Felix Bachemin (25647265)
Suggested edit: The Felix Bachemin, Sr. family immigrated from New Orleans to Covington around the turn of this century. Covington had been their vacation ground. The Bachemin family had long been merchants in New Orleans having a haberdashery store on the corner of royal and canal Streets. Felix, Sr. commuted daily by train to his business, enjoying the wonderful time for socializing and also enjoying fine breakfasts upon arrival in this city.
Felix, Sr., born Sept 3, 1863 in New Orleans, built a good home on Military Road and it was not too long before he decided Covington should be his place of business also. Building a new store on Columbia Street where the Burns Dry Goods Store located, he operated with men's wear primarily.
Like his store, his home proved a fine asset to the community and it was often thought to be the Covington Youth Center with its many attractions for young people. Felix and Alzina Martin , born July 1, 1872 in New Orleans, had one child, Felix, Jr., and much was provided him to play and to learn. The children of the neighborhood all profited by the good tennis courts, pony, canoes, sulphur springs swimming and innumerable gatherings they enjoyed. Felix, Sr. was a non-nonsense man and it was well understood that all were welcome but the rules must be obeyed. Alzina was the gentle foil for this family. "Legends of Covington Cemetery No. 1" .
