The father was a sugar planter throughout his life. Both father and mother are now deceased, the father having died in 1899, and the mother in the summer of 1886. The paternal grandfather was born in Venice, Italy, and came to America at an early date, now more than 140 years ago. The paternal grandmother was of German parentage. They were married in Louisiana. Norbert Louque was married 3 times. By his first marriage, 1 son was born, Louis, by name.

George A. Louque attended Jefferson college, and after graduating from that institution, entered Vanderbilt university, Nashville, Tenn., from which he graduated with the class of 1886, degree of D. D. S. In 1888 he went to Central America, and there practiced dentistry 1 year. Returning to New Orleans, he established offices there and began the practice of his profession in that city, where his professional abilities have received such recognition as to bring him a constantly-increasing clientele and demand his undivided attention to this time.
