Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Louisiana, Vol. 1 (Chicago, IL: Goodspeed, 1892), p. 440 (Dr. C. A. Gaudet [#za11531], St. James Parish) {25838} Dr. C. A. Gaudet, physician and surgeon, New Orleans, La. The Gaudet family came originally from Lyons, France, and was among the first settlers on the Mississippi river, where numerous descendants now reside. One of the descendants of this prominent family, Dr. C. A. Gaudet, son of Michel D. Gaudet, was born in St. James parish, La., October 6, 1847. His father was an extensive sugar planter, and at the beginning of the Civil war he was an officer of the St. James chásseurs, who voted unanimously that he should stay at home to care for their wives and children, which office he reluctantly accepted and sealed his promise with all he possessed. Mr. Michel D. Gaudet died in New Orleans on the 4th of March, 1884, leaving seven sons and three daughters, five sons and three daughters now surviving. The paternal grandfather, Ursin Gaudet, was one of the most prominent men of St. James parish, and the maternal grandfather was a captain in the Mexican war. Dr. F. B. Gaudet, uncle of our subject, was one of the most celebrated physicians of New Orleans. He was president of the board of health of the state and assistant surgeon of Charity hospital after his return from his studies in Europe. He was also a native of St. James parish. Dr. C. A. Gaudet passed his boyhood in his native parish and in his fourteenth year left school and enlisted in the Winchester battery, Third Louisiana Field artillery, commanded by Major Squires, who is now a resident of St. Louis, Mo. Our subject surrendered to the federal forces at Alexandria, La., in June, 1885. He was the youngest of the artillery company. After cessation of hostilities C. A. Gaudet returned to his home in St James parish, resumed his classes, studied medicine and after receiving his degree in the University of Louisiana in 1869, left for Paris and Berlin to perfect himself in the art of medicine, returning in March, 1872, when he began practicing his profession, paying special attention to diseases of children. The Doctor is a member of the Orleans Parish Medical association, also of the State Medical association. Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Louisiana, Vol. 1 (Chicago, IL: Goodspeed, 1892), p. 440 (Jerome Louis Gaudet [#za12311], St. James Parish) {25823} Jerome Louis Gaudet, attorney, Convent, La. In the early settlement of St. James parish, La., and among the families who were closely identified with its material affairs, and associated with its progress and development, were the Gandets. A respected representative of this family is found in the subject of this sketch, who was born in this parish January 11, 1852, and has resided here all hip life. His father, grandfather and great-grandfather have all resided in St. James parish. The grandfather, Eugene Gaudet, was in the War of 1812, was at the battle of New Orleans, and his widow received a pension as late as 1872. This family is of French extraction, but came from Acadia. The father of our subject, Hon. Jerome Kleber Gaudet, was born December 17, 1818, studied law under Judge Winchester, and was admitted to the bar about 1848, since which time he has practiced his profession. He was a member of the legislature, state senate, and was a member of the constitutional convention of the seceding states. He was colonel of the militia commanded by Governor Moore, was formerly a whig in politics, but later a democrat. In connection with his law practice he also carried on planting for many years. He married Miss Amanda Landry, an estimable lady, whose death occurred in 1885. The fruits of this union were six children--three sons and three daughters--of whom Jerome Louis Gaudet was the eldest. The latter received his education in his native parish - 15 -
and when still a boy commenced the study of law under his father and Charles Andrew Johnson; also studied under Judge John H. Isley of New Orleans. He was admitted to the bar at New Orleans, before the supreme court of the state by Judge Ludeling and associates in 1874, and then commenced practicing with his father. He has practiced his profession since. Mr. Gaudet was a member of the school board from 1877 until 1880, and was secretary of the same. In the last named year he was appointed a member of the policy jury, and was president of that body until 1884, when he was elected district attorney of Ascension and St. James parishes, holding that position until 1888. On the 28th of May, 1877, he married Miss Evelina Cagnolatti, daughter of a prominent planter, Pierre Cagnolatti, and they are the parents of five children--two sons and three daughters. - 16 -
