The family came from Georgia originally, James P. Pye was born in Georgia but afterward went
to Texas and thence in Louisiana.  He married Amanda E. Boone.  They reared a large family of
children.  The wife died in March, 1905, but he is still living.  He has always been a farmer, but
the boys have all gone into commercial life, mostly into banking and insurance.

H. T. Pye was born near Weatherford, Texas, and was reared in that State and in Louisiana and
was educated in the common schools and in Mt. Lebanon College.  His education has been
intensely practical and he has made it tell powerfully in his chosen vocation, that of banking.  

Mr. Pye is beyond question the successful and influential individuals in Winnfield and the parish. 
He is president of the Bank of Winnfield and is much devoted to his calling as any man to be
found.  He is an excellent judge of credits, well versed in business demands and methods and his
decisions in his line are accepted with unusual weight.  The bank is regarded as one of the best
institutions in the country, enjoying remarkable solidarity and dividend paying qualities. 

Mr. Pye is a Baptist, a Mason, and Knights Templar.  He thinks this section is destined to greater
development and that good roads and intensive farming feasible.  

Mr. Pye would be a useful man in any community.

He married Miss Inda Leslie and they have one of the elegant homes in Winnfield.  One little girl
graces the charmed circle and altogether manifest concord reigns in its every feature.
