                      ADRIEN HEBRARD NUNEZ
                         Abbeville, LA

Adrien H. Nunez, a successful stock raiser, was born at Spring
Hill, June 6, 1859.  He is the son of Adrien Nunez, whose sketch
appears above. He was but an infant when his father removed to
what is now Nunez Island, where he was reared. He received
his education at Thibodeauxville and Lafayette, graduating
from Thibodeauxville at the age of nineteen years. Mr. Nunez
educated himself with the view of becoming a physician, but
changed his mind and gave his attention to stock raising and
planting. He is probably the most extensive stock dealer in this
section of the country.  He has on his place a large number of a
fine grade of horses and cattle. His plantation consists of three
thousand acres of land, finely located  and well improved.
Mr. Nunez married, February 19, 1884, Miss Mary Leona Kibbe,
daughter of Levi Kibbe, of Vermilion parish. They are the parents
of two children, a son and a daughter. Both  Mr. Nunez and wife
are members of the Catholic church.  He has taken quite an active
part in the local affairs of his parish, and has served as deputy
sheriff and tax collector. In politics he is an uncompromising
democrat.
