• Notes

  E. C. ROGER, Arnaudville - E. C. Roger, of the firm of Roger Bros., was born in St. Martin parish in 1845. He spent his school days and received a fair education in this parish. In 1857 he commenced a mercantile business at Breaux Bridge, where he was engaged until 1861. Subsequently he was engaged in the same business at Attenue until 1863. In the spring of this year he joined Captain Hardroger's company of the 7th Louisiana Cavalry in which he served until the close of the war as orderly sergeant. His regiment served in the Trans-Mississippi Department. At the close of the war he returned home and entered the employ of Judge A. L. Durio, with whom he remained two j'ears, and was, subsequently, for a similar length of time, engaged with U. A. Gilbeau, at Arnaudville. One year later he removed to Abbeville, Vermilion parish, and after three years he returned to Breaux Bridge and entered the mercantile business with J. Plonsky; afterward he became a member of the firm of Melason & Roger, at Breaux Bridge. During the time he was there he served twice as alderman and once as mayor of the town. In 1874 he removed to this place and, in partnership with his brother, began a mercantile business, which they have since continued. He has here served as mayor and alderman, and is one of the leading spirits in all public matters. He was appointed post-master in 1874 and in this capacity has since served. Besides their large mercantile interests at this place, Messrs. Roger Bros, own a large amount of land in St. Landry and adjoining parishes. E. C. Roger was married, in 1872. to Miss Anna Hinckley, of Washington. They have become the parents of two children, Frank M. and George L., both of whom are now in Centenary College, Jackson, Louisiana.
