BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORICAL NOTE
Henry L. Fuqua, Jr. (b. 1905), was the son of Henry L. Fuqua, Sr. (1865-1926), governor of Louisiana, 1924-1926, and Marie Laura Matta (1866-1968). He attended the University Demonstration School in Baton Rouge, graduating in 1924, and attended LSU, 1925-1927. He worked as a salesman at Fuqua Hardware until his participation in World War II, in which he served as technician fifth grade in the Pacific theater. He returned to Baton Rouge in 1947 and later moved to Tallulah, Louisiana.
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The materials are comprised of two collections, the Lytle Photograph Collection, ca. 1880-1915, and Papers, ca. 1863-1978. The photograph collection contains 8 x 10 mounted prints by Baton Rouge photographer Andrew David Lytle (1833-1917). They depict prison life and farming and manufacturing operations worked by the prisoners at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Baton Rouge, Angola State Farm in West Feliciana Parish, Hope State Farm on Bayou Teche, and a levee construction camp on the Atchafalaya River. They depict prison life and farming and manufacturing operations worked by the prisoners. There is also an enlarged charcoal portrait of James O. Fuqua by J. A. Decuir, artist.
The papers (ca. 1863-1978) contain a list of slaves on Mandamus plantation at the time of emancipation and the will of John H. Matta. The majority of the papers are genealogical materials of the Fuqua and related families. A compiled genealogy containing lineage, photocopies of death notices, marriage licenses, baptismal certificates, discharge papers, and transcriptions from municipal records and newspapers are included. Printed items include death notices, a campaign pamphlet from the 1923 governor’s election, a pamphlet about Third Street in Baton Rouge, and photocopies of newspaper clippings recording the deaths, birthdays and accomplishments of the Fuqua family and recounting the early history of Baton Rouge. In addition, there are letters from Fuqua’s cousins discussing family news and genealogical research. Photographs include carte de visites (19th century) of relatives taken by Lytle of Baton Rouge and Norman’s of Natchez, candid photographs, including some of Henry L. Fuqua in World War II, portraits of Henry L. Fuqua, Sr. and Laura Matta Fuqua, and photographs of Fuqua’s inauguration as governor. Ephemera include a railroad pass from the Baton Rouge, Grosse Tete, and Opelousas Railroad and enclosures from flower arrangements sent for Laura Matta Fuqua’s funeral. Also included are manuscript volumes and the Bible used to swear in Henry L. Fuqua, Sr. as governor.
