breaking out of the late war was a well-to-do farm- er, but, like many others, suffered serious losses. He was married, in 1850, to Miss Mary A. Edmon- son, of Virginia, and the daughter of Sidney and Lucy C. Edmonson. Mrs. Landrum was born in 1833, and was an attractive and interesting woman. To the union of Mr. Landrum and wife a family of seven children were born, only three of whom are now living: W. J., B. F. and Lucy C. (the wife of John C. Skelton. ) John F. Lan- drum immigrated to Arkansas from Mississippi, in 1855, and located in Des Arc, Prairie County, where he purchased land in the woods and built a log-house, soon having the place in cultivation. He served in the late war, first going out in the cavalry, in 1861, but after a short time he was ap- pointed manager on the Confederate side of the Atlantic Hospital, where he remained until 1863. He was then taken ill and died soon after. His wife married again in 1865, her second choice being Mr. Samuel Wagoner, a native of Kansas, and by whom she had one daughter, now deceased. Mrs. Wagoner died in Little Rock, in 1867, in the full faith of the Methodist Episcopal Church. W. J. Landrum began life for himself in 1872, engaging as fireman in the employ of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway, which position he held for two years. He then worked at the boiler and machinist business at Little Rock until I885, at the expiration of that time accepting the posi- tion of traveling salesman for Baird & Bright, in which he has since successfully remained. In 1875 his marriage with Miss Emma C. Davis, of Little Rock, was consummated. Mrs. Landrum was born in Murray County, Ga., in 1859, being the daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Davis, natives of Indiana, who moved from that State to Georgia, in 1863, and located in Murray County. The father died in 1872, and after his death Mrs. Davis emigrated to Arkansas and settled in Pulaski County, where her death occurred in 1873. She was a devout member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. To the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Landrum five chil- dren have been born, only two now living: Ora C. and Oscar S.

W. J. Landrum, traveling salesman for Thomas W. Baird, successor to Baird & Bright, dealers in machinery, Little Rock, Ark., is a native of Mis- sissippi, and was born in Holly Springs, Marshall County, in 1852. His father, John F. Landrum, was born in Tennessee in 1832, and up to the | good land in Izard County, Ark., and also eighty

acres in Pulaski County. He is a member of the A. F. & A. M., and a stanch Democrat. Mrs. Landrum is an earnest worker of the Methodist Episcopal Church and, with her husband, enjoys the esteeni and universal respect of the community. Mr. Landrum is one of the oldest commercial travelers on the road in point of experience, and is a courteous, affable gentleman, enjoying an ex- tended acquaintance.

Isaac Lawrence made his first visit to Arkansas in the winter of 1847-48, as a commercial trav- eler for a mercantile house in the East. He re- mained two and a half months, during which time he traveled 1,600 miles in the State and Indian Territory, more than half the distance on horse- back and without weapons. His birthplace was in Connecticut, and his natal year, 1814. Trained to mercantile pursuits, he began business at the age of twenty in his native county, going thence to New York in the same business, and when so engaged made his acquaintance with Arkansas, as above stated. In 1858 he came to the State to reside, first in Washington, Hempstead County, in 1865 removing to Little Rock, where (and in Washing- ton until business was broken up by the war) he continued trade nntil 1873. Soon afterward he em- barked in the real-estate business, which he still pursues, handling a large amount of property in the city and country for resident and non-resident owners, besides personal transactions, building np in the meantime a substantial record for honesty and business ability. He made a profession of re- ligion in his native State at the age of twenty-five, and has been an active member of the Old School Presbyterian Church since his removal from there. He married Miss Lucinda Kallem, of Searcy, Ark., her birth having occurred in Monroe County in 1841. Her parents were from Ohio. Mr. Law- rence's father, Josiah Lawrence, married Phoebe (Lawrence) Faxon, widow of William Faxon and daughter of Nathaniel Lawrence, son of Daniel Lawrence, Jr. The paternal grandfather of our subject was Jonas Lawrence, his father being Capt. Isaac Lawrence. The latter was born in Groton, Mass., about 1704, and was one of the early pioneers of Western Connecticut, where he

and most of his family spent their days. The old homestead is still in possession of descendants, and among the family relics preserved is a loom made from the oak tree where he (Capt. Isaac) and his family camped the first night when they came to the place where they settled (northwest part of Litchfield County) in 1738. The family have a somewhat extensive genealogy of the different branches, two different books of it having been written some years ago.

Robert W. Lemastee, the popular postmaster at Halstead, and also a prominent merchant and farmer of that place, was born in Spartanburg, S. C., in 1829, and is a son of Wesley and Orpha Lemastee, of the same county and State, born in 1806 and 1812, respectively. The father resided in Spartanburg County all his life, and is buried there, while the mother passed the remainder of her days in Georgia, where she died in 1856. Her husband was a prominent farmer and a son of Richard Lemastee, of Virginia, who died in South Carolina over one hundred years old. His father was George Lemastee, who emigrated from Eng- land to America, and served in the Revolution two years, after which he settled in Virginia and then in South Carolina, where he became a wealthy farmer and an influential citizen of his adopted country. Robert was the second child in a family of six sons and one daughter, and like many of the self-made men of the present day, he received a limited education in his youth. One reason for this was on account of the scarcity of schools, and then the father died when Robert was only eleven years old, thus throwing the main support of the family upon him. In 1853 he moved to the State of Georgia, and was there married to Lucinda, a daughter of Coleman and Nancy Hames, of South Carolina. Mrs. Lemastee's parents left their na- tive State and settled in Georgia, where the mother died, and the father, who is a prominent farmer, still resides. Mr. Lemastee remained in Georgia until 1866, spending four years of that time in Philipps' Legion of Georgia troops in the army of Virginia, and fighting under Gen. Longstreet at Chattanooga, Bull Run, Sharpsburg, Fredericks- burg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Antietam,

Mission Ridge and a great number of other en- gagements, also serving part of the time as a mem- ber of the pioneer corps. In April, 1865, he sur- rendered with Gen. Lee at Appomattox and re- turned to his family in Georgia, where he remained until 1866, and then moved to Yell County, Ark., where he settled for four years. In 1870 he moved to Pulaski County, and proceeded to clear up a tract of land in the woods. He now owns 160 acres, and has seventy acres under cultivation. Be- sides his farming interests he has established a general merchandise store, and carries a fine stock of goods, and since 1886 has been the postmaster of Halstead. his present prosperity coming to him 1 through his own enterprise and industry. In poli- 1 tics Mr. Lemastee is a Democrat, and in secret or- ders he is a member of the A. F. & A. M .. Alex- ander Lodge No. 353. Himself and wife. who is a devout Christian lady, have attended the Metho- dist Church for over forty years.

James H. Lenow, M. D., occupies a chair in the Medical Department of the Arkansas Indus- trial University, his branch being the diseases of genito-urinary organs and syphilis. The only son in the family of James and Indiana (Leake) Lenow, he was born in Memphis, Tenn .. on February 18, 1850. James Lenow died at Louisville, Ky., June 9, 1850, while en route to Virginia to pay a last visit to his aged mother. 'His estimable wife survived him until July 17, 1865. They were the parents of one daughter, Josephine, whose birth occurred in Fayette County, Tenn., in 1844. She was twice married, first to Mr. Frank T. Cochran. who died in 1872, and the second time to Dr. John A. Watkins, of Tennessee. She died April 25, 1886, leaving two sons, one by each husband. Dr. James H. Lenow was educated in the Ken- tucky Military Institute, graduated from that in- stitution in June, 1870, and received the degree of A. B., and in 1876 the degree of A. M. Having determined upon the practice of medicine, he im- mediately began its study in New York, and after a thorough course was graduated with high honors in the class of 1872, from the Jefferson Medical College, at Philadelphia. In 1872 he located in Little Rock, and since that time has been actively

occupied in the profession of his chosen occupa- tion, administering carefully and with personal in- terest to the wants of suffering humanity. For seven years he was the physician in charge of the State penitentiary, and also held the position of city and jail physician for a number of terms. only resigning the position of city physician to ac- cept a chair for two terms in the city council. In 1877 Dr. Lenow was health officer of the city, and is now medical examiner for both the Mutual Equitable and Manhattan Life Insurance Com- panies, of New York. In November, 1883, he was married to Mrs. Ella D. Fones. Two children have been born of this union: Jamie and Horace. The Doctor is liberal, and contributes largely to anything that tends to the advancement of Little Rock.

R. W. Lindsey, M. D. In Union County, Ark., April 11, 1846, R. W. Lindsey first saw the light of day. He is the son of Caleb Lindsey, originally from Christian County, Ky., who was born in 1807, and came to Arkansas in 1818, set. tling in Lawrence County. After a few years' res- idence here he moved to Little Rock, and then to Saline County, with his father, Caleb Lindsey, Sr., the latter dying in 1826, in Saline County. His son. Caleb, was married in 1837. to Rebecca Brillhart, of Lawrence County, Ark., and they be- came the parents of seven children, only three of whom attained their majority. At the present two are living: R. W. and H. B. Some years after the father's death (which occurred in 1856) Mrs. Lindsey married Mr. Cornelius Cralock, and is now residing in Ashley County. Dr. R. W. Lindsey received an excellent education in youth, and lived on a farm in Ashley County until January, 1863, when he enlisted in Company A, Fifth Louisiana Cavalry, for a war experience. After serving until the close of the war. or rather until the news of Lee's surrender arrived at Alexandria, La., the command was disbanded, and he returned home. He was in several skirmishes, but none of particu- lar importance. In 1868 Dr. Lindsey began to wade through the dry and ponderous volumes of medical lore, but subsequently came off victorious. He studied with Dr. William Thompson, in Little

Rock, and remained with him for two years, follow - ing which an attendance upon the lectures at the University of Nashville (where he graduated in February, 1872) ably qualified him for a profes- sional career. He first hung out his modest little sign in Plum Bayou, a village in Jefferson County, Ark., and though it would scarcely attract the passer-by, his reputation as a competent physician soon became recognized, for he enjoyed a lucrative practice for nine years. In 1881 Dr. Lindsey came to Little Rock, and has built up an enviable practice, where he has remained ever since. He is a good citizen, generous and enterprising, and contributes liberally to all public movements. He was married in Little Rock, December 31, 1874, to Miss Fannie Hensley, a native of Cabell County, West Va. Their offspring consists of two boys: Caleb Wright (born August 18, 1876) and William Edwin (born October 11, 1878, at Plum Bayou, Ark.). They are aged respectively thirteen and eleven, and both healthy, well-developed children.

Capt. Felix G. Lusk, one of the leading mem- bers of the Arkansas bar, and a practical farmer, was born in Sevier County, Tenn., in 1829, and is a son of Maurice R. Lnsk and Jane Matthews. M. R. Lusk was born in Buncombe County, N. C., in 1801, and his wife in Sevier County, Tenn., in 1807. They were married in the latter county, and in 1826 removed to Newmarket, Ala., where the mother died in 1840. In 1842 Mr. Lusk was again married, and in the same year moved to Lewis- burg, Ark., and in 1846 they again changed their location to a point near Malvern, Ark., where both died in 1856. The father was a shoemaker by trade, and was very much interested in military matters, being captain of militia in Alabama. He was a son of Joseph Lusk, of Irish descent, who fought in the Revolution with Gen. Marion; and Joseph Lusk's father was John Lusk, one of seven brothers who came from Ireland to America at a very early period of this country's history, and who separated at Jamestown, Va., each going to a different State. Jeremiah Matthews, the mater- nal grandfather of Capt. Felix G. Lusk, was of Irish descent and born in Virginia. He was a courier during the Revolution under Gen. Marion,

and afterward settled in Tennessee, where he re- sided a great many years, and was one of the pioneers of Sevier County. Capt. Lusk was the third child of six born to his parents, and received a good common-school education. He commenced farming for himself when sixteen years old, re- maining at it one year, when he was apprenticed to the tannery business for three years. After that he followed the trade of carpentering until the war, when he enlisted in Company K, First Arkansas Infantry, having come to Arkansas in his boyhood, and was appointed orderly-sergeant, in which capacity he served until 1862, when he was promoted to a captaincy, thus serving for three years: he was seignior-captain, hence the oft men- tioned colonel. He took part in the first battle of Manassas, the engagements of Shiloh, Farmington (Miss.), Perryville (Ky.), Murfreesboro, Chicka- mauga, Missionary Ridge and all the Georgia cam- paigns in which Joe Johnston and Hood commanded up to the fall of Atlanta. Immediately before the latter, he was sent into the State of Arkansas on detach duty to hunt up deserters, which was then a dangerous mission to perform. He continued in that capacity until April 2, 1865, when he was captured at South Bend, just after crossing the Arkansas River, and imprisoned at Little Rock until after the general surrender. He was captured three times during the war, but made his escape by a daring break for liberty, never remaining a prisoner longer than ten months, except the last time, and was wounded in two engagements, slightly. After the war he settled in Little Rock, and commenced his trade as carpenter, also dealing in real estate. In 1884 he moved to Mabelvale, and continued practicing up to 1888, when he changed his location to his present farm, one and one-half miles southwest of Mabelvale, where he has eighty acres in one tract and forty six acres in another, besides owning land in Saline and Lonoke, all of which the Captain has accumulated by his own shrewdness, good business ability and energy. In politics he is a Democrat, and has always voted that ticket, having been appointed deputy clerk of Hot Spring County, and for a period served as constable and deputy sheriff of Columbia County.

He was afterward deputy clerk in Little Rock, and justice of the peace in Prairie County for about one year. In 1866 he was married to Mrs. Martha L. Lee, a charming widow, and a daughter of John and Lucinda Quindley, of Tennessee and Georgia, respectively. This wife died July 16, 1878, and in January, 1879, he was married to Mrs. Mollie A. Kimbrough, a pleasant and agreeable widow lady, and a daughter of Nathan and Catherine Morgan.

H. D. McCowan, superintendent of the Eagle Ginning & Cotton Pickery, Little Rock, was born in that city on February 15, 1858, and is a son of Gabriel McCowan, a native of Edinburgh, Scot- land. The father was a prominent Mason who had attained the thirty-third degree, and was an associate of Gen. Albert Pike, Albert Mackey and Judge E. H. English. He came to America in 1849, and located at Little Rock where he estab. lished himself in business and resided until the year 1871, when his death occurred. He was en- gaged in the wholesale dry-goods business, and also operated the first tannery ever erected in Ar- kansas, in partnership with Mr. Alex George, now deceased also. He was also a director and stock- holder in various other enterprises in Little Rock and was one of its most widely known and influen- tial business men. The elder McCowan was mar- ried to Miss Elizabeth Mandel, a native of Han- over, Germany, their nuptials taking place at the city of Port Gibson, Miss. Five children were born to this union of whom four are yet living, as is also the mother who resides with her son, the principal of this sketch. H. D. McCowan was reared during the greater part of his earlier life in New York City, and received his education at Eastman's business college in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. While living in New York City he was em- ployed by one of the leading varnish firms, and that, coupled with his commercial training received at Poughkeepsie, made him thoroughly efficient to enter into business on his own account. After leaving college he came to Little Rock, and for the first four years of his arrival was cashier of the Arkansas Gazette. He afterward went into the machinery business with Messrs. R. L. Cobb &

Co., and remained with that firm until they went out of existence, and for the past five years has been employed by the present firm, whose business has been greatly enlarged and prospered under his able and efficient management. The entire establishment is in Mr. McCowan's charge, and his entire time is devoted to the large volume of busi- ness that they command. In secret societies he is a member of Lonoke Lodge No. 8, Knights of Pythias, and also belongs to the order of American Firemen and is vice-president of the Council. Mr. McCowan belongs to and is secretary of the Pat Cleburne Fire Company No. 1, and has been con- nected with the Little Rock department for nine- teen years. He was married on December 7, 1881, to Miss Ida Lewis, a niece of S. Navra, a promi- nent merchant of Little Rock. Three children have been born to this marriage, of whom two are yet living: Clifford and a baby boy.

Dr. M. J. McHenry, a prominent physician and surgeon and dealer in drugs, chemicals and sundries at Jacksonville, is a native of Shelby Coun- ty, Ala., and was born in 1843. His parents were M. H. and M. M. (Moore) McHenry, the former born in Virginia in 1804 and dying at the home of his son in Pulaski County in 1888. The father moved with his parents to Alabama while in his boyhood, and there attained his maturity and was married. In 1847 he moved with his wife to Union County. Ark., where he resided until 1874, and then came to Pulaski County. He became a very prosperous planter, and was a noted politician in both Alabama and Arkansas, having served in the Alabama legislature for one term, and several times elected sheriff of Shelby County, in that State. He was a Democrat and an influential man with his party as well as an enterprising citi- zen. His wife was born in Georgia in 1816, and died one year before her husband at the home of her son in Pulaski County. They were the par- ents of nine children, of whom seven grew to maturity and five are yet living, one residing in Texas and the remainder in Arkansas. Two of the sons gave up their lives for the Confederate cause during the last war. Dr. McHenry was the second child of this family, and was reared principally in

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

Arkansas and educated in the public schools of that State. His chosen profession was medicine, and he took one course at the New Orleans Medi- cal College. afterward graduating from the Uni- versity of Maryland at Baltimore in 1870. He first commenced practicing in Columbia County and then moved to Jacksonville, Ark .. in 1871, which place he has made his home and practiced ever since. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the Confederate army and served almost four years, becoming, when Capt. Wal- lace's company was organized in Union County, a member, and being actively engaged for the remainder of the war; entering as a private, he was promoted to first lieutenant and finally took command of the company, his promotion being won solely on his merit as a gallant soldier. In 1872 he was married to a Miss Scott, of Louisiana, a daughter of, Col. Thomas Scott, and by this union had one son, Garland H., who resides with his father. The Doctor lost his first wife in 1874, and four years later he was married to Miss Estelle Teague, of Alabama, by whom he has had four children. Dr. McHenry has been in the drug business ever since his arrival in Jacksonville, and carries a very select stock of goods. He is one of the leading physicians of Pulaski County, and is recognized as standing at the head of his profession, his large practice and wide popularity fully attesting to that fact. He owns 109 acres of valuable farming land, and has an interest in some 280 acres of mineral land containing lead and silver, which, from present prospects, will yield him a fortune in the near future. He is a Demo- crat in politics and a strong supporter of that party, and has served one term in the legislature to the entire satisfaction of his constituents. The Doctor is a courteous and pleasant gentleman in every way, and his many good qualities have won him a host of friends. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, as was also his first as well as his second wife.

Angelo Marre (deceased) was a native of "Sunny Italy " and was born in Genoa, in 1842. When about twelve years old he came to America with · his parents, and when the war broke out entered

the army in the defense of the rights of Tennessee, the State of his adoption. He served throughout the entire war with the courage and ardor of America's own sons, and after that was employed on the detective force in Memphis. In 1872 he left Memphis and came to Little Rock, where he engaged in the liquor trade. In this business he was very successful, amassing a large fortune, but after a time he retired from the active conduct of business interests and turned his attention to city and county politics. He served several terms as alderman from the second ward, and a realization that he was in any position or office was assurance of the careful and successful discharge of the duties intrusted to his care. For one term he was a member of the board of public affairs, and at one time was selected by the Republican party as their candidate for sheriff. At the time of his death, which occurred in February, 1889, he owned a large interest in, and was president of, the Edison Electric Light Company of Little Rock. At the Catholic Church of Little Rock, in 1877, Mr. Marre was united in marriage to Miss Jennie Bacigalupo, a daughter of Vincent and Mary Baci- galupo. They were the proprietors of the Crystal Palace, of Memphis, Tenn., and were victims of the yellow fever plague of 1878, dying within a few days of each other. The obituaries written at the time of their death spoke of them in unquali- fied praise. Mrs. Marre survives her husband, and is a charming lady, and a great favorite in her large circle of friends. Little Rock owes much to Mr. Marre for, ever alert for any enterprise that was conducive to the building and growth of that city, he spared neither money nor labor to accom- plish the desired results.

Dr. M. C. Marshall, one of the most promi- nent dentists in Little Rock, was born in Maysville, Ky., where his father, Dr. Hammond Marshall, practiced dentistry for a number of years. The elder Marshall was a native of Maine, and was well known throughout New England and the Northern States as the inventor of the galvanized sheet-iron burial casket, which took the place of the old cast-iron and lead caskets then in vogue. He was afterward engaged in the manufacture of

these at Cincinnati, Ohio, but on the outbreak of the Civil War moved his entire plant to Nashville, Tenn. The blockade at this point prevented his obtaining any galvanized sheet iron, and being in sympathy with the Confederacy, he converted his establishment into a factory for manufacturing shot, shell and sabers for that Government. At the fall of Fort Donelson, he left Nashville within a half-bour's notice, and went to Atlanta, Ga., and soon after removed part of his machinery to that place to re- establish his factory, remaining in Atlanta until the day of his death, in September, 1874. Dr. Hammond Marshall was at one time a resident of Fayetteville, Ark., from 1854 to 1860. and while there took out a patent on his celebrated burial cases. He was married to Miss Mary Mad- dox, a native of England, who came to America when in her second year. Dr. M. C. Marshall was only four years old when he came to Fayette- ville with his parents, and before he was fourteen years old he was a member of Gov. Joe Brown's militia, and served six months in that body. After the war he felt the need of a more thorough education than he had, and attended night school, paying his own way through. He then entered a large general-supply establishment and remained with the firm until his twenty-second year, when he removed to Oxford, Miss., and commenced studying dentistry under the instruction of his elder brother, Dr. W. H. Marshall. After a few years' study he began the practice of his profes- sion, and in 1877 was married to Miss Alice Kit- trell, of Black Hawk, Miss. Here he met with a great sorrow, as he lost his young wife ere they had been married a year. Afterward he went to Philadelphia and graduated in the College of Den- tistry, in the class of 1880, following which he returned to Mississippi, where he was again mar- ried, in 1883, to Mrs. Cora Wilkings. Removing thence to Little Rock, Ark., he has since resided here, and has now reached the top round in the ladder of his profession. His success is assured, his practice one of the largest, and his comfortable offices at 501 Main Street, in the Watkins Block, are well arranged for comfort and convenience. The Doctor is secretary of the Southern Dental
