Robert Howe Fletcher
Among the younger captains of industry in Winnfield none would deny Mr. Fletcher 
a place.  Industrious, aggressive, independent, successful.

He is a son of G. W. Fletcher, who was in turn a son of William Fletcher, well known 
in early Winn Parish.  The family came from Mississippi where G. W. was born.  He 
married Sibbie McCarty, a daughter of Uncle Allen McCarty, loved and honored in 
very direction.  They have been successful farmers in eastern Winn Parish.

Robert was born April 14, 1879, and educatedin the common schools.  He learned 
the lesson of faithful effort well, and though young has made himself felt in many roles.  
He has an enviable reputation as a business man and has for a period served on our city 
council.  In due time he married Miss May Corbitt and they live in their Winnfield home 
in comfort. 

Mr. Fletcher was reared on a Winn Parish farm, and thinks the greatest possibilities are 
just before us.  He is a Mason and enjoys respect and confidence of the entire community.  

Motto:  "Strict integrity, fair dealing and untiring industry."
