Enos Carr McClendon, Jr. (September 17, 1917 – June 16, 2003), was a judge of the Louisiana 26th Judicial District from 1960 until his retirement in 1978. McClendon was based in Minden, the seat of Webster Parish in the northwestern portion of the state.
McClendon was the son of the former Lurene Gray (1891–1978) and Judge Enos McClendon, Sr., (1889–1958) of Homer in Claiborne Parish in north Louisiana. The senior McClendon served on the Louisiana Second Circuit Court of Appeal from 1930 until his death in 1958. McClendon's paternal grandparents were Enos H. McClendon (1849–1919) and the former Della Carr (1860–1927).
McClendon, Jr., graduated from Homer High School and procured his Bachelor of Arts and LLB degrees from Tulane University and the Tulane University School of Law in New Orleans. He served four years in the United States Army during World War II. Except for the time of his military service, he practiced law in Minden from 1940 to 1960.
McClendon was married for more than fifty years to the former Lois Rogers (1920–1991), and the couple had four children: Enos Carr McClendon, III (born 1946), Eloise M. Murchison (born 1948), Roger Gray McClendon (born 1949), and Kathy M. Hines.
Son Carr McClendon of Carlsbad, California, is married to the former Peggy Whaley of Minden, the daughter of the late Marjorie Bright Whaley and Bernard Crowell Whaley (1920-2015), a native of Columbia County, Arkansas. A decorated first lieutenant with the United States Army Air Forces, Bernard Whaley flew thirty bombing missions during World War II over France and Germany, two on D-Day at Normandy. He was subsequently the owner and operator for forty years of the Dairy Queen in Minden.
