In 1944, Jonas "Man" Perrin (L) and Aldon "Shug" LeBlanc (R) are photographed together following a surprise meeting in Hawaii during World War II. Although they were assigned to different Navy ships at the time, Aldon saw Jonas walking down a sidewalk across the street from him and started calling out in his native French: "Perrin, Perrin." Jonas recognized the accent of his old friend "Shug" and they enjoyed a heart-warming visit together talking about their family and friends from their home in Erath.

In 1895, a Roman Catholic Church named Our Lady of Prompt Succor was established on lands donated by William Cade to the west in nearby Bancker, which was the center of four plantations on the Vermilion River. Its first pastor was Fr. F.C. Elast. Today, the site is a four-acre memorial park with a restored grotto, picnic area, and an elevated boardwalk leading to Bancker Cemetery. In 1939, the church and rectory were dismantled board by board and then rebuilt in Henry on land acquired from Thomas B. Delino and renamed St. John the Evangelist. This photo, circa 1930, was taken by Miss Lillian Cade, who was a long-time first grade teacher at Henry High School. The photo, which has not been verified, was shared with us by Yvonne Broussard Simon.

(1921)
This is a picture of William and Odile Broussard Cade, sitting in their yard in Bancker the day of the marriage of their son Alphé Broussard to Odile Cade. Interestingly, Odile Broussard married a Cade and Odile Cade married a Broussard.

This photograph was taken in the early 20th century on Marsh Island by Dr. Louis Leonpacher, pilot, veterinarian, photographer, adventurer and pioneer, who piloted his airplane (partiality seen in the background) to the remote island to vaccinate cattle of the Broussard brothers from the Henry community. Pictured mounted on their horses are Henry M. Perrin, 3rd from the left, Aristide Broussard, 4th from the left, Aurelien Broussard, 6th from the left, and the three Green brothers, who are to the right. Leonpacher, a native of Germany, was known as the "flying vet." Photo courtesy of Jonas Perrin.
