Puffy’s Legacy
Ethel Blanche Claiborne Dameron (“Puffy”) was born and raised in New Roads, Louisiana. Her husband Irving was in the levee construction business with his Father, so they moved along with their four children from state to state. Following in her Father’s pattern of “being involved”, Puffy began her civic endeavors in earnest once the family settled at Sandbar Plantation in Port Allen, Louisiana. The development of the West Baton Rouge Library and West Baton Rouge Historical Association/Museum along with the honoring of Henry Watkins Allen, the erection of State Historic markers, and the enrollment of live oaks in the Live Oak Society are just a few of the many events recounted in “Puffy’s Legacy.” As an 8th generation descendent of Col. William Claiborne, her legacy to the Parish and State of Louisiana lives on and continues to grow today.
