Biographical notes:
The Louisiana Leper Home was established by the Legislature in 1894 for the detention of Louisiana residents affected with leprosy. It was placed in Iberville Parish, La., under the authority of the Home's Board of Control. The State sold the hospital to the Federal Government for $35,000 in 1920. On Jan. 3, 1921, it became the United States Marine Hospital No. 66, Carville, La., regulated by the United States Public Health Service.
