JEAN DOMEC, ARNAUDVILLE.--The subject of this sketch is a native of France, born February 9, 1848. His father, John Louis Domec, was a native of France and spent his whole life in that country. Our subject's mother was Miss Jennie Frechen, also a native of France.

John Domec was reared in his native country and received his education from good private schools. He began life as a farmer and was for nine years engaged on his father's farm in France. He was subsequently engaged in the same business for himself for two years, at which time he emigrated to America and located in St. Landry parish, near Grand Coteau, where he purchased a plantation and began planting, which he continued for a period of eighteen ears. He then removed to St. Martin parish and purchased a tract of land of eighteen hundred acres, eight hundred of which are under cultivation. He raises cotton chiefly. Mr. Domec was married to Miss Ozemia Lier, of St. Landry parish. To them have been born three sons and two daughters: viz.: Firmin, Louis, Hypolite, Alice, Clara.

Mr. Domec is one of the most extensive and successful planters in this section.^[2]
