Biographical / Historical
Leon Z. Boudreaux (1865-1946) operated a retail business in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. Between approximately 1912 and 1926, he was the proprietor of the Laurel Valley Plantation Store. His sons operated mobile "rolling stores" across Lafourche Parish. Later he moved his business away from the Laurel Valley Store (possibly due to the decline of the Plantation) to the Lafourche Crossing area.
