Parey Branton
Parey Pershing Branton, Sr. (November 17, 1918 – September 15, 2011), was a businessman from Shongaloo, Louisiana, who was from 1960 to 1972 a Democratic member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from what is now District 10 in Webster Parish. The district, which includes the parish seat of Minden in northwestern Louisiana, is now represented by the Democrat Gene Reynolds, of Dubberly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Parey P. Branton )〕
In the mid-1960s, he called himself a "Wallace--Goldwater--Free Enterprise--Right-to-Profit Democrat" and printed that slogan for a time on his private vehicle. He refused to support the national Democratic presidential nominees during his tenure in the legislature. Instead, he endorsed Republican Barry M. Goldwater of Arizona in 1964 and former Alabama Governor George C. Wallace, Jr., in 1968. Wallace ran on the American Independent Party banner in a vain attempt to block the election of either Richard M. Nixon or Hubert Humphrey.
==Background==
The oldest child of Marion M. Branton and the former Addie Mae Martin, Branton graduated from Shongaloo High School in his native Shongaloo in central Webster Parish. He then attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and the University of Texas at Austin, both for two years. With the outbreak of World War II, Branton joined the United States Army Signal Corps and attended a special school in advanced radar held near Lexington in Fayette County, Kentucky. There he met his future wife, the former Georgia Porter Lusby (March 20, 1921 – November 3, 2013), a native of Avon in Fayette County, and the daughter of Owen Lusby and the former Lena Williams. On October 30, 1943, the couple married in Paris in Bourbon County, Kentucky.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Georgia Branton (1921-2013) )〕
In 1948, Branton joined the staff of American Airlines in El Paso, Texas, and was later assigned in San Francisco and Los Angeles, California.〔 He returned to Shongaloo in 1951 and was employed in the personnel and payroll departments of the since closed International Paper Company in nearby Springhill.〔''Minden Herald'', October 20, 1955, pp. 1, 12〕 He also operated a store in Shongaloo at the intersection of Louisiana Highways 159 and 2. He was a member of Mt. Paran Baptist Church in Shongaloo.〔Branton in Race for Clerk's Office", ''Minden Herald'', October 20, 1955, p. 1〕
