Louis Barada was born in St. Louis, and settled with his parents in
St. Charles about the year 1800, where he resided during the rest of
his life.  He died in March, 1852, and his wife died in February, 1873.
Mr. Barada followed various occupations, but devoted most of his time
to the butchering business and milling.  He assisted in the building of
the famous old stone flouring mill, in which he at one time owned an
interest.  He also helped to build the old stone Catholic Church, and
was one of its trustees for many years, serving in that capacity until
his death.  He married Ellen Gagnon, by whom he had eleven children:
Louis Jr., Danaciene, Louise, Ann N., Mary, Pierre, Benoist, Ellen,
John B., Lucille and Eulalie.  Louis Jr., Danaciene, Benoist and Eula-
lie died in childhood, and Pierre died at the age of ten years.  Louise
married David Knott, who died in St. Louis in 1848.  His widow still 
resides in that city.  Ann N. married Antoine LeFaivre, who died in 
1853; she is still living.  Mary married Charles Cornoyer, who died in
St. Louis in 1871, and his widow still resides there.  Ellen was marr-
ied twice; first to John LeFaivre, who died two years afterward, and

from the explosion of the steamer George C. Wolf.  His widow lives in
St. Louis.  John B. was clerk on the steamer Robert, and died in St.
Louis of Yellow Fever, contracted in New Orleans.  Lucille married
