“ Adam Guedry, a successful planter of Ascension Parish, La., is a native born resident of this parish, his birth occurring in 1840. He passed his schoolboy days here and after reaching mature years started out to fight his way in life as a cooper, locating three miles above Donaldsonville, La. He followed this business for about five years, and then began merchandising on New river. One year later, or 1861, he enlisted from St. John Baptist parish in the confederate army and was in the battles of Baton Rouge, Jackson, Chattanooga and others. He was taken prisoner at Jonesboro, the same night as the fall of Atlanta, and was held nine months at Camp Douglas, Chicago. He held the rank of sergeant. Returning home after cessation of hostilities, he again began mechandising and continued this for four years when he closed out and began planting. He owns 125 acres of good land and raises cotton and sugar cane, having a gin and a sugar-house on his place.
