John T. David Politician
John Thomas David, Sr. (August 30, 1897–April 5, 1974), was from 1946 to 1955 the Democratic mayor of the small city of Minden, the seat of Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana. After scandal forced him from the mayor's office, he remained the chief of the Minden Volunteer Fire Department (1934–1971) and served three terms from 1956 to 1968 on the Webster Parish Police Jury (the equivalent to county commission in other states). As mayor, David sought to increase available housing in the post-World War II era when military personnel returned home, married, and started families.
