JOHN PAUCHER, sheriff of Hardee County, and one of the most experienced realtors of this region, is president of the Peace River Land Company, and one of the most efficient men in the office of sheriff Florida has ever known. He is a man who believes in enforcing the law and punishing the lawbreaker no matter how rich and influential he may be. He has made a splendid record during the short time he has been in office, some idea of which may be gleaned from the following report made October 17, 1922, with reference to what he had accomplished since he was appointed sheriff upon the organization of Hardee County: Stills destroyed, 74; moonshine seized, 281 gallons; mash seized, 104 barrels; other liquors seized, 149 gallons; prisoners captured, 96; prisoners convicted, 57.

Sheriff Paucher was born in Hamilton County, Florida, May 1, 1882, a son of Almon and Julia (Caldwell) Paucher, he born near Jacksonville. Florida, and she in Wayne County, Georgia. The paternal grandparents, John and Elizabeth (Smith) Paucher, were born in Suwanee County, Florida, and the maternal grandparents, William and Missouri (Middleton) Caldwell, were born in Wayne County, Georgia. The parents were married in Florida and spent their lives in this state thereafter, and here they died. By calling the father was a farmer.

His education confined to the advantages of the public schools, Sheriff Paucher grew up on his father's farm, and early learned the value of honest toil. When only eighteen years old he went to the east coast of Florida, and while he was there his father died, and,_returning home, he remained there for a year. For the next few years he was engaged in sawmilling in Levi, Marion, Citrus and Pasco counties, and in 1907 he bought land in the last-named county and was engaged in farming it until 1911, when he sold his interests and came to Wauchula and invested quite heavily in farm land in its vicinity, which he is engaged in conducting. He also began working for the Wauchula Development Company, and upon more than one occasion traveled as far north as Washington City selling land in which this company was interested. His success as a land salesman led him in 1913 to go into the real estate business for himself, and in 1918 he established the Peace River Land Company, with himself as president, and he still holds this office. This company deals in all kinds of timber and farm land and city property, and is one of the leading realty firms in Hardee County. Sheriff Paucher has always been active in public affairs, working as a faithful adherent of the democratic party, and when the proposition of the organization of Hardee County came up before the people he was one of its ardent supporters and worked very hard

for this project. He is also active as a member of the Board of Trade of Wauchula, and never neglects an opportunity to advance his city and county. The Knights of Pythias have in him an enthusiastic member. Reared in the Methodist faith, he has espoused it as his own, and his name has long been enrolled upon the books of the local body of that denomination.

On February 14, 1905, Sheriff Paucher married Miss Susie Houck, born in North Carolina, a daughter of Darius and Mattie Houck, and they have the following children: Glenn, Raymond, Ernest, Dell, Susie May, Clyde, Loyce and Elmo.

WILLIAM LINCOLN DREW, B. S., LL. B., has the active supervision of the fine citrus fruit grove that has been developed under his personal direction and that is one of the splendidly improved and valuable properties of Polk County. This homestead is picturesquely situated on Eagle Lake, near the village of the same name, and after a career of achievement as a representative of the legal profession and as a prominent educator in connection therewith Mr. Drew finds that in his idyllic home in Florida his "lines are cast in pleasant places."

Mr. Drew was born at Newton, Iowa, November 1, 1864, and is a son of Orrin Gilman Drew and Mary Emily (Drew) Drew, the former a native of New Hampshire and the latter of Maine. The parents were reared and educated in New England where the respective families were founded in the Colonial period of our national history, and in the late '50s they numbered themselves among the pioneer settlers in Iowa, where they played well their part in civic and industrial development and progress. Of the four children William L., of this review, is the elder of the two surviving, his brother, Gilman Arthur Drew, who was born November 15, 1868, being now a resident of Woods Hole, Massachusetts.

The early education of William L. Drew was acquired in the public schools of the Hawkeye State, and thereafter he continued his studies in the University of Iowa until his graduation in 1889 with the degree of Bachelor of Science. He availed himself also of the advantages of the law department of the same institution, and in the same was graduated as a member of the class of 1892 and with the degree of Bachelor of Laws, besides which he was for one year a student in the law school of historic old Harvard University. For two years Mr. Drew was engaged in the practice of law in the City of Omaha, Nebraska, and for two years thereafter he was an assistant professor in the law department of the great University of Wisconsin at Madison. He gave six years of effective service as a member of the faculty of the law department of the University of Illinois at Urbana, and thereafter was for ten years professor of law at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York.

While thus engaged in the educational work of his profession Mr. Drew visited Florida, with a view to making investment in real estate here and eventually establishing his home in the state. He visited various sections at this time and finally selected and purchased the fine homestead on which he now resides. The land was then covered with native forest trees, and no improvements had been made on the property. In 1908 he planted the orange trees that have here developed into a productive orange grove of twenty, acres. He continued his work at Cornell University until 1914, and in the meanwhile passed

the summer vacations on the Florida property, to the improvement of which he gave his close attention. In 1914 he resigned his position at the university and established his permanent home in Florida. In 1916 he erected his present commodious and modern house of nine rooms, the same occupying an attractive site and its facade facing Lake Eagle. Mr. Drew has the active management of a citrus-grove property of 130 acres, his brother and also his niece having financial interests in the property.

Mr. Drew has been a leader in scientific fruit culture in this section of Florida, is president of the Eagle Lake Citrus Growers Association and the Polk County Sub Exchange, besides being vice president of the Growers Loan & Guaranty Company.

In 1895 was solemnized the marriage of Mr. Drew and Miss Lida June Shallenberger, who had previously been a popular teacher in the public schools of Omaha, Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. Drew have no children.

NORMAN MCLEOD HEGGIE, M. D. Locating at Jacksonville in 1906, Doctor Heggie has limited his practice to the eye, ear, nose and throat, and his attainments rank him as probably the foremost specialist in this field in Florida.

His father was born in Scotland in 1836, was educated for the medical profession in Edinburg University and Queens College, Kingston, and as a young man located at Brampton, Canada. He continued the active practice of his profession until within a few years of his death, which occurred in 1919, at the advanced age of eighty-three. He belonged to all the regular medical organizations in Canada, and was a member of the Presbyterian Church. He and his wife had four sons and one daughter, three of whom are still living, all doctors, Norman M., being the fourth child.

Doctor Heggie was educated in the grammar and high schools of Brampton, his native city, and took his general medical course in the University of Maryland, Baltimore, where he graduated in 1902. For four years following in preparation for his chosen specialty he was in the Presbyterian eye and ear hospital at Baltimore. Then, in 1906, he located at Jacksonville, Florida. Doctor Heggie is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, belongs to the American Academy of Ophthalmologists, the American Medical Association and the Southern Medical Association. The Duval County Medical Society has honored him with the office of president, as has also the staff of St. Lukes Hospital. Doctor Heggie is a member of the Masonic Fraternity, belongs to the Seminole, Florida Yacht, Florida Country and Timuquana Clubs, and in politics is a democrat.

THEODORE HOFSTATTER. One of America's foremost designers and manufacturers of furniture and interior decoration, Theodore Hofstatter since 1911 has regarded Florida as his home state. He resided for several years in Miami, but is now a resident of Saint Augustine.

For many years he was actively connected with a distinctive industry of New York City, the founder of which was his father, Theodore Hofstatter, Sr. His father was born in Carlsruhe, Baden, Germany, was educated as a civil engineer in the Polytechnic Institute and was an artillery man in the German forces until the Revolution of 1848. During that revolution he was imprisoned at Rastatt, but subsequently escaped and came to America. In 1851, at New York, he and another German, a wood carver, established the firm of Hofstatter and Schilling, furniture manufacturers. They developed a very successful business, and Theodore Hofstatter eventually bought out his partner and continued the enterprise alone. At the beginning of the American Civil war he became a captain in Company E of the Fifteenth Heavy Artillery, but owing to his previous experience as a soldier and an engineer he was soon relieved of field duty and had the construction of all the forts around Alexandria, Virginia. He stood high in the confidence of General McClellan, and succeeded in getting the indorsement of this leader of the German method of making bombs and building powder magazines. During the closing months of the war he was commander of Fort Lyon. He then returned to New York City, and in a few years had made his furniture business one of the largest in America at that time. He introduced into America the Turkish upholstered work. The greater part of the product of his factory went to the Southern States and to California. In 1871 he retired from active business and lived in Germany until his death. He was the author of several scientific works. His business was left to the management of his two sons, Adolph G. and Theodore.

Theodore Hofstatter, Jr., was born at Rastatt, Germany, in 1848, and since early infancy has lived in America and is an American in every sense except the place of nativity. He was reared and educated in New York, and after his father's retirement he conducted the business alone for a time until he was joined by his brother, making the firm Hofstatter's Sons. This is a wholesale manufacturing business. In 1885 Theodore Hofstatter established the Theodore Hofstatter & Company, a decorative branch of the business, to which his personal inclinations and artistic talents attracted him. In the decorative treatment of homes and public and semi-public buildings and in the reproduction of the various periods and styles, Theodore Hofstatter & Company for years has undoubtedly ranked among the greatest concerns of the kind in America. While the organization has embraced a large group of artists and mechanics, the spirit of the enterprise has come largely from Mr. Hofstatter himself, who has the historical knowledge and the creative genius eminently qualifying him as a master of everything connected with interior decoration. Some of the public buildings in New York City which exemplify his art and the product of his manufacturing establishment are the City Club, the DownTown Club, the Arkwright Club and the Hotel Savoy.

Mr. Hofstatter was for several years president of the Furniture Board of Trade, president of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Club and the Mechanics and Tradesmen Association, New York, and president of the Burough of Alpine, New Jersey. He is an inventor and has a number of patents on devices used in the manufacture of furniture. He is a member of the Veteran Asso
