Jean-Louis DELAPORTE
Homme politique, érudit, philanthrope
Troyes 28 novembre 1796, Montier-en-Der 29 octobre 1870
Fils d’un apothicaire, il est pharmacien rue Notre-Dame à Troyes
jusqu’en 1834. Très proche de son cousin germain François-Joseph Audiffred, il laisse le
souvenir d’un célibataire, bourgeois aisé et généreux. Esprit de caractère
indépendant, catholique progressiste, dévoué au bien général. Philanthrope,
humaniste, homme des lumières, il étudie de multiples sujets : lutte
contre la pauvreté, agriculture, médecine, éducation populaire, économie,
statistique. Il participe à de
nombreux comités et associations pour
concrétiser ses engagements : Comité de propagation de l’enseignement
mutuel, conseils de salubrité publique, création des salles d’asile et des
cours d’adultes…
Membre actif de la
société académique de l’Aube de 1820 à 1850, il y présente de nombreuses communications. Conseiller
municipal de Troyes, conseiller général, libéral puis républicain modéré, il
est élu député en 1848, ses votes témoignent de sa liberté de pensée et le
rendent inclassable : il vote pour les poursuites contre Louis Blanc,
contre l’abolition de la peine de mort, contre le droit au travail, mais est contre l’interdiction des clubs, pour la
mise en liberté des transportés. Il soutient la candidature du général
Cavaignac et s’oppose au Président de la République, futur Napoléon III dont il
demande la mise en examen. Contesté également par la gauche radicale pour son
soutien à la répression ouvrière en juin 1848, il quitte la vie politique en
1849, et partage sa vie entre Montier-en-Der et Paris. Il lègue à Troyes 4 000
francs pour récompenser des travaux contribuant à améliorer la situation de la
population ouvrière et il donne à Montier en Der sa bibliothèque
encyclopédique.
Ces deux villes honoreront sa mémoire, en attribuant son nom
à une rue.
