HOCKADAY. - At the residence of his daughter, Mrs. (Dr.) Lawrence Daly, in 
Bellevue, on Monday morning October 22, 1906, at 1:30 o'clock, Eugene 
Hockaday, aged 71 years. Interment in Methodist cemetery Tuesday evening.

Mr. Hockaday was one of the largest and wealthiest planters in Acadia 
parish. He came there from Kentucky about twenty years ago, and was one of 
the first planters of that parish to engage extensively in rice culture. He 
had means when he came to Acadia, and by thrift and good management 
increased his wealth until he had, at his death, more than a competence.

He is the father of Mrs. Dr. Lawrence Daly, of Bellevue, and came there a 
few weeks ago, it may be said, to die, as he knew that he was afflicted with 
a disease (chronic heart trouble) which numbered his days on earth. So fully 
did he realize that the end was fast approaching that he gave directions as 
to the details of his funeral, and spoke of his approaching dissolution with 
firmness and resignation.

He leaves a widow and two children (Mrs. Daly and Mr. Willie Hockaday) to 
mourn his death.
