"August Louie is now practically living retired, supervising
his invested interests, which includes a fine cattle ranch in
Colorado. He makes his home in Council Bluffs, which is
far distant from the place of his nativity, for he was
born in Lunevilles, Lorraine, France, December 7, 1847.
His father was John B. Louie, a native of Bononinile,
France, born in the early part of the nineteenth century
and in his native country he was a construction timber
contractor.
Coming to America, he settled at Joliet, Illinois,
in 1854, and after more than a third of a century
there passed he removed to Council Bluffs in 1887,
and died in this city in August, 1902. His wife died
in 1863, aged fifty-one years, when her son August
was but sixteen years of age. Her maiden name
was Catherine Michel.
August Louie acquired but a meager education in the country
schools near Joliet, but later attended a night school in
Chicago. Having put aside his text-books, he engaged in the
confectionery and catering business, and in 1874 he removed
to Council Bluffs, where for many years he was connected
with Alphonse Metzger in the catering business on Broadway.
In this he was very successful, a liberal patronage
being accorded the firm, so that year after year his
financial resources increased. In 1900 he withdrew from
the business, being succeeded by his son, Gustave Louie.
He has an interest in a large cattle ranch in Logan
county, Colorado, and has spent considerable time
during the past seven years in looking after that
enterprise, but has severed all business connections
with Council Bluffs.
Mr. Louie was married September 26, 1876, at
St. Joseph, Missouri, to Miss Leontine Cellone,
who was born in Nauvoo, Illinois, June 4, 1857,
and is of French parentage. Her father, Pierre
Cellone, was born in Marseilles, France, devoted
his business life to the manufacture of shoes and
several years ago passed away. (He might be the shoemaker in 1870 and 1880 St. Louis, Missouri.)
His wife bore the
maiden name of Virginia Victoria Henri,
and was born in Nantes, France, March 12, 1835.
After losing her first husband, she became the
wife of Bernard Edward Campardon at
St. Joseph, Missouri, in August, 1889 (probably 1869).
He was a native of Garos, France, born
March 2, 1838, and died in Council Bluffs,
January 6, 1878, while Mrs. Campardon passed away in this
city in 1901.
Unto Mr. and Mrs. Louie has been born
a son, Gustave Alexander, whose birth occurred
July 19, 1877. He was educated in the common schools of
Council Bluffs, finished a course at Notre Dame, Indiana,
in the class of 1893 and in 1896 was appointed a member
of the Missouri river commission, on which he served
for five years. He then became his father's
successor in the general catering business as a member of the firm of Metzger & Company
at Nori, 523-5-7 West Broadway.
In 1906 the firm erected the largest and
most up-to-date baking establishment in the west at No. 516 Mynster street
The output of this concern includes four thousand loaves of bread daily,
besides large amounts of cake and other bakery goods, employing about
twenty people.
Gustave Louie was married in Council Bluffs, August 7,
1899, to Miss Maybelle Bouquet, a daughter of Paul and Mary Bouquet,
early settlers of Council Bluffs. Her father is a real-estate dealer in Omaha.
The daughter was born in this city July 9, 1877, was educated in Council
Bluffs and is a graduate of the high school of the class of 1895. She holds
membership in the Presbyterian church and in the Order of the Eastern
Star, and Gustave Louie belongs to the Masonic fraternity and to the Elks
lodge. Unto him and his wife has been born one child, Leontine Marie,
born in Council Bluffs, December 4, 1901.
Mr. Louie and his son with their families reside at No. 601 Mynster
street, this beautiful property being owned by August Louie, who also has
considerable other realty interests in Council Bluffs. Both he and his son
are republicans in politics. He deserves much credit for what he has accom-
plished, his advancement in the business world being attributable entirely
to his own labors. He has brooked no obstacles that could be overcome by
determined purpose and unfaltering energy and as the years passed by he
utilized his opportunities to the best advantage, making a creditable name
for himself in industrial circles and winning the success that now enables
him to live retired without denying himself any of the comforts of life,
while at the same time he is provided with not a few of its luxuries.

Fitzgibbon, vaudeville actor, in Justice Aspinall's part of the Supreme Court. Wilma Parks, of Oakland, is named as co-respondent, and is alleged to have traveled all over the country with Fitigibbon as his wife. Mrs. Fitzgibbon says her husband earns a year, and asks $100 a week alimony, and $750 counsel fees. Justice Aspmall reserved decision.
Mrs. Fitzgibbon charges cruel and inhuman treatment. She says they were
married on October 11, 1907, but separated three years later by agreement.
They have one child, Charlotte A. In May of last year, she charges,
her husband struck her, and loosened two teeth. On other occasions,
she says, he created scenes in public places because of what she terms
"insane jealousy". The grounds for the divorce are said to have been
obtained on June 3, when Mrs. Fitzgibbon, in company with two men friends,
visited Henrie Court, at 812-316 West Forty-eighth street where,
she claims, she found the corespondent and her husband in dress that would
indicate undue intimacy. Fitzgibbon said he was willing to give his wife
$50 a week for eleven weeks and $25 a week until the suit is brought to
trial. "
