Rev. William B. MeCool, occupied as a min- ister and farmer in Davis Township, was born in Fayette County. Ala., October 25, 1844, and is the son of A. J. and Nancy (Ashcraft) McCool. [See sketch of Y. B. McCool, this work. ] Mr. McCool came to this State in 1861 with his parents, and enlisted the same year in the Eleventh Arkansas Regiment, remaining in the Confederate service

until the close of the war, and participating in the fight at New Madrid and Island No. 10, where he was taken prisoner and held five months at Camp Douglas, Chicago. He was exchanged at Vicks- burg and reorganized the colored regiment, taking part in the fight at Clinton, La., and Old Frank- lin, Miss. He was finally paroled at Crystal Springs in the spring of 1865. Returning home, he attended school for a time, but afterward en- gaged in farming, and in 1861 united with the Missionary Baptist Church, being licensed to preach in 1870 and ordained in 1872. Since then he has had charge of from two to four churches constantly, and his laborious and earnest efforts in the work of the ministry have been much appre- ciated. In the year 1871 Mr. McCool was married to Amanda N. Paxton, of Mississippi, and daugh- ter of J. J. and Isabella Paxton. Mr. McCool bought the place where he now resides in 1871, and has made many improvements, now having a good double log-house and commodious barn, and also a fine orchard. The farm consists of sixty acres, besides which he owns forty acres of excel- lent timber land. Five children have been born to this union: George F., James B., William W., Mary I. and Hattie. Mr. McCool is Chaplain of Sheridan Masonic Lodge.

William D. McDonald, surveyor of Grant Coun- ty and farmer of Merry Green Township. Among the prominent men of this county the name of William D. McDonald should not be omitted. He was born in Calhoun County, Miss., January 30, 1854, and is the son of John McDonald, of South Carolina nativity, who was born in Newberry Dis- trict in 1814, remaining there until eighteen years old when he went to Alabama and there married Miss Ann Hannah, a native of that State. After their marriage they resided in Alabama for some years. then moved to Mississippi and after a resi- dence of seventeen years went to Arkansas, taking up their abode where he now resides. He has served as justice of the peace for two or more terms and has also been a member of the school board for a number of years. W. D. McDonald came to this State and county with his parents when quite a young child and received a good edu-

cation in the district schools and afterward at the Sheridan High School. That he improved all the opportunities offered him is shown by his career since then. He commenced teaching in 1876 and continued to do so for a number of years; but still not satisfied with his qualifications he attended the Sheridan school for two years. In 1878 he is found in the "Old Star State" (Texas) where he taught for two years, but though he was devoted to his school and the advancement of his pupils, he still found time to become interested and attracted by one Miss Nancy Sanders, a native of Grant County. Mr. McDonald was bereft of his wife in 1880, who left four children. After her death 'he returned to Arkansas and in 1883 married his pres- ent wife, a charming widow, Mrs. Emily V. Sud- · duth (nee Rushing), a daughter of Rev. J. Rushing. They settled on the farm where his wife had pre- viously resided. Of this happy marriage three children have been born. Mr. McDonald was elected justice of the peace before he moved to Texas and served one term to the entire satisfaction of the community. On his return from Texas he was elected surveyor of the county. Mr. McDon- ald and his estimable wife are members of the Baptist Church to which they give their valuable and substantial support, as do they in all enter- prises worthy of assistance, Mr. McDonald is a member of the Agricultural Wheel.

John Messenger, retired merchant of Pratts- ville, was born in the State of Alabama, March 31, 1823, his father, Ralph Messenger, being a natve of the old Nutmeg State (Connecticut), and com- ing south when a young man, settling and marry- ing in Alabama. His wife was Charlotte Mont- gomery, a native of the latter State. In 1825 they moved to Nashville, where Mr. Messenger engaged in the mercantile business until his death, about 1833. Soon after Mrs. Messenger returned to Alabama, settling at Florence, where she lived a number of years. Her sou, John, remained with her until he had reached his manhood, when he left home and led a wandering life for three or four years. When he settled again it was at Ful- ton, Miss., there engaging in the newspaper busi- ness, which he followed for nearly ten years, or

until being elected a clerk of the vice-chancery court. He served three years, when the office was abolished, after which, adopting the business of his father, he remained one year in Fulton. In the year 1860 he moved to Arkansas, and located on a farm in what is now Grant County, which he worked for about two years. During the war he moved to Arkadelphia, was again engaged in news- paper work for about three years, and then in con- nection with Rev. J. E. Cobb, removed the paper to Little Rock. Mr. Messenger relinquished his portion of the publication, and returned to his farm in Grant County. Several years were here passed in cultivating the soil and rearing his family. In 1881 he re-engaged in the mercantile business, but after about eight years, he sold out to his son. Mr. Messenger was married at Fulton, Miss., in 1850, to Esther Wood, a native of that State, and daughter of James Wood. They have reared two children: J. L. [whose sketch follows this] and E. F. They have lost three in infancy, and J. O. Messenger, who died in about 1878, in his twenty- first year. Mr. and Mrs. Messenger are both act- ive members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

James L. Messenger, of the firm of Messenger Brothers, merchants of Prattsville, is a personage well known throughout that section of the country, and an honored son of an esteemed father. A na- tive of Mississippi, he was born at Fulton, August 9, 1855, and when about five years of age, he came to this State with his father, John Messen- ger, with whom he remained until he reached his majority, receiving all the advantages that were to be had in the way of schooling at that time. He then engaged with the senior Messenger in business in Grant County, in 1880, and a short time after bought out his father's interest, and the present firm was formed. They have just completed a new building at Prattsville, 24x60 feet, and carry a heavy and complete stock of general merchandise, enjoying a business of about $20,000 annually. Mr. Messenger found a worthy companion in the .person of Miss Sarah Leet, born and educated in Grant County, where they were married in 1875. They have six attractive children who fill their house with sunshine and glee. Their names are:

Arkansas Rosa, Mattie, John O., Esther Lee, Eugene and Ezekiel. Mr. and Mrs. Messenger are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in which the former is secretary. He was also appointed postmaster in Prattsville, in 1886.

J. Fletcher Moore, of whom honorable mention should be made, was born in Guilford County, N. C., November 29, 1825, and is the son of Alpha P. and Anna D. (Guinn) Moore, both natives of North Carolina. The senior Moore was a teacher and planter, residing in Guilford County up to 1834, when he located in Henry County, Tenn., and moved to Mississippi in 1843, settling in Chickasaw County, and afterward in Calhoun County. He died in the Confederate service, at Columbus, Ky., and his wife survived him until 1885, dying at Grant County, Ark. Fletcher Moore grew to maturity in Tennessse, remaining with his father until about twenty-four years old. In 1853 he moved to Arkansas, locating in what is now Grant County, and on the same section of land where he now resides. That he has made a success of farming, is clearly demonstrated by the fine condition his place is now in. He has 300 acres in one tract, and abont seventy-five under a high state of cultivation. Good stables, sheds, etc., and a nice comfortable house, are among the conveniences. An excellent orchard of peaches and apples have shown by their returns what care and cultivation can do. Mr. Moore was first married, in Mississippi, January 30, 1850, to Martha C. Clements, a native of Alabama, and a daughter of John Clements. In 1876 she died. leaving five children to the care of their father. Two years later Mr. Moore again married, this time Mrs. McElroy (nee Holland), of Independence County, Ark. Five children have blessed this union. Mr. and Mrs. Moore are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in which he is steward. He has served four consecutive terms as justice of his township, and is also an influential member of the school board. Although Mr. Moore has alarge family of his own, he has reared and educated six orphans, giving them all the advantages that his own children received, and while he fain would hide his good acts under a bushel, it would be im-

possible to do so, as there are many acts of charity and benevolence that may never reach the ears of the outside world; howbeit they are thoroughly appreciated by those on whom they are conferred.

Thomas B. Morton was born in Hopkinsville, Ky., on February 22, 1843. His father, Peter F. Morton, at that time a shoemaker, was a native of Kentucky, and his mother, whose maiden name was Maria L. Allen, was a native of Christian County, in the same State. They were married in Hopkinsville on October 31, 1837. The family moved to Pine Bluff, Jefferson County, Ark., in the spring of 1850, where the father engaged in the grocery business, and conducted it with some de- gree of success until the fall of 1852, when he was elected sheriff of his county. He was re-elected in 1854, and died about the middle of his second term, on August 10, 1855. His widow, Maria L., was married to Mr. R. B. Steele, in Pine Bluff, on February 19, 1857. Mr. Steele died on July 12, 1861, and Mrs. Steele has since then remained a widow. She is now living in the city of Pine Bluff with her daughter, Mrs. C. A., wife of Capt. L. P. Drake, and sister of the subject of this sketch. To R. B. and M. L. Steele one child was born, a girl, and she died in childhood. To P. F. and M. L. Morton nine children were born, and the only ones now surviving are Thomas B. Morton and the daughter with whom the mother is living, all the others having died in childhood, except Samuel A., whose death is mentioned later on in this sketch. After the family settled in Pine Bluff, Thomas B. enjoyed the benefits of such schools as the village afforded until the death of his father, which occurred when the boy was twelve years of age. Since then a term of two months is the limit of his school opportunities. He entered the print- ing office of the Pine Bluff American in the early part of the year 1856, and remained with it and its successor, the Jefferson Enterprise, until the death of the last-named paper, in the summer of 1858. In the spring of 1859 he set in to serve an apprenticeship of three years at the carpenter's trade with G. W. and W. T. Hawley; but in the latter part of the summer of 1861, a short time prior to the expiration of his term, he engaged to

779

GRANT COUNTY.

enlist in the Southern army, in what was afterward John M. Bradley's regiment. By the consent of his employers, this terminated his apprenticeship. Before he was mustered into service his step-father died, and he cancelled the engagement that he might remain at home with his mother. His brother, Samuel, in the spring of 1861, enlisted in the State service for one year, with the Jefferson Guards. In the spring of 1862, believing that Sam would soon return, he enlisted in the South- ern army, in Capt. Read Fletcher's company. In this belief he was mistaken, for at the expiration of his term, Sam enlisted for three years, or dur- ing the war, in the Confederate service, and was killed at the battle of Shiloh. Thomas B. re- mained in the service but four months, during which time he was in no engagements. Upon being discharged on account of ill health, he returned to his home in Pine Bluff, where he remained un- til the occupation of that place by the Federals, in 1864. To avoid taking the oath of allegiance re- quired by the Federal authorities, he then went outside of the lines, and lived in the home of his annt. Mrs. Jane Harding, until the summer of 1865, when he went back in the lines and engaged in the occupation of clerking until the close of the war, part of the time with a sutler in an Illinois Federal regiment. In 1866 he became joint owner with Mr. J. L. Bowers of the office of the Pine Bluff Dispatch, and for some time assisted in the publication of that paper. He then entered the law office of Mr. H. R. Withers in the spring of 1868; was admitted to the bar in the latter part of that year, and moved to Grant County, Ark., on July 29, 1869, where he has continued to reside, mostly, as now, in Sheridan, the county seat. The law not affording sufficient income, in the fall of 1871 he engaged in the mercantile business with Mr. Francis Posey, and bought the entire business in the latter part of the year 1873. In 1874 the profits of a former successful business were largely scattered among a farming people; and, in conse- quence of an almost unprecedented drought, they were afterward gathered together so slowly as to be available only for the support of his family. He then resumed the practice of law, but was elected,

in September, 1876, to represent his county in the lower house of the General Assembly. In 1877 he again engaged in the mercantile business, this time with Daniel Johnson, and went from that business into the circuit clerk's office, as deputy, in the winter of 1879; was elected clerk of the circuit court in September, 1880, in September. 1882, and again in September, 1884. He did not stand for re-election in 1886, but entered the mercantile firm of Bales, Morton & Wilson, and began busi- ness in November, 1886, which continued until November, 1888. In September, 1888, he was elected to the State senate from the Ninth district, which embraces the counties of Grant, Hot Spring and Saline. His term is four years. Having served at the session of 1889, he will also be a member of the senate of 1891. Mr. Morton was happily mar- ried to Miss Martha E., danghter of Francis and Lucinda Posey, on January 25, 1872, the issue of this union being nine children, the oldest of whom, a girl sixteen years of age, is now in attendance at the Millersburg Female College, at Millersburg, Ky. Mr. Morton is fond of English literature, and has some local reputation as a writer. The pro- dnetions of his pen have appeared in the Arkansas Gazette, Arkansas Democrat, Pine Bluff Commer- cial and Pine Bluff Press-Eagle. He says that he has frequently tried to get into the charmed circle of the great magazines, but so far without success. He is hopeful that he may yet succeed in making a permanent contribution to American poetry. In the Christian religion he is a firm believer, and is an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In Masonry, he has successively taken the Blue Lodge, Chapter and Council de- grees, and has been secretary, Senior Warden and Worshipfnl Master of his lodge.

James M. Nall. One of the prominent men of Merry Green Township is James M. Nall, who was born in Saline (afterward Grant) County, Ark., April 19, 1854, and is the son of Capt. Na- than and Elizabeth (Shepherd) Nall, natives of Alabama and Arkansas, respectively. Mrs. Nall was the daughter of Isaac Shepherd, one of the pioneers of this county. Nathan Nall first came to Arkansas when a young man about the year

1850, but remained only a short time, as his in- terests were centered at that time in Alabama. After his marriage, in 1852, he returned to this State and located in what is now Grant County, in DeKalb Township, and two years later moved three miles west of Sheridan, where he improved a farm and reared his family. He served some three years in the Confederate army, and was cap- tain of a company. After the war he returned to his home and family and continued farming until his death, in 1889. Of a family of six children, three boys and three girls, all married and having families of their own. J. M. is the oldest son. He remained. with his father until his marriage, which occurred in December, 1873, when he was twenty years of age, to Miss Julia J. McDonald. She was a native of Mississippi, but was educated in Arkan- sas. After his union Mr. Nall located on a farm adjoining his father's, and a short time later moved to the place where he now resides. Al- though there are many fine estates in the sur- rounding country, that of Mr. Nall is by no means an inferior one. He has eighty acres highly cul- tivated and twenty five acres of excellent pastur- age. In connection with this he also owns 120 acres of heavy timber land. A comfortable house and good barn and other buildings, all in good con- dition give evidence that the "Lord of the Manor" is a wide-awake and industrious man. To Mr. and Mrs. Nall have been born six children: Ida Belle (a young lady), Estella, Elizabeth, Leona, Mary Iler and Jane Nall. Mrs. Nall and her oldest daughter are members of the Baptist Church.

Rev. James S. Nicholson has been actively oc- cupied in preaching the Gospel with the earnest- ness and sincerity which have redounded to his own good and to the honor and glory of his Mas- ter. He is a well-known minister of the Method- ist Episcopal Church and belongs to the Little Rock Conference. Born in Mississippi, in 1852, in what is now called Alcorn County, he is the son of Rev. A. Nicholson, a native of Alabama, who was a local preacher for several years before and after his marriage to Miss Caroline Herring, also of that State. His long and faithful life was end- ed in Prairie County, Ark., in 1886, and his self-

sacrificing work for the church resulted in many converts who will shine as gems in his crown. J. S. Nicholson, the subject of this sketch, joined the church when quite a young man and at an early date evinced a desire to follow his father's calling. In September, 1873, he was licensed to preach, and admitted to the ministry in 1878, and in the fall of 1881, came to Arkansas, joining this conference in the fall of the same year. He has had charge of several churches annually and has resided in Sheridan since June, his labors extend- ing during this time over congregations in Prai- rie, Clark, Garland, Montgomery, Saline, as well as Grant Counties. July 2, 1874, he married Mary H. Patton, a native of Mississippi. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson have four children living and have lost one. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity.

Joseph W. Paxton, who was born in Missis- sippi, October 28, 1840, is the son of J. W. Pax- ton, originally from Alabama, and who married Miss Isabella Simonds, a native of Mississippi. Joseph W. moved to Arkansas in 1858, where he now resides. During the war he enlisted in the Second Arkansas Infantry in 1862, participating in the fight at Murfreesboro, Liberty Gap, Chicka- manga and Missionary Ridge: and at Lookout Mountain received a severe flesh-wound in the shoulder from a gunshot. He also took an active part in numerous other battles and remained in the Confederate service till the close of the war. In the spring of 1865, coming home on a furlough, Mr. Paxton was captured and held a prisoner at Little Rock until peace was restored. On Decem- ber 27, 1867. he took unto himself a companion in the person of Virginia Hanse, of Texas birth, and a daughter of William Hanse. Mr. Paxton located near his father's place and on his present farm in the fall of 1881. He has considerable timber land, seventy-five acres of it being cleared and improved and under a high state of cultiva- tion, all the result of his own industry and enter- prise. A new frame house, good stables and neces- sary buildings indicate that thrift and prosper- ity abound. Seven children gladden the hearts of their parents: William J., Henry C., G. L., Benton, T. D., Edgar W. and Mary J. C. Mr.

and Mrs. Paxton belong to the Missionary Baptist Church and the school board recognizes in him an influential and interested member.

William E. Poe, farmer, merchant and post- master and a resident of DeKalb Township, was born July 21, 1853. and is the son of Judge W. T. and Sarah E. (Reynolds) Poe, both natives of Alabama. Judge Poe resided in Alabama until 1850, when he moved to Arkansas and settled on the place where his son now resides. He started a store here abont 1864, and established a post- office and served as postmaster until his death in 1884. His wife died when William was an infant. He was married three times, his first wife being the mother of William E. Judge Poe served as county judge both of Saline and Grant Counties after the division of the territory, and also held other official offices, discharging his trusts in a capable manner. William E. received an excel- lent education in the common schools, and was afterward sent to the university at Fayetteville. After completing his literary learning he returned home and remained with his father until his mar- riage, which occurred December 27, 1876, to Miss Sarah E. Holiman, a daughter of Joshua Holiman (whose sketch appears elsewhere in this volume). After this event Mr. Poe located on the same tract of land on which he now resides, and has been carrying on farming quite extensively since that time. One might think that his farming opera- tions would occupy all his time and attention, but he succeeded his father as postmaster at Belfast, - and has held that office to the entire satisfaction of the community. Mr. Poe engaged in the mercan- tile business in 1884, and that he has made a suc- cess of it in every way is evinced by the large and substantial trade he has established. The connec- tion of the name of Judge Poe with any business transaction is a guarantee of perfect satisfaction to all concerned. He was elected justice of the peace of DeKalb Township, Grant County, in 1884, was re-elected in 1886, and again in 1888. Mr. and Mrs. Poe have six children: Minnie Lee, Dora, Samuel A., Alma, Walter and Mellie. They are members of the Baptist Church, and Mr. Poe is a Master Mason, in which order he is Junior Warden.

Francis Posey, son of Samuel and Ruth Posey, both natives of South Carolina, was born in Edge- field District of that State, on December 22, 1824. The family moved to Louisiana, in 1828, and lo- cated in Natchitoches Parish, where they remained for about ten years. In 1839 they went to East Carroll Parish, La., where, in 1840, the father was drowned in the Mississippi River. In 1841 his widowed mother and her children, Joshua M., Francis, Elizabeth A. and Ellen Posey, located in the territory then embraced in Saline (but now in Grant) County, in the State of Arkansas. After coming to this State, the mother married Edward Calvert, who died in 1865. From that time until her death, which occurred on March 10, 1870, she lived with the subject of this sketch. Mr. Francis Posey married Miss Frances J. Rateliff, a native of Mississippi, November 28, 1844. She died on November 8, 1845. In January, 1848, he mar- ried Sarah L., daughter of John Worthen, with whom he is now living. They have reared a family of nine children, whose names are: Francis R., Josephine (wife of James B. Moore), Martha E. (wife of T. B. Morton, whose name appears else- where in this work), Ruth (wife of J. T. Webb), Joshua M., S. H. T., Sarah L. (widow of F. E. Johnson), Ella (wife of W. C. C. Dorough, the present sheriff of Grant County) and William A. [Sketches of Joshua M. Posey and W. C. C. Dor- ough also appear in this work. ] Mrs. Posey is originally from Lafayette County, Tenn. When Mr. Posey came to Arkansas, he was a boy seven- teen years of age. Having been brought up to agricultural pursuits, he chose farming as his oc- cupation, and followed it successfully until the winter of 1869. when he began the first mercantile business ever conducted in Sheridan (at that time the newly located county seat of the new county of Grant), taking in with him T. B. Morton as a part- ner. In 1871 he sold out to Mr. Morton, who had in the meantime become his son-in-law, and again devoted himself exclusively to his farm, which was located six miles west of Sheridan, and on which he had continued to reside, while doing business in that town. He left his farm in 1884, moving to Sheridan, where he has since continued to re-

side. Mr. Posey is one of the early pioneers of the county. Coming here forty-eight years before the creation of the county, when the territory of which it is composed was sparsely settled, when public highways were almost unknown, and when schools and churches were extremely scarce, he has lived to see the country largely populated, checkered with public thoroughfares, dotted with common schoolhouses, and abounding with church houses accessible to its entire people. During this event- ful time he has taken a lively interest in public matters. To him is largely due the passage of the act creating the county of Grant. He and his wife are both members of the Baptist Church. He is a Master Mason of thirty-nine years' standing, having been made such at Pine Bluff, Ark., in 1850.
