==Kent biographical sketch==
An Alabama native,〔 Kent was from 1894 to 1917 the editor and publisher of the long since defunct ''Minden Signal-Democrat'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Signal-Democrat )〕 a four-page weekly issued in Minden on Fridays. Kent purchased the paper from Thomas Wafer Fuller, a later state senator who then bought it back after Kent entered the Louisiana House of Representatives.〔"Signal Was Founded in Year 1864: Parish Owes Much to the Recording of This Paper", ''Minden Signal-Tribune'' and ''Springhill Journal'', Historical Edition, April 30, 1971〕 During a portion of Kent's tenure with ''The Signal-Democrat'', the publication was in competition with T. J. Tabor's former ''Banner of Liberty'' newspaper, a four-page weekly released each Thursday.
John Agan, the official Webster Parish historian, described Kent in a 2002 article as almost a "walking conflict of interest" because Kent held public printing contracts for the municipality of Minden, the Webster Parish School Board, and the Webster Parish Police Jury, the parish governing board akin to county commissions in other states. Kent was also at times an elected member of both the Minden City Council and the school board.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Webster superintendent of schools: Part II of those who have held the post in the past )〕 rom 1916 to 1920, Kent served for one term in the Louisiana House of Representatives during the administration of Governor Ruffin Pleasant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Membership in the Louisiana House of Representatives, 1812-2016: Webster Parish )〕 Earlier from 1899 to 1903, he had been the mayor of Minden.
