C. "Sonny" Gilbert (March 6, 1922 – November 21, 2014), was a cotton farmer and a former Democratic member of both houses of the Louisiana State Legislature from the town of Sicily Island in Catahoula Parish in northeastern Louisiana. Gilbert served three consecutive terms in the Louisiana State Senate from 1960 to 1972, having represented Franklin, Richland, and Catahoula parishes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Membership of the Louisiana State Senate since 1880 )〕 In 1972, Gilbert was elected for a single four-year term to the Louisiana House of Representatives from newly established District 21 (Catahoula and neighboring Concordia parishes).〔 He was allied with the anti-Long legislative faction. During the 1980s, as a retired lawmaker and a political conservative, Gilbert switched his party registration to Republican.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Click J C Gilbert, March 1922 )〕 ==Family background== Gilbert was born in Wisner in Franklin Parish to Jess Gilbert, I (1894–1923), and the former Fannie Adams (1895–1976). Jess and Fannie shared an October 27 birthday but a year apart. Fannie was a daughter of William Hughlett Adams, a Franklin Parish sheriff. Gilbert's sister, Frances Virginia Gilbert Martin was his elder and only sibling. Gilbert was a great-nephew of former State Senator Thomas Benjamin Gilbert, II (1864–1931), who served from 1904 to 1908 and again from 1916 to 1932. "Sonny" Gilbert's father, Jess Gilbert, I, was a first cousin of Henry Wellman "Harry" Gilbert (1894–1970) of Wisner, a state senator from Franklin Parish from 1932 to 1940. Harry Gilbert was a son of Thomas B. Gilbert.〔Gilbert-Peck genealogy records, Barbara Peck Gilbert Haigh of Natchez, Mississippi〕 Gilbert's father died some three weeks before Christmas 1923, of pneumonia, which he contracted at a hunting camp. "Sonny" Gilbert's mother, hence widowed at twenty-eight, did not remarry.〔 Instead she moved into one of the Gilbert homes in Wisner and for many years afterwards operated a boarding house with three meals daily for her patrons. Because his father, Jess "I", died when Gilbert was only a year old, "Sonny" Gilbert used the designation "Sr." after the birth in 1951 of Gilbert's son, who became Gilbert, "Jr." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「J.
