  Notes	This narrative following was published in 1914 by Alcée Fortier (3.176): He was born at New Orleans, Sept. 11, 1876, the son of Alphonse and Marie (Couret) Gamard, both of whom were born in the same city as the son, the father in 1846 and the mother in 1848. In the course of his education Edward Alphonse Gamard attended the Jesuit college in the city of his nativity, and after completing his studies at that institution entered the boys' high school in the same city, from which he graduated in 1895, following which he matriculated in the dental department of the University of Maryland, graduating with the degree of D. D. S. in the class of 1899. Shortly following the completion of his professional studies Dr. Gamard established himself in offices at the city of New Orleans and began the practice of his profession, which has since engrossed his attention and been fruitful of gratifying results. On April 21, 1903, Dr. Gamard was married to Miss Amy Croker, daughter of the late Martin and Mary (Staples) Croker of Morgan City, La. To Dr. and Mrs. Gamard 3 children were born, namely: Lucille, Amy and Edward, Jr. They lived at 2941 Palmyra St, New Orleans, LA. The doctor was a member of the Roman Catholic church and affiliates with the Democratic party. He was also a member of the First and Second Districts Dental and the Louisiana State Dental societies.
