Webre, Joseph
L., D. D. S., Macheca building, New Orleans, was born at Donaldsonville,
Ascension parish, La., April 16, 1885; son of Dr. Theo. S. and Cecile (Bouchre)
Webre, both of whom were natives of St. James Parish, La. The father was
for many years a practicing dentist of the city of Donaldsonville, and was
also interested in planting. He passed away in 1898 and the mother in
1910. Seven children were born to the parents, namely: Berthele, Irma, S.
A. Webre, a practitioner of dentistry at Donaldsonville; Joseph L.,
Bertha, Cecile, Theo. L., also in dental practice at Donaldsonville.
Joseph L. Webre, in the course of his academic and professional education,
graduated from high school in the city of his birth and later attended the
University of Tennessee, graduating with the degree of D. D. S. in the
class of 1897. Soon after the completion of his professional studies the
young doctor began practice as a dentist at Gonzales, Ascension parish,
and during the ensuing 5 years remained at that location. At the
expiration of that time, however, he found it desirable to move his
offices to Donaldsonville, where he was in practice about 7 years. In 1909
he went to New Orleans for a term of 2 years as instructor in the
Louisiana State college of dental surgery, following which he established
himself as a dental surgeon in the city of New Orleans, where he has since
remained in practice, finding it necessary to give his undivided attention
to the calls of his profession. Dr. Webre affiliates with the Roman
Catholic church, and is a member of Donaldsonville lodge No. 1153,
Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; the Redmen fraternity, and
Independent Order Odd Fellows, all of his fraternal memberships being at
Donaldsonville. June 8, 1904, Dr. Webre was married to Miss Mattie J.
Keating, daughter of Joseph M. and Sarah (Boudreaux) Keating, all natives
of Donaldsonville, La. Mrs. Webre's father is a commercial salesman, and
makes his home in New Orleans. Dr. and Mrs. Webre have one child,
Dorothy Marie, by name.
