opponent. The Judge is a man whose decisions are not made without careful and painstaking study of the evidence adduced, but on the con- trary all feel that his judgment can be relied upon. He is one of the most efficient officials the county has ever had. When first elected to the position of judge the county had $46,000 script out, but it is now clear of debt and has over $5,000 in the treasury, which will be increased to $30,000 at the next tax paying. He has now a move on foot for the erection of a new court house and jail, and no doubt the work will soon be begun. While living at Corner Stone he was magistrate, and filled the duties incumbent upon that office ably and well for ten years. He was married, in 1866, to Miss Nannie B. Collins, a native of the Old Dominion.

Melvin Parse (deceased). Among the well- known and highly-esteemed business men of Pine Bluff was Mr. Parse, who was born in Ohio in 1838, and died in May, 1882. He left the paren- tal roof at the age of fifteen or sixteen years, and went to Cincinnati, where he learned the jeweler's trade, subsequently, on turning from Ohio. set- tling at Cairo, Ill., and thence to Arkansas in 1857 or 1858. He located at Pine Bluff, and engaged in the jeweler's business, carrying on a successful trade until his patriotic instincts led him to join the United States army in the late war, and he enlisted in 1862, serving till the close. He re- turned to Pine Bluff upon the cessation of hostil- ities, and in 1868 was married to his second wife and surviving widow, Mrs. Mary (Elliott) Coustey. who still carries on the business left by her hus- band. She is a very estimable lady, and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which she is active and prominent, as was Mr. Parse in his lifetime. The latter was much interested in po- litical events, though not an office holder. There were no children by her last marriage, but Mrs. Parse had a daughter by her former husband, Mary, who married Harry H. Shinn, a photographer of Pine Bluff. She died June 1, 1889, leaving two children, Hallie and Mary, who are living with their grandmother. Mrs. Parse is a native of Vir- ginia. When a child, she moved to Mississippi

with her parents, and when grown, to Louisiana, in 1866 coming to Arkansas. She was the daugh- ter of Simeon and Eliza Elliott, of Virginia. The father died in Mississippi in 1851, and the mother in 1866, at this place. There were five children in this family, only two of whom are now living, both of Pine Bluff. Anna, the wife of G. W. Prigmore, died in 1878, leaving two children; her husband died in 1887.

Henry C. Phillips, not unknown to the many citizens of Jefferson County, was born on January 30, 1844, in Conway County, Ark., and is the son of Nelson and Minerva (Vandyke) Phillips, of North Carolina and Georgia, respectively, the former dying in Jefferson County, Ark., in 1855, at the age of fifty-five years, and the mother in 1859, when thirty seven years of age. The parents were married in Conway County, which they made their home until the year 1847, when they moved to Jefferson County, and located on the farm now occupied by Thomas H. Collier. This section of the country was then very thinly settled, and what few families did reside here were con- stantly terrorized by outlaws and desperadoes. It was from an encounter with one of these men that the elder Phillips received a wound from which he never fully recovered, and died nineteen years later. He opened up one of the first farms in that sec- tion, and also operated a gin. After his death his widow married a Mr. C. H. Price, and moved to what is now Colton Center, where she resided un- til her death. In politics, the father was a Whig, and in secret societies, a Mason of high standing. He was a saddler and harness-maker by trade, but turned his attention more to farming than anything else. The Vandyke family were of Dutch origin. Seven children were born to the elder Phillips and his wife, of whom four are yet living: Henry C., Charles E. (a banker in Hillsboro, Tex.), Thomas M. (a farmer in Jefferson County) and Thaddeus C. (a banker in the State of Texas). Those de- ceased are Mary A., an infant and Nelson. Henry C. was educated in the schools of Jefferson County, and continued his studies until shortly after his mother's death. He then went to work for a neighbor, and remained with him until March,

1861, when he joined the Confederate army, and enlisted in G. W. Carroll's company of the Eight- eenth Arkansas Infantry, as a private soldier. He operated generally east of the Mississippi River until the surrender of Port Hudson, and then he was transferred to the western territory. During his service Mr. Phillips took part in a great many battles: The evacuation of Corinth, the second battle at that place, Iuka, Port Hudson, and on the western side of the river he was assigned to the quartermaster's department, taking part in a number of raids and minor engagements. After the war he turned his attention to farming, but in 1871 entered into commercial life near Rob Roy, which he carried on until the year 1882, when his farming interests demanded his exclusive attention. Upon leaving the army he was practically bank- rupt, and the struggle against adversity up to 1871 was a bitter one, but since that year the tide of fortune seems to have turned in his favor, and he is now in a prosperous and independent position. He owns about 655 acres of very fertile land, and has placed some 230 acres under cultivation. In 1866 he was married to Miss Emma A. Poole, of Jefferson County, who died two years later, leav- ing two children, both deceased since. In politics, Mr. Phillips is and always has been a stanch Dem- ocrat. He was elected justice of the peace, and filled that office for a number of years with great credit, winning the admiration and esteem of every citizen in his county.

Albert G. Pierce, one of the most prominent of old settlers in Jefferson County, was born in Edge- field District, South Carolina, on May 17, 1824, and is a son of Benjamin and Rachel (Rambo) Pierce, of Pennsylvania and South Carolina, re- spectively. The father was of English descent and a painter by trade, and followed that calling until his death in Hamburg, S. C. Some time after his decease his widow was married to Mr. William Weir, who died in Jefferson County at the age of seventy years. Four children were born to her first marriage, of whom two are yet living: John (a prosperous farmer in Georgia) and Albert G. (the principal of this sketch). She became the mother of six children by her second marriage, of

whom three died in infancy and three lost their lives while fighting under the stars and bars dur- ing the Rebellion. Albert G. remained with his mother until he had reached his twenty- fourth year, when he commenced in life for himself. His first venture was at farming, and he received $75 for his services the first year. He continued to work for others until the year 1853, when he purchased a piece of land with the money he had earned, and commenced farming on his own land. On June 26 of the same year he was married to Miss Martha B. Moore, of Rutherford County, Tenn., by whom he had three children, of whom two are yet living: John B. (who is at present man- aging his father's farm) and Fannie F. (wife of Felix Thompson). Mrs. Pierce was born August 6, 1829, and died in Jefferson County, Ark., on August 19, 1872, a firm believer in the Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1874 he married Mrs. Mary (Moore) Morrow, a sister of his first wife, and widow of John Morrow, of Jefferson County, but a second time the fates decreed that Mr. Pierce should become a widower, and this wife died in 1885. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, an upright moral man, and a trus- tee in Bethlehem Church. During the war his sympathies were with the Southern States, and he joined the Confederate service for a brief period, but his natural aversion to the shedding of human blood, and his horror at seeing hundreds of his fellow-beings slaughtered around him, induced him to quit the ranks. Mr. Pierce is looked upon with the genuine respect that comes to all men of his class. Honesty, industry and perseverance have formed his motto through life. and his strict adherence to these principles have crowned him with success. Jolın B. Pierce, who manages his father's farm, is conceded to be a promising young man of Jeffer- son County. He was married to Miss Lummie Hudgens, a daughter of John A. Hudgens, of Jefferson County, whose name is too well known to need any comment. Two children were born to Mr. John B. Pierce and wife: Ambrose Garland and John A. (the latter deceased). They are both members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and in politics Mr. Pierce is a Democrat.

Jesse W. Pitts (deceased), one of the leading men of Arkansas, and a representative farmer and citizen of Jefferson County, was born in Davidson County, Tenn., near the city of Nashville, Octo- ber 12, 1831, where he continued to reside until twenty-one years of age. His education was ac- quired at the schools of Nashville. His parents were both natives of Tennessee. His father, Jesse B. Pitts, was born in 1796, and died in Nashville, in 1868, and the mother of Mr. Pitts was Nancy Pitts, born in 1803, and died in Nashville in Feb- ruary, 1889. They were members of the Methodist Church, and were eminently and highly respected. Arriving at his majority, Jesse W. Pitts came to Arkansas, and engaged in planting in Jefferson County about five miles down the river from Pine Bluff, where he resided until his death, July 9, 1884. His great success in life proved him to be one of the best farmers and financial managers in this part of the State, and at the time of his death he owned about 1,200 acres of land, of which 800 acres were under cultivation. In 1868 he was united in marriage with Mrs. S. A. Jarvis. for- merly Miss Smith, daughter and youngest child of Anderson and Nancy (Adkins) Smith, who came to Arkansas in an early day and settled on a planta- tion near Pine Bluff. Here her mother died about 1843, and her father in 1873. Mrs. Pitts has three living children, viz .: Floyd A. and Don A. Jar- vis, by her first marriage, and Nettie Pitts (now the wife of Leo M. Andrews) by her second mar- riage. Mr. Pitts was a Presbyterian, a faithful friend and neighbor, a distinguished gentleman, and by his death the county lost one of its best citizens.

Col. Joe C. Pleasants, the subject of this sketch, a native of Virginia, and the youngest of eleven children, was of English extraction, his ancestors having arrived on these shores with the " Pilgrim Fathers." He was born in Louisa County, Va., on April 14, 1817. He had every educational advantage which the times afforded, and was al- ways an eager and appreciative student, fully abreast with the progress of the period, and eager- ly looking forward to greater development. He possessed a fine physique, being six feet four

inches tall. and of splendid symmetry. He was married March 14, 1839, to Miss Minerva Ann Phillips, of Caroline County, Va. In the year 1844 he moved by private conveyance from Virginia to Arkansas, and settled on Crowley's Ridge, in Phillips County, about twelve miles from the (now) city of Helena. There he built a pleasant home, but, being possessed with a roving disposition, he sold out and moved again, opening and selling farm after farm, until in 1858 he bought of Gen. William Ashley, of Little Rock, the family's pres- ent home in Arkansas County, on Arkansas River. Here he opened wild land and planted a snug home. He also built about three miles of State levee, for which he received a liberal remuneration, and prospered without interruption until the Civil War broke ont in 1861. Espousing the Southern cause from the beginning, he was aid to Gen. Hardee east of the Mississippi River for some time, but after the battle of Shiloh was transferred to the Trans-Mississippi department, and was col- onel of the First Trans-Mississippi Regiment (infantry); his son, Henry C. Pleasants, com- manded a company under him. Col. Pleasants was a model officer, and his men loved him as a father. He was wounded while leading a heroic charge at the battle of Prairie Grove, Ark., and died from the effects of it December 30, 1862. By his dying request he was brought home and buried amid the objects he most loved in life. In April of the following year his third daughter, a lovely child of seven summers, died, and was buried by his side. In July following Capt. Henry C. Pleasants. his only living son, was wounded in the battle of Helena, Ark., while leading his com- pany in a desperate charge, and died in a hospital in the city of Memphis July 30, 1863, aged nine- teen years and six months. He was one of the noblest of men. His family know not where he sleeps, but are sure the angels of God hold the key to his grave. Mrs. Pleasants, a sainted wife and mother, died in Little Rock December 12, 1876. The world was better because of her hav- ing lived in it. Only three of their seven chil- dren are living: Helen P. McDaniel (the oldest), Anna W. Jacobs (the fourth child), and Katie J.

Pleasants (the youngest). Mrs. McDaniel and Miss Katie live at the old home amid familiar and dear associations, but Mrs. Jacobs sold her share to strangers. and now resides in Little River County, Ark., near the Texas line. Mrs. McDan- iel is a widow, with two children: Joseph and Minerva. Mrs. Jacob has five children. All of them bid fair to make usefnl members of society.

James F. Quattlebaum, a leading planter of Central Arkansas, and a prominent resident of Jefferson County, was born in Edgefield District, South Carolina, on .December 14, 1854. He is a son of Henry M. and Louisa (Miller) Quattlebaum, of Edgefield and Lawrence Districts in the same State. The parents were there married and re- sided until 1861, when they moved to Arkansas and located in Jefferson County. The father was a very successful farmer during his life, and had the reputation of being one of the best in the State. In ante-bellum days he was an overseer on some of the largest plantations in his native State. His sympathies were with the Union before and during the struggle, and his strong denunciation of secession won the hatred of many Southerners, but his principle never changed even in the face of the strongest opposition, and his cause was vin- dicated by the total overthrow of the Coufederacy. His death occurred in 1872 at the age of forty- seven years, in Jefferson County, his wife dying before him in January, 1869. The mother was a devout Christian woman and a member of the Baptist Church, but attended service in the Method- ist Church as there was none of the Baptist creed in her neighborhood. The father was married three times and was the sire of twelve children, of whom seven are yet living: Martha A. (wife of W. F. Lindsey, a promising planter of Arkansas County), James F., Ada E. (wife of J. M. Barrett, a well known farmer of Jefferson County), Lee M. (a merchant in Lincoln County), Jones D. (a farmer and salesman in Jefferson County), Lawrence M. (residing with father) and Henry M. (also at home with his father). James F. received a good public school education, and early in life was taught self- reliance and industry. After the death of his father, the care of the family devolved upon him

as the eldest son, and he looked ont for their main- tenance and education in a manner that is deserv- ing of the greatest credit. He commenced farm- ing in 1874 and now owns 620 acres of land with 120 acres under cultivation, and has been one of the most successful planters in his county. In September, 1882, he was married to Miss Sallie Wheat, a daughter of A. J. Wheat, of Pine Bluff, by whom he had four children, one living and three dead, the first named Frank and the latter Horace M., John P. and Mary L. In politics Mr. Quattlebaum is a Democrat and stanch supporter of his party in that section. In 1879 he was elected constable and filled the office for almost two years. He was next elected justice of the peace and served nearly six years. Mr. Quattlebaum is one of the foremost citizens of Jefferson County, and a man much admired for his personal worth. He is active in all public and private enterprises for the good of his county, and is popular through- out that entire section.

Judge Lewis S. Reed, farmer, Dexter, Ark. This prominent and much esteemed citizen was born in North Carolina, July 11, 1818, and is the son of Rolly Reed, who is also a native of North Caro- lina, born in December, 1799. The father grew to manhood in his native State and was there mar- ried to Miss Charity Phillips in 1817, which union resulted in the birth of thirteen children, seven sons and six daughters. Eight of these children are now living, seven residing in Arkansas and one at Springfield. Mo. The father followed agricultural pursuits as a livelihood, and was the owner of 160 acres of good land at the time of his death which occurred in 1868.

To the Doctor and wife were born seven children, three sons and four daughters, six of whom are still living: Monroe B., Mattie S., Eva A., Sarah J., Joseph M. and Virginia C. The Doctor has practiced his profession for eighteen

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

He has been a member of the Masonic Lodge for about three years, and has held the office of justice of the peace and school director, the latter office for about six years. He entered the Union army under Col. Faulkner in 1862, and his first note- worthy engagement was at Chickamauga, where he was slightly wounded three times. He was dis- charged at Louisville, Ky., on September 6, 1865, after which he returned to his home and entered upon the practice of his profession. He moved from Illinois to Arkansas in 1872, and located at Wrightsville, where he laid out the town by that name in 1873. He subsequently acted as the first postmaster. He moved to Redfield in 1881, and has resided there ever since. Mrs. Reynolds is a member of the Baptist Church.

D. B. Riggin, dealer in all kinds of lumber and general furnishings, such as sash, doors and mouldings, was born near Baltimore, Md., in 1845, being the son of George W. and Martha (Rounds) Riggin. The father, a farmer by calling, was born in 1808, and is still living; the mother, whose birth occurred in 1804, died in 1865, a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. She had borne eight children, seven of whom are now living. and of these our subject was next to the youngest. The latter was reared to farm life, and at the age of twenty-one commenced working at carpentering, serving several years for small pay till his trade was learned In 1871 he came to Pine Bluff and worked by the day at his adopted vocation until 1877, when he engaged in saw-milling, generally, which business he has since followed, in connec- tion with contracting and building. Mr. Riggin is one of the self-made, energetic men of this por- tion of the State, and by hard and earnest work has made for himself a name among other worthy in- dividuals. He is now the proprietor of the Star Planing & Shingle Mills, an establishment adding substantially to the material interests of Pine Bluff. He is a member of the I. O. O. F. and Knights of Honor. In 1881 Mr. Riggin married Miss Katie Stephens, daughter of A. J. Stephens (deceased). To them have been born three chil- dren: George A. and Katie Belle, now living, and John H. (deceased).

Capt. J. F. Ritchie is a real estate dealer at Pine Bluff, Jefferson County, Ark. He was born in Dallas County, Ala., in May, 1836. and was a son of John C. and Jane (Campbell) Ritchie, natives of South Carolina and Tennessee, respect- ively. The family is of Scotch descent on the father's side, and of Irish descent on the mother's side. His great-grandfather on the mother's side emigrated to America with two brothers, he set- tling in Virginia, while his brothers located in the North. This ancestor was in the Revolutionary War, and died in Virginia. The father of John C. Ritchie (William Ritchie) was a farmer, served in the War of 1812, and died in South Carolina. John C. Ritchie and wife were married in Ala- bama, emigrated to Mississippi in 1840, and in 1856 came to Arkansas, when they located in Bradley County, where he opened up a store and also carried on a plantation. He died in Ouachita County, Ark., in the year 1861, being at that time probate judge of that county, which office he held for twelve or fifteen years. His wife is yet living and resides in Camden, Ark. There are six chil- dren of that family still alive: James F., George L., John C., Fannie (now Mrs. White), Mrs. W. K. Ramsey, and Mrs. Charles Gordon. Mr. J. F. Ritchie was raised in Mississippi, educated in the common schools of that State, and at the age of nineteen began the study of law, and in 1857 was admitted to the bar of Itawamba, Miss. The following year he removed to Calhoun County, where he practiced until 1860, when he was elected to the office of land attorney and State collector, which was paying him about $20,000 per annum, he being only a young man of twenty four, but the war breaking out, he felt it his duty to enter the ser- vice, and the following year enlisted in the Capital Guards of Little Rock. In the same year he was elected to lieutenantcy of Deshar Battalion, and in 1862. after the battle of Shiloh. when his company was consolidated with the Eighth Arkansas, he was made captain, which position he filled until he was wounded at the battle of Murfreesboro, by his right arm being shot entirely away, being taken off about half way between elbow and shoulder. He was left on the battlefield and was then taken pris-

After his exchange, he returned home and re- sumed his practice. He then removed to Camden, Ark., and in 1866 was elected district attorney, which office he held until after the reconstruction of the district. Capt. Ritchie remained there until 1874, when he went to Hot Springs, where he kept hotel for five years. In 1878 he came to Pine Bluff, and again engaged in the hotel business, in which occupation he continued until 1884. since which time he has been interested in the real estate business.
