penitentiary and a former sheriff of LaSalle parish, and a sister, Mrs.
H. A. Anders of Jena.  Mr. Drewitt was a native of Winn Parish.

(NOTE: Original spelling and punctuation have been kept. I'm sure the
last name should be spelled Drewett, as that is the spelling used by 
his descendants in records that I know of.  The Methodist church
mentioned, and cemetery where he is buried, is most certainly the
Nolley Memorial Methodist Church Cemetery in Jena, where his brother and
at least two of his descendants are buried.)
