[John M. Gwin Note--6 Jun 2020: Much if not most of the the data I have listed above for James and Malinda comes from Rebecca Gwin Morris and isearch2, who posted it to James and Malinda's FindAGrave memorials (see above). For example, in Rebecca's bio for James, she writes:
"James Gwin was married to Malinda Ellison on Aug. 2, 1835 in Franklin Parish, Louisiana. The actual location of his grave and his wife's grave is about 1 1/2 miles Northwest of the Gwin Family Cemetery. They were buried on their farm. Photo courtesy of owner, Rebecca Gwin Morris."
Clear photos of their gravestones are also located on those memorials. THANK you, Rebecca and isearch2!]

OBITUARY

            Loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend Carolyn "Callie" Richardson Whitman passed away peacefully at the age of 66 on November 23 surrounded by family.
            A native of Rayville, LA, she graduated from Rayville High School in 1968. She attended LSU and was a member of Chi Omega sorority. She received a degree in Elementary Education from Northeast Louisiana University. Carolyn’s impeccable style and warm personality led her to a career in retail sales, including running the family business, Glover Hardware.
            As a devout Episcopalian, Carolyn was a longtime member of St. David’s Episcopal Church where she loved her church family and actively served in multiple leadership roles. For over 30 years, she was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and she regularly supported the community she so adored in many ways, including belonging to the local civic organization, Sedente Animo.
            Affectionately known as “Callie” to her grandchildren and many dear friends, she will surely leave a lasting impact on all who were blessed to know her. A true Southern lady, she had the ability to light up any room with her sweet smile and genuine, giving spirit.
            Carolyn maintained a beautiful garden and was a member of the Palmetto Garden Club and the Crossroads Garden Club of Monroe. Generous with her time and talents, she crafted striking floral arrangements for many events over the years. Carolyn was known for her cooking and entertaining, and she enjoyed hosting elegant gatherings at the family home on Clear Lake.
            She is survived by her husband James L. “Jimmy” Whitman, and children Hollis Venable and wife Lana of Baton Rouge, LA; Carl Venable and wife Ashley of Madison, MS; and Trey Whitman and wife Sarah of Tallulah, LA. She is also survived by her sister Patricia Brice of Houston, TX, and her eight grandchildren who were the light of her life: Isabelle, Evan, Caroline, Elise, Garrett and Carly Venable, and Kate and Lane Whitman. She was preceded in death by her parents, Lasley and Catherine Earle Richardson.
            Friends are invited to a visitation on Sunday, November 26 from 5:00 until 7:00 p.m. at the family home at 122 Clear Lake Road. Services will be held on Monday, November 27 at 10:00 a.m. at St. David’s Episcopal Church, with the burial to follow at the Masonic Cemetery in Rayville.
            Those wishing to honor Carolyn’s memory may make a donation to St. David’s Episcopal Church. The family would like to express its sincere thanks to everyone who enriched Carolyn’s life. She brought love, light and joy to so many, and she will be dearly missed.]

OBITUARY

The entire community mourns the passing of Andrew Jackson Gwin, for twenty-one years one of the foremost enterprising citizens of Winnfield, whose death occurred at 2:30 a.m. Monday morning at his home on Main Street.

Though Mr. Gwin had been suffering with heart trouble for more than a year, he had not been critically ill for more than thirty days, and his death Monday morning, while not unexpected, was a distinct shock to the entire town because of the high esteem in which he is held.

A. J. Gwin was a native of Tennessee, being born there July 10, 1856. Soon after his birth, his parents came to Louisiana and located at Rayville, where Mr. Gwin was reared, receiving his education in the schools of Richland Parish.

In 1881, A. J. Gwin was married to Miss Augusta McNeill, and to this union four children were born, three of whom are now living.

In the year 1885, Mr. Gwin with his family left Richland Parish and located for a short time in Ruston, moving from there to Gibsland where he remained until 1887; he then went to Minden where he was engaged in the contracting business for something like fifteen years. He came to Winnfield in 1903, continuing his business as a contractor until 1905, when he established the Winnfield Brick Factory and began the manufacture and sale of brick, from that time on being the only enterprise of its kind in town and the first after a period of many years.

In March, 1909, Mrs. Augusta Gwin died, and in 1911, Mr. Gwin was married to Miss Florence Humble of Mississippi, who with his three children, J. M. Gwin and Mrs. Mack L. Branch, both of Winnfield, and D. J. Gwin, of Union Springs, Alabama, survive him.

The deceased was affiliated with the Knights of Pythian Lodge and was one of the most faithful, influential members of the local Methodist Church, being a trustee of this institution for the past fifteen years. His work as a church member was characterized by a simple dignity, profound faith and unswerving loyalty, the same attributes being shown in his work as a citizen. In all his activities, Mr. Gwin was supported and encouraged by his wife, a fine consecrated Christian character.

At three o'clock Monday afternoon funeral services were held at the First Methodist Church, Rev. P. M. Caraway conducting same, with interment in the Winnfield Cemetery at four o'clock. The pallbearers acting were J. M. Hyde, B. W. Bailey, C. E. Tannehill, R. W. Oglesby, Dr. F. C. Wren, P. K. Abel, together with the honorary pallbearers R. S. Walsh, J. T. Wood, Dr. A. W. Radescich, E. N. Jackson, J. R. Heard, G. W. Barton, J. A. Nugent, L. R. Neill, M. D. Morgan, G. B. Dalton, A. L. McDonald, W. W. Curry, C. L. Smith, D. F. Shell, W. J. Walker, Tracy L. Harrel, L. Rickerson, J. W. Harrel, J. R. Watts, B. L. Fulton. The out-of-town relatives attending the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Carl Earl, Mrs. Thomas Burke of Rayville, Misses Lillian Anderson and Velva Wooldridge of L. P. I., Ruston, and Messrs. Tom Wooldridge and Oscar Kincade of Ft. Necessity, La.

OBITUARY

Died in Winnfield, La, on Saturday, Feb. 6, 1909, Mrs. Mary Augusta Gwin, the wife of Mr. A. J. Gwin, aged 54 years. She was born in Camden, Wilcox County, Alabama, October 30, 1855.

The deceased was a sufferer for a long time. She was a member of the Baptist Church, a devoted Christian mother, an affectionate wife and a kind and charitable neighbor. Her life work was devoted to the practice of all those home virtues that illumine a woman nobly planned. She was esteemed by all who knew her.

She was laid to rest last Sunday afternoon in the city cemetery. Around her last resting place were gathered hundreds of the citizens, attesting the high esteem in which her character was held and the deep sympathy felt for the bereaved family. Services were held at the residence and concluded at the cemetery by Rev. J. R. Edwards. A devoted husband, a daughter and three sons mourn the loss of the wife and mother, and numerous relatives cherish her memory. The home has lost its chief magnet and this community a beloved resident. May she rest in peace.

Mack L. Branch, who had a 55-year career in the drug business in Winnfield, died April 14 in New Orleans where he was hospitalized for several days before his death. He was 82.

Funeral services were held at 3 p.m. April 15 in the First Presbyterian Church here and burial was in the Garden of Memories Cemetery under the direction of Hixon Funeral Home.

Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Beulah G. Branch, two daughters, Mrs. Mary Virginia Reinhard, Winnfield, Mrs. Robert Walsh, New Orleans, a sister, Mrs. Carrie Tugwell, Winnfield, and one granddaughter, Carla Reinhard, Winnfield.

Mr. Branch moved to Winnfield from Gaars Mill, November 11, 1901, and went to work at the age of 21 for the Smith-Grisham Drug Store. Seven years later, he and Grisham erected a brick building for a second drug store to be managed by Mr. Branch. This building now stands on the west side and adjoining the Enterprise office at the corner of Court and Jones Streets. By 1918, he had purchased Grisham's interests and passed the State Pharmaceutical Board examination. He also purchased a building and until his retirement occupied that structure. He accepted the Walgreen Agency name in 1947 and kept it until he retired. On March 8 this year he announced the selling of his stock to the J. A. West dry goods chain and said he was retiring.

In 1934 the Winn Parish Police Jury was increased to three members from Ward One, and Gov. Oscar Allen appointed Mr. Branch to fill a two-year term. He was reelected for another four years in 1936.

He was a deacon at the First Presbyterian Church and served on the building committee there.

Serving as pallbearers at Mr. Branch's service were J. R. Harrison, F. L. Main, H. E. Powell, Jr., Kenneth Watts, Earl Applewhite, Robert Kraft, D. L. Hoffman, and A. W. Radescich.
