David Bender, one of the oldest and most re- spected citizens now living in Little Rock, Ark., ' of Little Rock, and when this city fell into the

422

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

hands of the Federals he was recommended to the authorities as a stanch Union man, and his advice and council was sought by the men in command. In this situation Mr. Bender was the instrument of many kind deeds to the needy on either side. During the war he lived on a farm close by Little Rock. After that eventful period, his fame as a merchant having reached them, he was induced to enter the wholesale business in Little Rock with Woodruff & Co., of Chicago. This alliance lasted a few years and subsequently Mr. Bender went in with a man by the name of Cole, the style of firm being Cole & Bender. This firm was closed by bankruptcy, and Mr. Bender lost many thousands of dollars. He has ever since been dealing in land, and although he sustained some very heavy losses he still owns several thousand acres. Mr. Bender was married in Pennsylvania, the first time to a Miss Elder, and the second time to a Miss Whipple, of Vermont. He has been a native of eastern States many years, and is a strong member of the Presbyterian Church.

Dr. Edwin Bentley, United States army sur- geon, Little Rock, Ark. As a leading exponent of general surgery in its many various branches, Dr. Bentley is worthy of mention in a review of the foremost professional men of this locality. He was born in Connecticut in 1850, and holds diplomas from four of the leading medical schools in the city of New York. He is one of the most successful practitioners, and has been prominently connected with the Medical Department of Arkansas Univer- sity since its beginning or organization. He en- tered the United States army early in life, and has figured thus far as a surgeon in the employ of the United States. He was prominently identified with some of the most renowned medical colleges of the West, when located principally on the Pacific slope. From there he went to New Orleans, and thence to Little Rock, where he is now residing, and where he is not only held in great respect as a professional man, but is social and genial in all his intercourse with the public.

Dr. J. L. Blakemore, Little Rock. Ark. Dr. Blakemore's career as a practitioner is well and favorably known to the many who have tested his

healing ability, and, although young in years, he has been unusually successful, promising a bright outlook for the future. At present he is the sec- ond assistant physician of the State asylum at Little Rock, which position he fills in a manner satisfactory to all. He was born in Sebastian County, Ark., in 1862, grew to manhood in that county. and supplemented his common-school edu- cation with a course at Emery & Henry College. Virginia, graduating in 1885. Having concluded to pursue the study of medicine, he attended his first course of lectures at Memphis, Tenn., and afterward was a student at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn., from which he graduated in the spring of 1887. being appointed to his present position in July, 1888. He is the son of Dr. Will- iam and Nannie (Tramel) Blakemore, the former a native of Tennessee, and a physician of good standing in Greenwood, Ark.

Dr. Thomas P. Blunt, one of the leading phy- sicians in Pulaski County, was born in that county on August 1, 1856, and is a son of William S. and Polly Ann (Lamb) Blunt, the former a native of Maryland, but reared in Bowling Green, Ky., where his parents died when he was a boy. After the decease of his parents he went to reside with an uncle, with whom he remained until attaining his maturity, when he removed to Pulaski County. Ark., where he was married to his first wife, Miss Elizabeth Kirkpatrick, who died in 1850. The following year he was married to Mrs. Eliza Mar- shall, who died in 1852, and in 1853 he was mar- ried to his third wife, Miss Polly Ann Lamb. This lady also died after a happy married life, and he was married a fourth time, his next wife being Mrs. Elizabeth Lee. He resided in Mau- melle Township a great many years, and was a millwright during that time, but the declining years of his life were spent in Little Rock, where he died in September, 1880. He was a valued and highly esteemed citizen during his residence in Pulaski County, and built a great number of mills throughout Central Arkansas. The Doctor's mother, who died in August, 1861, was a daughter of Judge David R. Lamb, a native of Tennessee, who was one of the earliest settlers of Pulaski

423

PULASKI COUNTY.

County, where he served as judge of the county court for a number of years. The Doctor was the second child in a family of two sons and one danghter. Though early deprived of his mother by death, his subsequent training was most care. fully attended to by his stepmother (Mrs. Elizabeth Lee at the time of her marriage to Mr. Blunt), and the Doctor refers tenderly to her kind and earnest efforts to properly guide him, ascribing to her all the credit for whatever position he has reached in later life. He received a common-school education in his youth, and in 1878 began to study medicine in the office of Dr. J. M. Pintle, a well-known physician of Little Rock. Since that time he has practiced with good success, and his name has become a household word in many homes through- out Pulaski County. He was married in 1878 to Lulu, a daughter of John and Mary S. Custer, of Little Rock, Ark., the former a prominent contractor and builder of that city. After a very short married life Mrs. Blunt died, in June, 1879. In 1880 the Doctor met and won Miss Annie Henry, the daugh- ter of George W. and Mary J. (Davis) Henry, of Tennessee, and by this union has had one son and one daughter. After their marriage the Doctor and his wife resided in Little Rock and vicinity until 1889, when he moved to Maumelle Town- ship, where he owns 700 acres of land, in different tracts, and has about 200 acres under cultivation, all of which he has made by his own enterprise, tact and good judgment. As an illustration of his pluck and determination in overcoming all adverse circumstances, and rising superior to those calam- ities that would utterly prostrate an ordinary man, it would be well to add that, on his marriage, the Doctor was presented with $500, by his father, as a wedding gift. This was all he ever inherited or received outside of what he made himself, but in 1882 he had increased it to such an extent that the loss of his finest farm represented $5,000, which was washed away by the flood in that year. In 1888 his cotton-gin, one of the finest in that sec- tion, was devoured by fire: but, despite the mis- fortune that seemed to follow him, he has gone to work again with a perseverance that is worthy of the highest admiration. and has once more accu-

mulated a comfortable fortune. Doctor Blunt also deals considerably in real estate, and his shrewd- ness in that line has enabled him to be very suc- cessful. He is a Democrat in politics, and, with his wife, attends the Methodist Church.

Frank Botsford, chief of police, Little Rock, Ark., was born in Onondaga County, N. Y., on September, 26, IS33, and is a son of Amazeah Bradford and Emily Thrall Botsford, of New York. The father died in 1879 at Waukegan, III., while the mother is still living at the age of eighty three years, and resides at Little Rock. Their son Frank, the principal of this sketch, was reared at Port Huron, Mich .. and received a good English education in that city, as also at Little Fort, now Waukegan, Ill. In his youth he was brought up and instructed in the duties of farm life and also assisted his father in handling lumber. During the great gold excitement on the Pacific Coast he went to California and mined for several years, and also engaged in railroading. In December, 1869, Mr. Botsford came to Little Rock, and for two years, 1872-73, he was warden of the Arkansas penitentiary. The following year he was appoint- ed chief of police, but only held that office for one year, when he entered the sheriff's office and re- mained there for several years. In the year 1882 he was again elected chief of police by the city council, and has served continuously ever since, a period of almost seven years. The force at present consists of the following men: one chief, two ser- geants, sixteen patrolmen, two sanitary officers, one day prison keeper and one man in the same capac- ity for the night. Under the able management of Chief Botsford, the police force has undergone a complete change for the better. His men have become better disciplined, more efficient and do the work of a city double its size. Mayor Whipple, recognizing Mr. Botsford's ability, reappointed him in the spring of ISS9, and his good judg- ment in making this selection is now evident to both mayor and citizens. Mr. Botsford was mar- ried in 185S to Miss Harriett Freland, but lost his wife by death in 1866.

Rev. S. H. Buchanan, D. D., is one of the well-known citizens of Little Rock, and since

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

1870 has been pastor of the Cumberland Presby- terian Church at that point. This church he or- ganized. and by faithful labor for the Master, and by consistent and earnest endeavor, he has now a large congregation in the city and his church is firmly established. His early education was ac- quired in the common schools and in Cane Hill College, of Washington County, Ark., in which establishment he took the degree of A. B., grad- uating at the age of twenty-one; and in 1861, when twenty three years of age, he finished his theological course in the University of Lebanon, Tenn. When the alarms of war were sounded he did not at first espouse either cause, but until 1862 was pastor of a church at Monticello, Ark. He then became chaplain of a regiment in the Confederate army, and until the cessation of hos- tilities remained faithful at his post, In the year 1866 he was not engaged in ministerial labors, but the following year he went to Bentonville and succeeded in organizing the Cumberland Presby- terian Church at that point, remaining as its pas- tor until the year 1870, since which time he has been a resident of Little Rock. His birth oc- curred in Washington County, Ark., March 5, 1838, and his marriage to Miss Annis Feemster, of Fayetteville, Ark., was solemnized in Hemp- stead County, Ark .. April 15, 1862, their union resulting in the birth of three children: W. F., Ruth and S. H. Dr. Buchanan is a profound scholar and is especially gifted in the languages and in mathematics, his contributions to various mathematical and scientific journals being very in- teresting, and are universally quoted as the high- est authority. He inherits Irish blood from his father and Scotch blood from his mother, and in the Doctor is embodied the quick wit and light hearted- ness of the former race, and the shrewdness and good judgment of the latter. His family have been Presbyterians for many generations back. His father, who was also a Presbyterian minister, espoused the cause of Christianity in his early youth. The latter was a native Kentuckian and in his early youth removed to Arkansas, which State continued to be his home until his death at the age of seventy six years. The mother is a

Virginian and although she has attained the age of eighty-one years, is yet hale and active. Dur- ing the present year (1889) Dr. Buchanan planned to attend a reunion of his old army brigade at Hope, Ark., and to preach to his old comrades from the same text that he last did at the close of the war, the third verse of the 125th psalm, but was prevented by sickness in his family.

H. Buddenberg, president of the Buddenberg Furniture Company, one of the prominent com- mercial interests of Little Rock, was born in Han- over. Germany, in 1845. During his boyhood he was apprenticed to a cabinet-maker, a trade which he thoroughly learned in its various branches in three years. To this he gave his attention for two years before coming to America, and after arriving in this country located in St. Louis, where he started in business for himself at the corner of Six- teenth and Chambers Streets. At first he em- ployed four men in his factory. and the furniture was made almost entirely by hand; but one year later his business had increased considerably, so that he purchased horses and worked by horse- power. After two years he bought a boiler, en- gine and machinery, and established a regular manufactory, employing about forty men. His business rapidly advanced under his judicious management, and in 1880 he employed 130 men. having the largest and most complete furniture factory in St. Louis, occupying a large four-story brick building and brick warehouse, the erection of which cost him $14,000. During the same year he sold out his immense business and removed to Little Rock, where he went into the Little Rock Furniture Company as third partner. He after- ward disposed of his interest in that firm and es tablished his present business, which is one of the most successful in the furniture line in Little Rock. Mr. Buddenberg was married on June 11, 1868, in St. Louis, to Miss Caroline Meyrose, a native of Germany. by whom he has had eight children, five of them yet living: Annie, Minnie, Louisa, Henry and Joe. Mr. and Mrs. Buddenberg both attend service at the Lutheran Church.

Augustus L. Breysacher, M. D., Little Rock, Ark. Dr. Breysacher is well known and univer-

sally respected throughout the State, not only as a successful and skillful physician and surgeon, but as a genial, whole-souled gentleman. He was born February 2, 1831, and is the son of George and Elizabeth (Keller) Breysacher. His father was born in Strasburg, Germany, graduated at Heidel- burg University of that country, and later emigrated to America, locating in Ohio, where he practiced medicine for a number of years. Some time in the 30's he moved to Missouri, located in St. Louis County, near the city of St. Louis, and there prac- ticed medicine until he was very old. He spent the latter part of his days among his friends in Ohio. Dr. Augustus L. Breysacher passed his boyhood in St. Louis County, Mo., and supple- mented his common-school education with a liter- ary and classical course in St. Xavier's College, Cincinnati, Ohio. He passed a rigid examination in the Missouri Medical College. St. Louis, and graduated from that institution in 1859. Receiv- ing an immediate appointment as acting assistant surgeon in the United States army, he was sent out to "the Far West" border, Camp Alert, Kas., and his first year's practice was among the soldiers on the frontier. At the end of one year he re- turned to St. Louis, Mo., and practiced medicine nine months. At this time the agitation of Civil War claimed the attention of all thinking men, and Dr. Breysacher cast his fate with the Confed- eracy. During his service of nearly four years, he was not an hour absent from duty, which was always on the field, as surgeon successively of bat- tery, staff, brigade and corps, with Hardee. These services, rendered so faithfully, gave him a breadth and professional experience seldom afforded to any man. The surrender found him still at his post at Greenville, N. C. Soon after the war he located at Pine Bluff, Ark., and there for six years he was actively engaged in the practice of medicine. Removing then to Little Rock, he located permanently, identifying himself with the medical profession, of which he is an honored member. Recognizing the deficiency in the knowl- edge of medical science among the practitioners 1 in many parts of the State, and the fact that no satisfactory advancement could be expected for

years to come, unless the facilities for attaining such knowledge were placed close at hand, the Doctor became a strong advocate for having located in Little Rock a medical school. In this he was sustained by other leading physicians, and the result of the agitation was that he and seven others formed a joint-stock company, purchased a build- ing, and opened the Medical Department of Arkan- sas Industrial University. This institution has grown beyond the hopes of its most sanguine advocates, until graduates from it practice not only in the city of Little Rock and over the State, but in neighboring States as well, and the fame of the institution is established. Dr. Breysacher has been professor of obstetrics ever since it was founded. He was married in 1867 to Miss Carrie D. Pynchon, of Huntsville, Ala., daughter of Edward E. Pynchon, a native of Massachusetts, and descendent of John Pynchon, "the worshipful major," who founded the city of Springfield, A. D. 1635-40. Dr. Breysacher has three children: Har- riett P., A. L., Jr., and Mabel. The Doctor is a member of the Arkansas State Medical Society, of which he has been treasurer since its organization, of the American Medical Association, and of the Pulaski County Medical Society. He was a dele- gate to the International Medical Congress at Phil- adelphia in 1876, and is a member of the Episco- pal Church.

George Russell Brown, president and principal owner of the Press Printing Company, State print- ers of Little Rock, owes his nativity to Rochester, N. Y., where his birth occurred October 10, 1852. He was the eldest in a family of four children, born to the union of Leverett Russell and Cath- erine (Ostrander) Brown, both natives of the State of New York. In 1852 the father embarked in the patent-roofing business, and the same year moved to Hamilton, Canada, where he continued the same business. In 1857 he moved to Gales- burg, Ill., followed his former occupation, and in 1860 became connected with the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy Railroad, and later with the Chicago & Northwestern, running the first trains from Harvard Junction, Ill., to Madison, Wis. He then went east and followed railroad contracting for

426

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

several years on the New York & Oswego Mid- land. He came to Arkansas in 1871, to take posi- tion as conductor on the Cairo & Fulton Railroad, now St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern, and ran the first passenger train from Little Rock to Little Red River, a point across the river from where the town of Judsonia is now situated. Mr. Brown is now connected with the United States mail serv- ice in Arkansas, and makes his home in Little Rock. His son, George Russell Brown (the sub- ject of this sketch), attended the free schools of Galesburg, from 1858 to 1865, and then in Madi- son, Wis., from 1865 to 1868, after which he was a carrier on the Wisconsin State Journal, when that paper was owned by Atwood & Rublee. He returned with his parents to New York State in 1868, and subsequently attended school at Deposit, Broome County, for one year. At that time he was apprenticed to Watson & Stow, publishers of the Deposit Courier, and worked the first year for $1.25 a week. The second year he received $5 a week and the third year $8, when his trade was completed. He went to Binghamton, the county seat, and there worked on the Times, under D. E. Cronin, now an author and artist of New York City. Mr. Brown arrived at Little Rock, in September, 1872, and obtained a position as compositor on the Gazette, when it was owned by Woodruff & Blocher. In 1873, he was appointed reporter of the same paper by J. N. Smithee, then editor, and who was afterward State land commissioner. The follow- ing year he was promoted to city editor, and in 1875 was reporter on the Star, an evening paper, the apparatus of which was afterward purchased by Mr. Smithee, who established the present Arkansas Democrat. He was with this paper under the ownership of Smithee, Blocher & Mitchell, and Mitchell & Bettis, but resigned the position of city editor in 1883, having bought stock in the Arkan- sas Gazette. Mr. Brown was then appointed city editor of that paper, was soon promoted to the office of secretary, treasurer and business manager, and one year later was elected president of the company, which position he held until June 14, 1889, when he disposed of his stockholdings to Horace G. Allis, and purchased a controlling inter-

est in the Press Printing Company, incorporated September, 1887, with $25,000 capital. They do an extensive business, aggregating from $80,000 to $100,000 a year. They also print and publish the Arkansas Press, a weekly paper owned by Mr. Brown and Charles H. Lewis. This paper is de- voted to real estate, building, banking, railroad, river, manufacturing, timber, mineral and agricult- ural news, having classified reports from the various counties in the State. Mr. Brown was married in Memphis, Tenn., to Miss Mary E. Bate- man, daughter of the late Dr. Bateman, November 25, 1878. To this union have been born two chil- dren: Katie Russ (born November 16, 1880, at Memphis) and Eleanor Courtney (born at Little Rock, December 19, 1882). Mr. Brown is a mem- ber of Damon Lodge No. 3, K. of P., of Little Rock, and also a member of Little Rock Lodge of Elks.

John F. Calef, proprietor of the Capital Hotel, the largest and most popular hotel of Little Rock, is a native of Alabama and the son of Josiah Bartlett Calef, who was a prominent merchant in Mobile for over thirty years. He is also a direct descendant of Josiah Bartlett, one of the memorial signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was born and lived in Mobile, Ala., and up to 1883 was engaged in the cotton business in Mo- bile and Little Rock, coming to this city in 1881, where he still gives his attention to cotton interests. In the spring of 1884, Mr. Calef, in company with John W. Deshon, purchased the Capital Hotel, and continued in partnership until 1888, when he bought his partner's interest, and has since con- ducted the business alone. Mr. Calef was married in 1885 to Miss Emily Churchill, daughter of ex- Gov. Churchill, one of the well-known citizens of Arkansas, and a man who has been called upon to serve his native State in various prominent official capacities. The Capital is probably the best-known hotel south of St. Louis, being very large, well- arranged, and fitted with all modern improvements. Indeed, it is to Little Rock what the Palmer House is to Chicago, and the Southern Hotel to St. Louis. The popularity of this "home-comfort hostelry " is largely due to the personal supervision of the

proprietor, who understands exactly the wants of his guests.

Jonathan Wilson Callaway. In reviewing the lives of prominent citizens of Little Rock, the name of J. W. Callaway is justly given an envia- ble position, for it is difficult to find one of the present day more entitled to honorable mention, or who possesses to such an extent the universal es- teem of his acquaintances. Born in Arkadelphia, Clark County, Ark., January 27, 1834, he is the son of Jonathan O. Callaway, who came to Arkan- sas with his father, John Callaway, in 1817. John Hemphill, the maternal grandfather of J. W. Callaway, came to Arkansas from South Carolina in December, 1811, and in 1814 erected large salt mills one mile east of the present site of Arkadel- phia. For this purpose he purchased about sixty sugar kettles in New Orleans, which were used in the manufacture of salt. The labor employed was principally that of the negroes brought by Mr. Hemphill from South Carolina. These salt works were operated mostly by the family until 1851, and supplied a large territory. They were rebuilt in 1861, and were operated by the Confederate States Government during the late war, and several addi- tional furnaces were erected at the same place during that time by private enterprise. Grand- father Callaway came to the Territory of Arkan- sas from Fredericktown, Mo., and settled near what is now Arkadelphia. The family were pio- neers in Kentucky with Daniel Boone, and with him went to Missouri. Flanders Callaway, a brother of the paternal grandfather, married the daughter of Daniel Boone, and Callaway County, Mo., was named for Capt. James Callaway, a son of Flanders Callaway. For many years Jonathan O. Callaway was engaged in the salt works of his father-in-law, John Hemphill, but at the time of his death, in 1854, was an extensive cotton planter. At the age of sixteen years Jonathan Wilson Cal- laway was employed as copyist in the county clerk's office, and subsequently held the position of bookkeeper in a large establishment. In 1858 be began merchandising in Arkadelphia, which was abruptly discontinued at the breaking ont of the

gle. He was appointed first lieutenant in Capt. Flanagin's Company (E), McIntosh's regiment, later being made commissary of subsistence in the regimental brigade and division. He was afterward assigned to duty as assistant to the chief of bureau of subsistence for the Trans-Mississippi Depart- ment, with headquarters at Shreveport, La., and Marshall, Tex. His final surrender was made with the Confederate forces, at Shreveport, at the close of the war, in May, 1865, following which he walked the whole distance back to Arkadelphia. In October, 1865. Mr. Callaway embarked in the com- mission business at Camden, Ark., which he con- tinued until 1872. a part of the time residing at New Orleans in connection with his business inter- ests. In 1874 he was elected clerk of the State senate, and in 1876 received the nomination of the Democratic State convention for clerk of the chan- cery court, to which position he was elected. Re- moving to Little Rock he held the office for five terms, or ten years, then voluntarily retiring, much to the regret of those whose interests he had so well and faithfully served. The year 1867 wit- nessed his marriage with Miss Annie Vickers, and to their union three children have been born: Liz- zie, Mary and Estelle. Mr. Callaway occasionally acts as commissioner or receiver of the Pulaski Chancery Court, and is lending his valnable assist- ance in populating Arkansas with immigrants and developing the immense resources of the county and State. He enjoys a wide acquaintance and the respect and esteem of a host of friends.
