Soniat & Deblieu Climax - 2 truck No. Unknown

Posted by: Lynda DeBlieux Hlywiak on Apr 20, 2021 @ 13:04:28
My grandfather, John Dodd Deblieux Sr., was Vice President of Soniat & Deblieux Co in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish 1917-1924. In 1918 Soniat & Deblieux purchased land in Opelousas and moved the shingle mill from Krotz Springs. They built a sawmill with about 30,000 feet capacity. The mill purchased the Climax on July 22, 1919 from Southern Iron & Equipment Company in Atlanta, Georgia, Order 1028. Soniat & Deblieux owned about 70 million feet of hardwood stumpage-enough to keep both mills running for 10 years-and had plans to acquire other hardwood stumpage holdings. In 1924 my grandfather purchased all shares and holdings of Soniat & Deblieux Co., dissolved Soniat & Deblieux, and formed Deblieux Lumber Co; Inc. The Climax was sold in 1928. I have a photo of the Climax in front of the mill. If you will email me with your email address, I will send it to you. Lynda
