 UL Lafayette: Library: Special Collections: Paul Debaillon
(Many C. Mouton related items were probably placed in the regional history subsection on politics and law as they had no apparent direct connection with Mouton.) There is even a very small collection of Paul Debaillon personal papers almost all of which date from 1930s.
At the time the organization of the collection is somewhat artificial since it is very hard to distinguish the relationship of material to the Mouton Family.
Similarly, it is very difficult to distinguish between Debaillon's notes dealing with Mouton family land ownership and those designed to illuminate the early land development of Vermilionville.
