Soulé, Frank, a well-known attorney of New Orleans, was born in that city, Sept. 11, 1871; a son of Col. George and Mary Jane (Reynolds) Soulé. The father was a native of the state of New York, and came to New Orleans before the war, where he founded Soulé's business college in 1856, which is regarded as one of the foremost commercial schools of its kind in the South. His wife, Mary Jane Reynolds, was born and reared in Mobile, Ala. Both father and mother are now living in the Crescent City. Frank Soulé received his early education in his father's school, and later entered Cornell university, graduating in 1892 with the degree of bachelor of letters. On leaving Cornell he returned to New Orleans, where he began the study of law at Tulane university, and in 1895 received his degree of LL. B. Mr. Soulé entered into professional practice in 1895 in his home city, and in 1897 formed a partnership with Mr. F. L. Richardson, which partnership still exists. He is also a notary public. He is a member of the Louisiana Bar association, and of the American Bar association, of the New Orleans Tennis club, the Country club, Boston club, and is affiliated fraternally with the Masonic order and Zeta Psi college fraternity. In 1902 Mr. Soulé was united in marriage to Edith, a daughter of George H. and Ida Kitchell (Miller) Blackwelder, of St. Louis, Mo. Her father is connected with the Holbrook-Blackwelder Real Estate Trust Co., of that city.
