Sub-Series D2: Honors, certificates, mementos, etc.
Scope and Contents
The materials in this collection were donated after Collection 97 was processed, so they are placed in a supplemental collection. The contents are very similar to what is in Coll. 97 so the arrangement is comparable. Collection 97.1 includes many items related to the book Acadia Parish: A History to 1900 by Fontenot and Paul Freeland.
Mary Alice Fontenot Riehl and her daughter, Julie Landry, donated these papers.
