Ouachita Parish History Tidbits

Biographical Sketches of the European Immigrants of Northeast Louisiana, 1880-1900

The above book, compiled by William Francis and Debra Nance Lawrence in 1982, is a treasure trove of biographical information on northeast Louisiana European immigrants of the late 1800’s. I decided to share the names of the Ouachita Parish immigrants listed in it. The entries are mainly by the male’s name, but their families are extensively profiled. You can see the whole book in the Ouachita Parish Public Library’s Genealogy Department, call number GC 976.38 Law. Other parishes covered are: Catahoula, Concordia, Franklin, Tensas, East Carroll, Madison, West Carroll, Caldwell, Morehouse, Richland and Union.

    I would love to read the entry about Ernest Fudickar and family. Unfortunately I’m in Indiana.

      Page 98: Ernest Fudickar: [29] born 1 January 1857; Germany; arrived in Monroe in 1880; retail grocer in the early 1880s; he owned a grocery, mercantile, and liquor store in 1885 located on South Grand Street in Monroe; he became a third owner of the Monroe Ice Factory in 1886; partner in J.L. Kaliski and Company (q.v.) in 1886; councilman for Monroe in 1888 and 1893; police juror, Third Ward of Ouachita Parish in 1896;
      Page 99: vice-president and manager of the Consolidated Ice Company of Monroe, agents for Schlitz Beer, in 1902; initial stockholder in both the Monroe Cotton Yarn and Bagging Factory (in 1888) and the Ouachita Valley Railway Company; died 17 November 1937 and was buried in the old Monroe City Cemetery; married Louise Brueckner 18 April 1882; she was born 20 February 1858 in Germany, died 16 March 1931, and was buried in the old Monroe City Cemetery; children included Frederick, Paul, Willie, and Annie Emma.

      Footnote 29: 1900 census, Ouachita Parish; Marriage of Ernest Fudickar, 16 April 1882, Ouachita Parish Marriage Book F, p. 407; Louisiana Commission Books, April 1896-December 1899, p. 209; Monroe (La.) Daily Telegraph, 28 October 1885, and 23 February 1886; Monroe (La.) Bulletin, 10 February 1886; Monroe (La.) Ouachita Telegraph, 8 September 1888, 20 October 1888, and 8 December 1888; Monroe (La.) Evening News, World’s Fair Issue, 15 May 1893; Monroe (La.) Telegraph-Bulletin, 8 July 1893; Monroe (La.) News, Illustrated Magazine Edition [ca. 1906]; and Louisiana Tombstone Inscriptions, 1:64.

      The (q.v.) means J.L. Kaliski has his own entry. Sure enough, in Kaliski’s entry on page 110, he is mentioned as being a business partner of Fudickar’s.
