DAVE WITHAN

Born in Baden, Germany in December 1860 and after receiving a high school 
education left the old country at the age of 13 to try for his fortune in 
the New World. He first settled in Tennessee. Here he remained for two 
years plus his majority, when he conceived that Louisiana was a better 
place and Plaquemines Parish best of all, He liked the place and stayed. 
He is now engaged in the mercantile business in the 8th Ward, which he has 
represented in the capacity of his present incumbency being re-elected as 
an independent Democrat. Mr. Witham, long ago married and is the father of
