EMILE CREIGHTON, LAFAYETTE.--Emile Creighton was born in Louisiana, 1849.  His
father, John R. Creighton, was a native of Louisiana, as was also his mother,
Eupheme Mouton.  His parents were married in Lafayette parish, 1835, and to
them were born four children, two sons and two daughters, the subject of this
sketch being the second in order of birth.

At the age of sixteen years Mr. Creighton entered the Confederate service,
enlisting in 1864, in the Twenty-sixth Louisiana Regiment, under Colonel
William Crow, and served until the war closed.  Mr. Creighton has given his
attention to planting since the war.  He now owns two hundred acres of land,
which he cultivates chiefly in cotton.  He also operates a large cotton gin. 
Mr. Creighton was married, in 1890, to Miss Elizabeth Louiel.
