Sanders McNaughton Buried Tuesday On March 17, 1930, death claimed another of the well-known and highly respected citizens of Winn Parish, when Mrs. Rhoda Sanders McNaughton passed away at the home of her son, Mr. Jesse McNaughton of Cold Water. Mrs. McNaughton, nee Rhoda Sanders, was born in Jackson Parish May 3, 1955, but moved to Winn when a girl, where she died March 17, 1930, being nearly seventy-six years of age. She was buried in Sanders Chapel March 18, at 12 p.m. the Rev. Wier, officiating. Mrs. McNaughton was a life long Methodist and lived and died in the faith of Jesus Christ. She never missed a chance to speak for her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. One of her last utterances was an admonition to her children to live for Jesus and to meet her in heaven. She was conscious to the last few moments of life and treated death as though she were going on a long trip. She was the mother of four boys and two girls, her eldest son having been buried only one week ago in the Sanders' Chapel graveyard. The following children survive: Jesse, Cold Water; Dennis, Winnfield; Milton, Cotton Valley; and Mrs. G. W. Lloyd of Tatum, Texas. Mrs. McNaughton was dearly beloved and is mourned by a host of friends. She wielded a fine influence for good to all of these and they are unstinted in their expressions of love and admiration for her. --------------1942BFA9FE2F4946E9D85481 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; charset=us-ascii; name="gedavies.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Greggory E.

W. Bailey, 1951, Winn Parish, LA Submitted by Greggory E.

Files may be printed or copied for personal use only. From: December 6, 1951 Winn Parish Enterprise ("Know Your Neighbor" column) B. W. Bailey Has Many Years Service to Public B. W. Bailey was born of Irish and English parentage on July 29, 1868, six and one half miles south of Winnfield on a small farm. He was the oldest of six children, his father having died in 1885. He, his mother, and the other members of the family continued to operate the farm. The first school Mr. Bailey attended was at a little one room log house in 1874 one and a half miles east of the old homestead taught by a Methodist preacher named White. There are only four survivors who attended that school of only two months. They are Joab L. Durham, Mrs. Cynthia Bazar, M. M. Melton, and B. W. Bailey. There were no schools at that time except a two months public school once about every third year, and an occasional subscription school. Mr. Bailey's school education was extremely limited. Whatever education he acquired was largely self taught. Mr. Bailey moved to Winnfield on October 1, 1890 as manager of a branch store of the Winn Parish Farmers Union Cooperative Association, a farmers organization and continued as such until the mercantile interests of the organization were thrown into receivership. He has resided in Winnfield ever since, being the oldest resident except Perry Able, now living. The People's Party, a new political party, was organized at Cincinnati in February, 1891, the late H. L. Brian, representing Louisiana. Weaver of Iowa was nominated for president and Field of Virginia for vice president. In April, 1891, at a convention in Alexandria the People's Party was organized in Louisiana, B. W. Bailey being a delegate from Winn Parish. In February 1892 a convention was held in Alexandria and R. L. Tannehill, of Winnfield, was nominated for governor. Mr. Bailey was also a delegate to that convention. On December 8, 1892 Mr. Bailey was married to Penelope H. Dickerson, daughter of John J. Dickerson, a pioneer sawmill man and farmer. To that union was born a daughter, the only issue to the union, on February 20, 1894. She was named for the famous Kansas orator, Mary Ellen Lease. She was married to Mr. L. Rickerson in 1917. In early 1893 Mr. Bailey purchased the Winn Parish Comrade from the late H. L. Brian and continued to operate it as a People's Party paper until 1907 when he disposed of it. Mr. Bailey was elected to the Constitutional convention of 1898. He introduced only one bill, and that bill contained what later became known as the "granddaddy clause" in the constitution which enabled any voter who registered under that clause to cast his vote. The People's Party at a convention held in Natchitoches in 1894 nominated Mr. Bailey for congress from the fourth district. He made a vigorous campaign, carrying 9 of the 12 parishes, being counted out in the black belt. The People's Party at a state convention held at Alexandria in February, 1896, named a coalition ticket, headed by a liberal sugar planter republican, of St. Mary, by the name of Captain John N. Pharr. The ticket carried every white parish in the state including the Parish of Orleans. The returning boards in the black belt held up returns until it was known how many votes were needed to elect the Democratic candidate, Murphy J. Foster, also from St. Mary. In 1899 the police jury of Winn Parish ordered an election to vote a 5 mill tax for 10 years to the L. R. & N. Railroad to construct a line from Aloha to Winnfield. Mr. Bailey organized the voters and fought a vigorous campaign against the tax, defeating it. In 1900 Mr. Bailey was elected sheriff of Winn Parish on the People's Party ticket, the only office in the state on that ticket. In 1902 Mr. Bailey organized the Winnfield Oil Company, and drilled the first oil well in the state. It was a non-producer. Mr. Bailey after retiring from the sheriff's office in June 1904 together with his wife opened the Comrade Hotel on the site now occupied by Jitney Jungle and continued to operate it until going with the Bank of Winnfield in May, 1913, as president. He filled that position until 1933 when the Bank was reorganized. In 1917 Mr. Bailey was elected chairman of the Liberty Loan, the United States having declared war on Germany in April. Winn Parish over subscribed her quota in every call made by the government. In 1919, after the signing of the armistice with Germany by the associated powers, Mr. Bailey spearheaded a drive for the voting of a million dollar bond issue by Winn Parish for road improvement. The bond issue was approved and as a result today Winn Parish has more hard surface road mileage than any parish in the state in proportion to area and population. In 1920, Mr. Bailey organized the Lone Star Trail Association with the late Henry E. Hardtner as president. The Association had for its purpose the location of a transcontinental highway connecting the two oceans. An optical survey was made by the late H. L. Brian and J. M. Hughes, a Texas, from San Augustine to Los Angeles and marked by steel markers. The road is now completed, passing through Winnfield, holding practically to route thus surveyed. Mr. Bailey conceived the idea fifty years ago of the creation of a game and fish preserve by the damming of the Saline Bayou just below the confluence of the Saline and Black Lake bayous, converting the vast swamps of two bayous into a lake. His idea was to make it a federal preserve. He sold the idea to Representative Aswell who was a member of congress. He introduced a bill, asking for an appropriation of $50,000 and referred the bill to the agricultural committee. It returned a unanimous favorable report. Aswell wired Mr. Bailey the bill could not pass until the state legislature passed an act dedicating the state owned lands needed for the water bottoms. The legislature was then in session the first term of the late Huey P. Long as governor. The bill passed the lower house and was defeated in the senate. Mr. Bailey wired Aswell to withdraw the bill, which he did. Mr. Bailey lost the first round in the fight. Undaunted he returned to the fight, shifting from a federal to a state project. He succeeded in organizing sufficient force when the bill went before the legislature in 1928 that it passed, carrying an appropriation of $ 100,000. The damn across the Saline Bayou was completed in 1932 at a cost in the excess of $11,000 and the lake this created covered an estimated area of 35 square miles. These are the highlights of a man who has spent his life in Winn Parish, fighting for the development of __________, and a fuller recognition of the plights of the underprivileged, the abolition of poverty and the elevation of the intellectual development of all people. Mr. Bailey is a very confirmed believer in universal peace, but he is convinced there can be no peace with justice until the present ruling authority in Russia has been destroyed, either by the workings of internal or external forces, and the rule of the vast empire placed in the hands of the people administered on a democratic basis. It might be added in passing that Mr. Bailey is a man of wide reading experience, and that he is among the best posted men in the state on economics. Due to advancing age and ill health Mr. Bailey has retired from all public activity and spends his time at home with his family, chatting with the few friends who call upon him and reading current literature as well as to spend a little time with the classics. --------------363F92D25EE26C6F65F8A838--

Walsworth Has 23 Years' Service An experienced law enforcement officer in Winn Parish is G. M. "Miley" Walsworth, who has 23 years' service in the Winn Parish Sheriff's Department. The 58 year old lawman has served as chief deputy under three sheriff's since beginning in 1928. Deputy Walsworth began his career in the sheriff's office about six months before W. T. Heflin went out of office. He served during the 16 year period when Bryant Sholars was sheriff and has proved himself an asset to the present force under Sheriff C. M. "Preacher" Robinson for the past two years. He had no formal training for law enforcement work before beginning, but has gained from practical experience and from instructions given at several law enforcement clinics conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI clinics give instructions in how to handle criminals, how to shoot a gun, how to handle a gun safely, and other phases of law enforcement work, including transporting convicts to the state penitentiary. His duties as chief deputy keep Mr. Walsworth busy during working hours, which last many times well past the ordinary citizen's working hours. Besides field work, patrolling, making arrests, answering calls, etc., Deputy Walsworth serves summonses in criminal and civil lawsuits, serves in court, and other work. Mr. Walsworth considers himself lucky that he has never been injured at the hands of criminals during his long period of service. He stated in an interview that he has had a gun pointed at him several times but always managed to get off without being shot. Once during the war, it fell his lot to arrest an Oklahoma soldier who had deserted the Army. Deputy Walsworth went to ward five, where the soldier was hiding, to make the arrest. When found, the soldier had a .22 caliber rifle, which he leveled at the lawman. "He threw the gun on me," said Mr. Walsworth, "but I got it off in a hurry." He brought his man in and delivered him to Army authorities at Camp Livingston, and sat in on his court martial, which sentenced the soldier to 20 years at hard labor in a Federal penitentiary. Before beginning his career in the sheriff's office, Mr. Walsworth worked as a commissary clerk for Tremont Lumber Company in Old Joyce. He is married to the former Laura Sholars, and they have four children, three of whom are living. None of the three sons followed in law enforcement work. G.M., Jr., is in the insurance business in Fort Worth, Texas. Douglas, the next son, was killed during World War Two on New Guinea. The other sons, Lamar, is party chief for a Conroe, Texas oil exploration company. The only daughter, the former Ella Jean Walsworth, is married to Roger Smith, and they live in Houston, Texas. The Walsworths own their home on West Court Street in Winnfield. --------------B1AF1A9FD6A5B789DCEC63D5--

Ray, Mayor Signing a contract with Louisiana Power and Light Company for receiving two percent of gross revenues from electric current, and an agreement for the installation of 21 street lights on the streets of Calvin was the first official business transacted following its incorporation as the Village of Calvin last week. C. L. Ray, named the first Mayor of Calvin, signed the agreements with Louisiana Power in a meeting with the Village council last Friday night. Louisiana Power will return two percent of gross revenues over to the Calvin village treasury. Louisiana Power previously had customers in Calvin, on the basis of agreements with individual users. The new agreement, under the incorporation, gives them the franchise for operating power lines in Calvin. Street lights are to be installed with the next two weeks at a flat rate of 75 cents per month per light. At present, there are about 70 electric subscribers in Calvin. Members of the Calvin Board of Alderman are Jesse Shelton, Bob Carpenter, and W. S. Carter, Sr., with C. L. Ray, Mayor. Charlie Canerday is village marshal, and Chester Chandler acting attorney. Articles of incorporation were signed by Governor Earl Long October 2. The corporate limits extend one and one-half miles east and west and one-half mile north and south, using the same boundaries laid off by the Louisiana and Arkansas Railway survey made in 1916, after Calvin was made a mail stop on the first L & A line through that territory in about 1903. The village was first called Carter, but was later changed due to another stop further up the line with the same name. (I believe this statement to be in error; the change from Carter was due to confusion between 'Castor' and 'Carter,'.) It received its name from Calvin Carter, who owned the land on which the town was laid off. Some of the first businesses in the village were owned by Ben Teddlie, Sill Milam, and C. Martin. The first post office in Calvin was established soon after the coming of the railroad. At present, Calvin was one of the five high schools in the parish, with the school ranking second among the four rural high schools. Calvin, the fourth incorporated municipality in the parish, has a population of 234 persons in the corporate limits. --------------644FA889BEDA264120A4E48F--

Jones, Ward Four timber contractor, is completing his first term as police juror from that ward, and is entering his second term without opposition. Mr. Jones was born and reared in Winn Parish, and stated this week that he has found no better place than Winn Parish to live and rear a family. He has seven children.

He contracts cutting and hauling timber to Mansfield Hardwood Lumber Company in Winnfield. Previously, he worked directly for Mansfield, and before this, contracted logging. He has lived in Winn Parish continuously since 1925. Mr. Jones said, "I have tried it several places, but Winn Parish is the best place I've found anywhere to live and raise my family." After coming back to Winn in 1925, Mr. Jones was engaged in truck farming, raising sweet potatoes and cabbage plants. In 1934 he began contracting logging. He has 270 acres of land, about 50 acres of which is under pasture. Much of his land is denuded timber land, and is reseeding.

Under his leadership, the first canning kitchen in the parish, at Cypress Creek, was started. He stated that as much heavy hauling as he has done, and is doing, over Winn Parish roads, he feels that he is qualified to serve as police jury member. "I appreciate the courtesy and cooperation of the people in my ward, and the parish, for electing me a second term without opposition," Mr. Jones said. He stated he plans to continue improving the road system where necessity deserves, and to see after all duties of the police jury to the best of his knowledge. --------------D7083E0EB13C565105D777A3--
