• Notes

  L. M. ROGER, Arnaudville.- L. M. Roger, a prominent merchant of St. Landry parish, and a member of the firm Roger Bros., is a native of St. Martin parish, Louisiana. He is the son of Francois and M. (Thibodeaux) Roger, natives of Louisiana. He was born in 1843, and spent his school days in St. Martin parish. During the war, before the battle of Shiloh, he joined the Orleans Guards Battalion and was subsequently transferred to the Third Louisiana Infantry, in which he served until the regiment disbanded. He was in many of the active engagements in which his department participated. At Spanish Fort, near Mobile, he received a flesh wound which disabled him until the time of the surrender. On coming home after the war he began a mercantile business as sub-manager for U. A. Gilbeau, of this place, and was in his employ for some time. He was subsequently employed at Breaux Bridge, Abbeville, and there became the partner of Joseph Plonsky in a mercantile business. In 1875 he removed to St. Landry parish, where he engaged in mercantile business, in partnership with his brother. In July, 1885, he was married to Miss D. .A. Hincklev. of St. Landry parish. He is a prominent Mason. Source: William Henry Perrin, Southwest Louisiana, Biographical and Historical: (New Orleans: The Gulf Publishing Company, 1891), p.72. openlibrary.org.
