COURTLAND M. FEUQUAY
VOL. 5, P. 1899

One of the young men who have made a promising record as a lawyer in
the Lincoln County bar is Courtland M. Feuquay, who was admitted to
practice three years ago and has already shown some striking ability
in the handling of cases entrusted to his charge.

Courtland M. Feuquay was born in Kansas April 15, 1890, and is a son
of the late John W. FEUQUAY, for many years a leading and successful
business man of Chandler. He built and owned the Feuquay Block, one
of the well known buildings in the central business district. He was
born in Parke County, Indiana, and during the Civil war served with
an excellent record in the Union army. He had many narrow escapes
from danger, was wounded and at one time left on a battlefield as
dead. He married Jence C. HOLLAND, who was born in Goldsboro, North
Carolina, of a prominent family of that state, a daughter of West
HOLLAND. John W. Feuquay died at Chandler at the age of sixty-nine.
For many years he was engaged in business as a coal operator. He was
also in the government service. His political affiliations were with
the democratic party, and he was a member of Chandler Post of the
Grand Army of the Republic. Mrs. Feuquay, his mother, is one of the
prominent women of Oklahoma, active in club affairs, and a member of
the Woman's Relief Corps in Oklahoma and also one of the leaders in
the Women's Suffrage movement of the state.

Courtland M. Feuquay, the only child of these parents, received his
education in the Chandler High School, received the degrees of B. O.
from Epworth University, B. A. from University of Oklahoma and LL.B.
from Yale. He is also an alumnus of the University of Virginia. For a
man of his years he has seen much of the world and was orator of the
day, American Boy Day, at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904 and at
the Jamestown Exposition in 1907. He was associated for two years in
the practice of law with Colonel HOFFMAN at Chandler, and since that
time has been in practice for himself. He has shown the results of a
studious mind and a fine individual fitness for the profession. Mr.
Feuquay is a Scottish Rite Mason of thirty-two degrees, and also
affiliates with the Knights of Pythias and the Independent Order of
Odd Fellows, and while at college was a member of a Greek letter
fraternity.
