Colquit, Claiborne Parish, Louisiana

Colquit is still known, the storm referred to in the first chapter shaking it into life.

Around this place settled the Tignors, Grays and Wilsons, and here, in 1856, Cool Spring Lodge No. 149, A. P. & A. M., was organized, continuing work until 1881.

Methodist and Baptist societies were organized there at an early day. Gordon was founded by Dr. Gordon years before he moved to Texas. It is still a small business center.
