Noah W. Cross Noah Webster Cross (October 3, 1908 – November 22, 1976) was a controversial Democratic sheriff from Ferriday in Concordia Parish in eastern Louisiana, who served from July 1, 1944 until July 1948 and again from July 1952 until April 4, 1973, when a conviction for perjury and a failed appeal forced him into federal prison. Cross was succeeded by Fred L. Schiele (1933–2002), a former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives, who was appointed by Governor Edwin Washington Edwards, pending a special election, to fill the remainder of Cross' term. Schiele had run unsuccessfully in the 1967 primary against Cross. At the time of his resignation, Cross was the senior sheriff in Louisiana in terms of service.
