   JUDGE LUCIEN L. COCHRAN, of Fort Payne, De Kalb county, Ala., is a native of
Newton county, Ga., and was born October 29, 1842. His education was principally
acquired at the university of Georgia, at Athens, having been prepared for
college at the schools of his native county. In May, 1861, he entered the
Confederate army, joining company E, Tenth Georgia infantry-the first company
organized in Clayton county, Ga., whither he had moved. He served gallantly at
Big Bethel, Williamsburg, Seven Pines, seven days' fight before Richmond, South

Gettysburg (where he was again wounded), Chickamauga, Knoxville, the Wilderness,
Spottsylvania, second Cold Harbor, Petersburg (where he received another wound),
and at Cedar Creek (where he lost his right arm October 19, 1864). Beside these
main engagements, the judge took part in a number of minor engagements, and was
honorably discharged in January, 1865. He at once returned to Clayton county,
Ga., where he passed some time on the farm. The year 1867-68 he attended the
university of Georgia at Athens, and then came to Alabama and taught school five
years in Cherokee county. In 1874 he was elected clerk of the circuit court of
Cherokee county, served six years, and in 1880 moved to De Kalb county and
taught school and engaged in merchandising until 1886, when he was elected

and has represented his party as delegate to several state and congressional
conventions, including the state convention at Montgomery, Ala., in June, 1892.
