David William Thomas
David William Thomas, Sr. (August 12, 1876 – August 1, 1961), was a Welsh-American "Renaissance man", journalist, publisher, university professor, poet, and attorney who served from 1936–1940〔City of Minden, List of Minden Mayors Since 1888〕 as mayor of the small city of Minden, the seat of government of Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana.
==Background==
A native of Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom, he was the son of David and Sarah Thomas. The Thomases entered the United States in 1883 and settled in Scranton, Pennsylvania, where young Thomas received his primary schooling. He was admitted to Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, at which he received an Ivy League education.〔 He is listed too as a 1904 graduate of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, field of study unspecified in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.
After college, Thomas was briefly a high school teacher and then a school principal in Lake Charles in Calcasieu Parish in southwestern Louisiana. After several years in Lake Charles, Thomas was hired as professor of Latin, Greek and journalism at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. At the time, LSU was located downtown on the site of the Louisiana State Capitol. While Thomas was a professor at LSU, several students from Minden, including future judge Harmon Caldwell Drew, were students there. Later, H. C. Drew's son, R. Harmon Drew, Sr., a judge and later state representative, was a pallbearer at Thomas's funeral, along with other prominent civic figures, including another mayor, John T. David.〔
