Tom Stagg
Thomas Eaton Stagg, Jr., known as Tom Stagg (January 19, 1923 – June 23, 2015), was an attorney, businessman, politician and jurist who served as a judge for the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana from his appointment by President Richard M. Nixon in the spring of 1974 until his death. For the last twenty-three years on the bench, he held the title of "senior status". The court is based in his hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana.
==Background==
Stagg's father, Thomas Stagg, Sr. (1892-1960), was a native of Richmond, Virginia, descended from colonial American ancestors. He relocated to Shreveport in 1919 and entered into the real estate business. At the age of sixteen, Stagg found his mother, the former Beulah Meyer (1891-1939), dead of suicide by strangulation in the family home. She had shot herself in a failed suicide attempt earlier on March 9, 1938, and previously had a nervous breakdown. At the time of his mother's death, Stagg was about to graduate at the age of sixteen from C.E. Byrd High School in Shreveport. Stagg had a sister, Betty Jane Stagg (1921-1990), once been a reporter for ''The Shreveport Times'' who lived after 1960 in Dallas, Texas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Betty Jane Stagg )〕
Stagg attended Marion Military Institute in Marion, Alabama, and Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, from which he completed his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1943.〔 During World War II, Stagg was elevated from 1943 to 1946 from second lieutenant to captain in the United States Army. He was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge, Bronze Star for Valor, a second Bronze Star for meritorious service and the Purple Heart with Oak leaf cluster for wounds received in battle. In the war, Stagg escaped death when a German bullet struck a Bible that he carried in a pocket. Over the years, he often showed colleagues and friends the bullet scars in his Bible.
On August 21, 1946, Stagg wed the former Mary Margaret O'Brien, who survives him. They have two daughters, Julie Stagg Harrington (born c. 1949) and husband, Martin, of Denver, Colorado, and Margaret Mary Sour (born December 1951) of Shreveport.〔 Margaret Sour was formerly married to Edwin William Sour (born December 1950), a son of the late four-term State Representative Art Sour of Shreveport.
