FREDERICK J. COCHRAN

Frederick J. Cochran, son of James C. Cochran and Maria Doty, was born July 9, 1870, at 314 South Clinton street, Iowa City. He was educated in the Iowa City public schools, and graduated from the Iowa City Academy in 1887. He then entered Williams College and took a commercial course. Later he entered (in 1887) the Law Department of the S. U. I., graduating in 1892. For a number of years he practiced his profession, but of late his time has been occupied with the legal work of his father and the business of real estate and loans. He was married in March, 1892, to Gail Huntsman, daughter of Dr. A. C. Huntsman, former regent of the State University, and a successful physician. Mrs. Huntsman was formerly Matilda Fulton. Mr. Cochran and his wife were married by the president of Penn College. Their union has been blessed with four children: Dorothy, Alice, Nell, mid James (Mark. They reside in their new home, 406 Summit avenue, Iowa City. M PS. Cochran is a native of Oskaloosa, Iowa, and a graduate of the public schools of that city. She is an active member of social chilis of Iowa City and a prominent worker in the First Congregational church, of which both husband and wife are members.

Frederick J. Cochran is one of the up-to-date and progressive business men of the University City; an active member of the Commercial Club, the Automobile Club, and the Motor Club, in the latter two of which he takes an especial interest. He is an owner and fancier of good driving horses also, and takes nobody's dust either on the speeding track or the highway. He is a member of the I. 0. 0. F., K. of P., M. W. A., and Royal Arcanum. In the prime of life, well educated, experienced, alert, with the invisible urge of a long line of canny Scot ancestry in his veins, it is not difficult to prophesy for him success and worthy honors in the city and state of his birth.
