  JOHN L. POGUE, Manufacturer, Gadsden, was born in Chambers County, this State,
June 23, 1850, and is a son of John L. and Elizabeth (Pratt) Pogue, natives of
Georgia. His earlier life was spent at Wetumpka, receiving there a common-school
education, and from the age of seventeen to twenty-one was engaged in farming.
In 1871 he came to Gadsden and accepted employment on salary until 1883, at
which time he engaged in the lumber business. In 1887 he formed a partnership
with H. Herzberg, in the manufacture of lumber. The mills were established in
1875, by B. J. Kittrell, burned down in 1882, re-built in 1884.

  Mr. Pogue is also interested in other business enterprises, and is one of
Gadsden's live, wide-awake business men. He was married in December, 1883, to
Mrs. B. J. Kittrell, daughter of John and Sarah (Pressley) Miller, natives of
South Carolina. Mr. Miller was a Presbyterian minister; moved to South Alabama
in 1843, and spent the rest of his life in Wilcox County. In addition to the
ministry, he was a popular educator and taught many years in the Wilcox
Institute. He reared a family of five sons and three daughters. Of the former,
Joseph is an attorney, at Camden; John is a professor in Erskine College, South
Carolina; James is a citizen of Gadsden; Meek is a student at law; and David is
a sophomore in Erskine College. His daughters are all married to gentlemen of
high standing in the various communities where they live. The Millers came
originally from Ireland.

  John L. Pogue and wife are members of the Old School Presbyterian Church. To
her first husband, Mr. Kittrell, Mrs. Pogue bore five children.
