Battle Flag
of the
28th Thomas' Regiment Louisiana Infantry
...Flag design is based on a small torn section
of a regimental battle flag which is on display in the
Confederate Museum, New Orleans, Louisiana.
Usually when a regiment was disbanded
the flag was torn into ten pieces and a piece given
to each of the ten company commanders.
(Placement of Battle Inscriptions is specualtive
and based on similar Confederate battle flags
of the same period.)

 Emile Evariste Lauve: In 1890 he was the proprietor and

Bayou Lafourche. He was also a member of the police jury,
ward 8 of Assumption Parish. Emile was born in Iberville parish on
30 May 1839, the son of Norbert A. and Amelia (Dupuy) Lauve,
natives of Natchitoches and Iberville parishes respectively.

Capt. Lauve was the fourth son in a family of five sons and one
daughter. He received his education in Jefferson college but left that
institution one year short of graduation due to his father's illness and he
returned home to take over the operation of the families Celeste plantation.

In 1862, Capt. Lauve organized Company H, 120 man strong
which became part of the 28th. (Thomas') infantry. They were
in the siege and all the battles around Vicksburg but after were

Joseph Simonaud and they were the parents of two children, Joseph E.,
a graduate of Jefferson College and was a studying law with E. N. Pugh
