Harry Pollard Gamble Representative from Winn Parish The Gambles came from Tennessee, but their coming was quite a while since. E. J. Gamble, now of St. Maurice, La., is the father of our subject and was reared in Winn Parish and her sister parish Natchitoches. He is a merchant and planter and has been one of the recognized factors in the development of his section. Miss Annie Harrison was reared in Natchitoches Parish and in due time became the wife of Mr. Gamble and the mother of our subject. The Harrisons are widely known as a family of thrift and respectability. Harry was born Oct. 15, 1876 in Natchitoches Parish, near line of Winn. He was educated in the common schools and in the State University, where he graduated in 1896. In 1902 Mr. Gamble began the practice of law and has an enviable reputation as a lawyer and a lucrative practice. He at this time represents our parish in the State Legislature and stands for re-election. His record in politics justifies the hope among his friends of steady promotion. When a call to arms was made in the Spanish war, Mr. Gamble readily responded and became regimental adjutant on the staff of Col. Hood, of 2nd U. S. Volunteer Infantry, one of the ten immune regiments, organized for service in Cuba, and saw service on the Island for almost twelve months. He married the accomplished daughter of S. M. Brian, one of the former useful and influential citizens of the parish, Miss Edna. They have three children and a well ordered home in Winnfield and they are well situated in life. Mr. Gamble is a Mason, a member of the Elks and a Woodman. He thinks we will attain great prosperity in the immediate future from our railroads and manufactories and a more permanent progress later from intensive farming, good roads, etc., and their consequent blessings. Motto: "Work brings contentment; work for others besides one's self brings more contentment." Note: Mr. Gamble moved to New Orleans and started a prestigious law firm which is still in operation.
