reelected in 1940.  As part of his duties as police juror he was a member of
the Winn Parish Library Board.

The deceased is a member of the Lewis Chapel Methodist Church near Pleasant
Hill and served as steward in the church organization.  He held membership in
the Charles F. Buck Masonic Lodge No. 260, F. & A. M. at Urania.
