W. E. HOCKADAY, PLAQUEMNE BRULEE.--W. F. Hockaday was born in Kentucky, in
1868.  He is the younger of two children born to Eugene and Anna (Lake)
Hockaday.  Eugene Hockaday was educated at Shelbyville, Kentucky, and removed
to Louisiana early in life, where he became a prosperous planter and merchant.

W. E. Hockaday, the subject of this sketch, received his education principally
in Illinois.  He is one of the most successful planters and stock raisers in
this section of Louisiana.  He has charge of three thousand acres of very
fertile land.  He gives special attention to the breeding and importing of a
fine grade of Herford and short-horned cattle.  Mr. Hockaday is united in
marriage with Miss Beatrice Lyon, a daughter of Crawford Lyon of this State.
