"About the schoolhouse: There's lots of neat history concerning this building that I'd like to look into. My father was born in 1919, so he must've been in school there in the 20's and early 30's." Jacqueline |
| Jacqueline adds, "My father's name was Arthur Husser and my grandfather was Simon Husser Sr. and my great grandfather was Joseph Husser who was a brother to the postmaster of this post office when it was built in 1888. His father was Lawrence Husser from Germany." |
| Probably ANTOINE LAWRENCE "Babe" HUSSER |
| "Most of the information here was provided by Cora "Tootie" Husser in a letter to her great nephew for a school project in 1989." |

| Southeastern Louisiana becomes dairy country above the Northshore and below the forestry zone. This stucture is found on La.40, just west of Folsom. |
| A predominant stucture in tree country. The fire watch tower. Found on 437 above Blond and almost to Enon. |
| On my visits to my daughter's I leave I-12 and travel up La 445 and then turn onto La.40 and continue on into Folsom. I always wondered what was up 445. So, I went to check it out. It is a beautiful road, as most in this area are. The star of this exploration would be Husser. It appears to be just a bend in the road as most of the small towns which are off the beaten path have become. I saw a few picture opportunities and stopped. I thought they were interesting, if not photographic excellence. So, I posted them on this picture site. Then, I got a note from Jackqueline. The place came alive. That's all it takes. So, I'll let her research and comments explain the following: |
