McCaleb, E. Howard, Jr., well-known attorney of New Orleans, was born in New Orleans, Dec. 23, 1868; a son of the late E. Howard McCaleb, elsewhere mentioned in this work. In 1885 he graduated from Spring Hill college (Alabama), then took a special literary course at the University of Virginia, and in 1891 graduated in law from Tulane university, New Orleans. Following his graduation, Mr. McCaleb served as minute clerk of the civil district court, and from 1892 to 1900 occupied the important position of attorney to the tax collector of the city of New Orleans, but on account of increasing demands for his professional advice, he found himself obliged to retire from this position and become associated with his father in the practice of law several years before the death of the latter, this partnership continuing uninterruptedly unto the end of the life of the father, since which time he had handled the large legal business of this firm. In 1891 Mr. McCaleb was married to Miss Elodie Louise Barrière.
