Roy R. Theriot
Roy R. Theriot, Sr. (June 26, 1914 – April 19, 1973), was the Democratic state comptroller of Louisiana from 1960-1973. From 1954 to 1960, he was the mayor of Abbeville, the seat of Vermilion Parish in southwestern Louisiana.
==Background==
Theriot was born in Erath in Vermilion Parish to Lastie Theriot and the former Emerite Barras. He was educated in Erath public schools, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (at the time Southwestern Louisiana Institute) and the Tulane University Law School in New Orleans. He began his law practice on June 7, 1939. Theriot took a role in civic affairs and organized the Abbeville Dairy Festival, first held in September 1949. In 1979, it was renamed the Louisiana Cattle Festival. In 1956, Theriot invited Harold Stassen, the former Governor of Minnesota, to speak at the festival. Stassen, remembered as a perennial Republican candidate for U.S. president, was so impressed with the festival that he invited the Abbeville High School band to perform at the second inauguration of Dwight D. Eisenhower on January 20, 1957. Theriot later convinced former President Harry Truman to speak at the event.〔"Theriot Charges Louisiana Residents With Lack of Pride in Their State", ''Minden Press-Herald'', July 21, 1967, p. 1〕 At civic meetins, Theriot often chided Louisiana residents for "lacking pride" in their state, unlike neighboring Texas. He attributed that shortcoming to the "lack of knowledge of what the state has to offer".〔
Theriot organized the Acadian Boucherie Breakfast, which began in January 1960, as a means to preserve Cajun French culture.
On June 7, 1947, he married Helen Roberts (1924–1990). The couple had three children: Barbara Ellen Theriot (born 1949), Roy R. Theriot, Jr. (born 1952) and Sam H. Theriot, a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives from 1979 to 1996 and the Vermilion Parish Clerk of Court for a single term from 1996 to 2000.
