Lee Emmett Thomas
Lee Emmett Thomas (September 23, 1866 – February 16, 1935) was an attorney and banker who served as the mayor of Shreveport, Louisiana, from 1922–1930. He was also from 1912–1916 the Speaker of the Louisiana House of Representatives.
==Background==
Thomas was born in Marion in Union Parish north of Ruston, a son of B. B. Thomas and the former of Susan S. George of Perry County, Alabama. Thomas was educated at the former Concord Institute in the community of Shiloh in Union Parish. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Baptist-affiliated Samford University, then known as Howard College in Marion, Alabama, but since located in Birmingham, Alabama. Thomas also obtained a Master of Accounts degree, a 14-week course, from the defunct Eastman Business College in Poughkeepsie, New York. Thereafter for two years he kept the books in his father's mercantile business in Farmerville, the parish seat of Union Parish. In 1889, Thomas procured his law degree from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville, Virginia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Thomas, Lee Emmett )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LeeEmmett Thomas )〕
From 1889 to 1896, he practiced law in Farmerville,〔 where he married the former Florence Smith. Thomas's biographical sketches in ''A Dictionary of Louisiana Biography''〔 and ''The Chronicles of Shreveport'' does not indicate if the couple had children. In 1896, the Thomases came to Shreveport, where he continued in the practice of law. He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Shreveport.〔 Thomas also served as president of the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce and was affiliated with several fraternal orders, including the Masonic lodge, the Shriners, the Order of the Eastern Star, Knights Templar, and the Knights of Pythias. Thomas worked to establish the Shriner's Hospital for Children in Shreveport, the first in the United States.〔〔''A Dictionary of Louisiana Biography'' uses information for its biographical sketch on Mayor Thomas from Lilla McLure and J. Ed Howe, ''History of Shreveport and Shreveport Builders'' (1937) and Maude Hearn O'Pry, ''Chronicles of Shreveport'' (1928).〕 Thomas was also the chairman of the board of the orphanage, the Masonic Home for Children in Alexandria, Louisiana, established ca. 1928.〔
