. Politically Mr. LeB1anc is an
unwavering Democrat.
