GOURAUD (BARON), was made a Baron by Napoleon I, and was a Senator under
Napoleon III. "With his vast bulk, his bovine face, his elephantine

Bouteroue. The girl and her husband died of want, leaving two children,
Palmyre and Hilarion, whom their grandmother refused to assist. At
eighty years of age, respected and feared by the Fouan family, not for
her age but for her fortune, she exacted the obedience of all, and still
