James Berry Sandefur (October 21, 1868 – July 14, 1954)[1] was a merchant who served from 1920 to 1922 as the mayor of Minden in his native Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana.[2]
The son of L. Berry Sandefur and the former Mary Hortman, Sandefur was elected mayor in 1920 to succeed the two-term incumbent W. Matt Lowe. He was himself succeeded in 1922 by Connell Fort, who began the first of three nonconsecutive terms in the office.[2]
Sandefur, a Baptist, died in a hospital in Shreveport.[3] He is interred at Minden Cemetery. Preceded in death by his wife, Edna McGruder Sandefur (August 27, 1863 – August 26, 1921), he was survived by three daughters, Mollie S. Hough (1895–1989), wife of Ross Joel Hough (1897–1973), and Mrs. W. B. Harris, both of Minden, and Jimmie Naomi Harp (1906–1943), wife of L. L. Harp of Houston, Texas.[4] There were also two sons, Dewey Sandefur and James C. Sandefur, both then of Shreveport, and seven grandchildren, one of whom, Ikie Willis Harp, lived from 1929 to 1941 and is interred in the Sandefur plot.[4]
