Henry Clay Sevier, Sr., known as Happy Sevier (January 24, 1896 – June 1, 1974), was a lawyer from Tallulah, Louisiana, who was from 1936 to 1952 a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from Madison Parish.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Membership in the Louisiana House of Representatives, 1812-2016 )〕 ==Political background==
Sevier was a descendant of John Sevier, a fighter in the American Revolution, an early governor of Tennessee, and the namesake of Sevierville in Sevier County in eastern Tennessee. His cousin was Louisiana State Senator Andrew L. Sevier, whose tenure extended from 1932 until his death in office in 1962.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sevier Family of Madison Parish, Louisiana )〕 In 1936, Sevier was elected to succeed fellow Democrat, Mason Spencer of Tallulah, the husband of another Sevier cousin, Rosa Vertner Sevier Spencer (1891-1978). Sevier's election occurred a few months after the assassination of Huey Pierce Long, Jr., and at the time there was much voter sympathy for the pro-Long faction.〔 The staunchly anti-Long Mason Spencer had announced that he would run for governor but withdrew before the election,〔 and victory went to the Longite choice, Richard Leche of New Orleans.
