E. D. Gleason
Ernest Dewey Gleason, known as E. D. Gleason (September 9, 1899 – July 25, 1959),〔Minden Cemetery records, Minden, Louisiana〕〔There is a possibility that, despite the gravestone label, Gleason was born on September 9, 1900; he was not listed in the 1900 U.S. Census with his family, which would have been the case had he been born in 1899; his World War I draft card reveals he was born in 1900.〕 was a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from the Evergreen Community north of Minden in Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana. Gleason served from 1952 until his death at the end of his second term. He was briefly succeeded in office by his widow, Mary Smith Gleason, who was appointed for the remaining eight months by then Governor Earl Kemp Long.
==Background==
Gleason was born in Shongaloo in central Webster Parish to William Thomas Gleason (February 18, 1868 – September 14, 1947), a planter and banker,〔"W. T. Gleason, Planter, Banker, Succumbs Sunday", ''Minden Herald'', September 18, 1947〕 and the former Ida Camille Lunsford (November 7, 1867 – December 4, 1909), who is interred at Cotton Valley Cemetery in nearby Cotton Valley.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ida Camille Lunsford Gleason )〕 His mother died when Gleason was about ten years of age. His father remarried. Gleason's stepmother was the former Annie Craton (April 15, 1877 – February 18, 1952), the aunt of the 38-year Webster Parish tax assessor, Richard B. Garrison (1916-1991), businessman William Banks Craton (1904-1989), and the Minden banker James Aubrey Craton (1908-1999).〔
Gleason graduated in 1918 from Cotton Valley High School north of Minden. The school closed in 2011. He worked in Caddo Parish from 1919 to 1935, when he began to manage his own farm at Evergreen. He was subsequently named vice president of the Webster Parish Farm Bureau.〔"Gleason Is Juror Candidate", ''Minden Herald'', December 10, 1943, p. 1〕
Gleason ran unsuccessfully in 1944 for the Webster Parish Police Jury, having been defeated by a 20-vote margin by the incumbent J. L. Munn, who served from 1936 to 1952.〔''Minden Herald'', January 15, 1944, p. 1〕 After the police jury candidacy, the Gleasons lost one of their three sons, Thomas D. Gleason (August 7, 1924 – November 17, 1944), to hostile action in the United States Army Air Corps during World War II.〔
