Connell Fort
Connell Miles Fort, Sr. (October 3, 1867 – February 27, 1937), was a businessman and newspaperman who served from 1922 to 1926 and again from 1932 to 1934 as the mayor of the small city of Minden, the seat of government of Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana.
==Background==
Fort was born in rural Bellevue in Bossier Parish, located west of Minden, to Thomas Moore Fort (1820–1887), a lawyer originally from Twiggs County, Georgia, and the former Martha Ann "Mattie" Connell (1835–1927), a native of Columbus, Mississippi. The couple married in 1856 in nearby Fillmore in eastern Bossier Parish. In 1872, Thomas and Mattie Fort moved to Minden to rear their family.〔Earlene Mendenhall Lyle, ''The Minden Cemetery: A Peaceful Resting Place,'' Self-published, June 2004, p. 4〕 T. M. Fort, or "Colonel Fort", as he was known, was mayor of Minden from 1875 to 1876, when terms were for one year each. T. M. and Connell Fort are apparently the only father-son mayors of the city, at least since 1868; records before that date are fragmentary or nonexistent.〔City of Minden, List of Mayors since 1868〕
In 1901, Connell Fort married the former Ellie Miles (1873–1913), a native of South Carolina. The Forts had a daughter, later Mary F. Barnes of Shreveport, and five sons, Connell Miles Fort, Jr. (1902–1975),〔"Connell Miles Fort, Jr., dies in Shreveport", ''Minden Press-Herald'', March 4, 1975, p. 10〕 Thomas L. Fort, John L. Fort, Carlton A. Fort, and Owen Fort, all of Minden. John Fort (1906–1992)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Social Security Death Index )〕 and his wife, Louise B. Fort (1906–2000),〔 operated the former Fort's News Stand, which was located for many years on Main Street in Minden next to a barber shop.〔
In 1920, some seven years after Ellie's death, Connell Fort married the former Jessie Beopple. From that union came three more children. Bennard Moore Fort (1921–1945) died at sea during World War II, attached to the ' in the Battle of Iowa Jima.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Residential/Homes (A-L) )〕〔There is a cenotaph of Bennard Moore Fort in the Minden Cemetery.〕 The two younger Fort children were George W. Fort (1924–2005) and Katherine Virginia Fort, later Katherine Virginia Elliott (1922–2011), the last surviving child of Connell Fort.〔
