Looney, Frank J., a prominent lawyer and resident of Shreveport, in which city
he was born June 4, 1873, is a son of Jeremiah F. and Isabelle (O'Neill)
Looney. His father was born in Ireland, and came to the United States an
orphan boy. He lived in Philadelphia for a number of years and then in St.
Louis. From the latter city he came to Shreveport, where he engaged in the
saddlery, harness and wagon business. He was a prosperous businessman, and
highly esteemed by the people in the community in which he lived. He passed
away in 1904, aged 64 years. Soon after coming to Shreveport he married
Isabelle O'Neill, who was a native of Alabama. She bore him 3 children that
grew to maturity, and died when the subject of this sketch was a mere boy.
The father afterwards married a second time, and by this marriage became the
father of 4 children. Frank J. Looney was reared in Shreveport and educated
at Thatcher 's military institute, after which he he entered the law
department of Tulane university, remaining there for 1 year. After this he
enrolled at Washington and Lee university, at Lexington, Va., from which he
graduated in law in 1894, and at once began the practice of his profession, in
which he has achieved gratifying success. Mr. Looney has long been active in
the political affairs of his community, and is a staunch advocate of the
principles of Democracy. He was a delegate to the national Democratic
convention in 1908, and alternate delegate in 1912 at Baltimore. During the
Spanish-American war Mr. Looney served as a captain of Company D, Hood's
Immunes, which reached Cuba, and after the close of hostilities, he returned
to the practice of law. Mr. Looney is a Roman Catholic, in church faith, and
in public affairs manifests a commendable public spirit. In 1903, Mr. Looney
married Miss Adeline Leonard, of Shreveport. Four children have blessed this
union, namely: Josephine , Francis, Frederick and William E.
