Composed of Colonel C. Harrison Parker, E. P. White and G. A. Killgore. ...GEORGE ALLIN KILLGORE, JR. WAS BORN IN Union parish. He was educated in the public schools of that parish, and afterward went to the Louisiana State University of Baton Rouge in 1871 and in 1875. Later on he took a commercial course at Soale Business College, in New Orleans, and returning to his native parish, took up the study of law in the office of Judge George H. Ellis. He was admitted to the bar in 1876, and two years later was elected parish judge, a position which he held with credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents until that office was abolished by the constitution of 1879. He then formed a law partnership with Judge W. R. Rutland, and continued the practice of his profession until 1886, when he removed to Natchitoches pariah. Here, in conjunction with the late Judge A. B. George, he purchased a fine stock farm a few miles from the town of Natchitoches. He is now engaged in cotton planting, is one of the most progressive and successful planters in that section of the state, and for a number of years has been identified with movements for the advancement of agriculture. Judge Killgore married a Miss Morton of Marion, Ala., and is the father of five interesting children. By reason of his varied accomplishments, and his legal and commercial training, united to the practical knowledge of agriculture, he will doubtless prove a most valuable member of the board ############################################################# File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/la/union/newspapers/articles/1900killgore.txt
