John McKeithen

John Julian McKeithen (May 28, 1918 – June 4, 1999) was the 49th Governor of Louisiana, serving from 1964 to 1972. A Democrat from the town of Columbia, he was the first governor of his state in the twentieth century to serve two consecutive terms. He strongly advocated the construction of the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans.
== Early life ==
McKeithen was born in the village of Grayson just south of Columbia in Caldwell Parish, the son of contractor and farmer, Jesse J. McKeithen and the former DeEtte Eglin. He graduated from high school there and first attended college in High Point, North Carolina. In 1942, he earned his law degree from Louisiana State University Law Center in Baton Rouge.
From 1942–1946, during World War II, McKeithen served as a first lieutenant in the 77th Infantry Division, United States Army in the Pacific Theater of Operations. He fought in the battles of Guam, Gulf of Leyte, Ie Shima, and Okinawa. He was awarded two Bronze Star Medals.〔Affirmed on the John McKeithen obelisk gravestone, Hogan Cemetery, Caldwell Parish, Louisiana〕
After the war, McKeithen started practicing law in Columbia. On June 14, 1942, he married a young teacher in Columbia, the former Marjorie "Margie" Howell Funderburk (September 30, 1919 – March 24, 2004), a twin sister of Margaret Funderburk. Marjorie, who was reared in Winnsboro in Franklin Parish, graduated from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston. She taught mathematics and chemistry at Jena High School in Jena in LaSalle Parish and, thereafter, at the Ward 5 School in Caldwell Parish. The McKeithens had six children, including the future State Representative and Louisiana Secretary of State Fox McKeithen (1946–2005). Their oldest son was Jesse Jay McKeithen (1943–1998). Their daughters are Rebecca Ann, Melissa Sue, Pamela Clare, and Jenneva Maude.〔Information on Marjorie McKeithen gravestone, Hogan Cemetery, Caldwell Parish, Louisiana〕 Marjorie McKeithen was the homemaker at their Hogan Plantation and reserved the spotlight for her popular husband, whom she affectionately called "J.J."
