Fulton Telegraph
February 15, 1964:
Died at his residence, near this city, on 15th, Irvine Hockaday, in his 67th years of his age.
Mr. Hockaday moved from Clark COunty, Kentucky in the fall of 1822. He settled near the ferry which he later purchased.
Few men have lived so long in the same community and left as a legacyto family and friend, so fair and eviable a name. In public and public life his intercoarse with members was extensive and yet he maintained a charactor unsullied.
Judge Hockaday prosessed a mind wonderfully discrimatory, well balanced and sound in judgement and penetrating. He quickly read the character and acts of a man. He was firm, decided and presevering in his purpose, yet commanded the respect of all who knew him and attached his friends to him with cords not easily severed. In all the positions held he held in public life, he aquited himself with honor and with the full appreciation of those he served.
He has gone to the grave but we have pleasure of knowing him.
Then Shall the dust return to the earth as it was.
Callaway County History:
Mr. Hockaday's father, Isaac Hockaday and his mother, Lucy Van Meter, lived in Clark County, Kentucky with their family. Isaac died in 1819. Irvine settled his father's affairs and moved with his family to Fulton, Missouri in 1821. It was a new frontier. Irvine settled near the ferry which he afterward purchased.
His wife, Emily Mills, had lived in the same county in Kentucky.
The Hockadays knew the Daniel Boone family and Irvine was friends with Alphonso Boone, Daniels grandson. That was one reason Irvine came to Missouri, Daniel and Alphonso had scouted the area and wrote to Irvine.
Irvine and his family lived in a log cabin on the hill in south Fulton. His grandson, John Hockaday, built "Hockaday House" and the hill became known as Hockaday Hill.
The Hockadays owned slaves in Kentucky and Missouri but did not support the Confederacy. They were Union sympathisers.
