  WILLIAM P. LUDIKE was born in Savannah, Ga., July 30, 1841. His parents were
Conrad and Sarah H. (Leonard) Ludike, the former a native of Germany, and the
latter of Tennessee. Both died so many years ago as not to be remembered by the
subject of this sketch.

  William P. Ludike was reared by an uncle, and educated at the schools of
Macon, Ga. In the Ochmulgee Foundry, at Macon, he learned the trade of
machinist, and followed it at various places up to 1862. He became a locomotive
engineer in that year, and followed the business up to 1882. During the last
twelve years of that time he ran the train between Florence and Tuscumbia,
discharging the duties of both conductor and engineer, and was the express
company's messenger, in charge of their business over the Florence branch,
during that same period. He was appointed agent of the Southern Express Company,
and took charge of their office at Florence in 1882. To this he has since given
his attention. He is an active business man, and is identified more or less with
the modern progress of Florence.
