Charles H. Dupuy, planter, Plaquemine, La. Mr. Dupuy, whose brother is the subject of the preceding sket.ch, was born in Iberville parish, near where he now resides, on the 17th of January, 1849, and is of French descent. Of the seven children born to his parents he was sixth in order of birth, and was educated in the schools of Plaquemine. He remained with his mother until twenty-four years of age, and then acted as overseer for J. S. Tuttle for two years. He subsequently became the owner of Centennial plantation, which is an excellent one, though small, and in every thing connected with its management he is thorough and painstaking. Mr. Dupuy selected as his companion in life Miss Bevin, a native of Iberville parish, and their union was celebrated in 1874. They are the happy parents of three children, all daughters. Mr. Dupuy and family are members of the Catholic church. He takes an active part in politics and is an active worker for the democratic party. He is a man of sound judgment, good business ability, and is held in high esteem in his community. His ancestors were among the first to settle on Plaquemine bayou and the family has ever held a worthy place in the history of this country.
