Submitted by Evelyn Corbett Cunningham, 9457 E. Montego Lane, Shreveport, LA 71118 evelyneva@aol.com Colfax Chronicle March 24, 1939 John W. Gaines, a highly respected colored citizen and well known in Grant parish and adjoining sections, died at his home in Montgomery Sat. night at the age of 70 years. He was born in Grant parish, in what is now the Tademy Settlement, in 1869. He was a teacher in the colored schools of this section for 51 years, most of his teaching was done in Grant parish, also taught in Winn, Natchitoches and Rapides parishes. Many of the Negro leaders of this section received their first lessons in school from him. The deceased had three children Willie Gaines of Detroit; Phillip Gaines of New Orleans and Susie Feld, deceased. He is survived by his wife, Alma Jackson. He was a faithful member of the Baptist church, which he joined at the age of 16. In obedience to the state law the aged teacher was retired from active school work at the close of last school session, but against the wishes of the school officials and his own people. John Gaines was a lover of the soil, and the first Negro in this area to attempt to teach his people agriculture. Whenever speaking to his people in masses he advised them to own a home, stick to soil and practice racial respect. In these he led the way owning a 100 acres of some of the best land in Rapides parish, as also a home and two acre lot in Montgomery. The white people of Grant and Rapides have this to say: "He was a good man." The people to whom he taught might say with the poet: "Thest of all the teachers, Are those who live their creeds, For to see good put into action, Is what everybody needs." P.J.
