Dr. James William Jeane (7 Feb 1870 LA / 3 Nov 1947 LA) was the son of James M. 
Jeane and Orelia McDonald. He married on 17 December 1890 in Vernon Parish to 
Laura Cordelia (?)(24 Oct 1872 LA / 1949 LA). They are buried in the large JEANE

From the records that Dr. Jeane kept, it appears that the first birth he 
delivered and recorded was on 29 May 1900 for his daughter, Cora Molora 
Jeane. Although Dr. Jeane and his wife had five children before Cora was 
born, there is no record of who delivered the older children. The last 
child he delivered and recorded was for William Martin Harrington on 
31 May 1947, just five months before his death. In all, Dr. Jeane 
recorded 1,327 babies that he delivered between 1900 and 1947.
