Col. Thomas W. Newton, ex-postmaster of Little Rock, was born in 1843, on a farm now known as the Hobbs Place, about one mile from Little Rock. The first public position held by him was in the year 1858, when he was appointed rodman for the State civil engineer, George W, Hughes. In 1859-60 he served as delivery clerk at the Little Rock postoffice under Postmaster T. J. Churchill, and in the latter year, though only seventeen years of age, he was appointed captain of Company B, Thirteenth Arkansas Militia. About one year later he entered the Confederate army as second lieutenant of a company known at that time as the " Bob Toombs' Rifles" in Hind- man's Legion, and at Pittman's Ferry, near Poca- hontas, Ark., this legion was converted into two regiments known as the Second Arkansas and Third Confederate. Lieutenant Newton's com- pany entered the latter regiment under Col. John S. Marmaduke, and soon afterward was promoted, and served two years as captain of his company. When Gen. Marmaduke was transferred to the Trans-Mississippi department, Capt. Newton was promoted to the rank of major in the adjutant- general's department, and assigned to duty as assistant-adjutant and inspector-general on Gen. Marmaduke's staff, serving as such until the close of the war. Left penniless and with no profession in life, he began service as a steamboat pilot on the upper Arkansas River, between Little Rock and Fort Gibson, and followed this for one year as a licensed second-class pilot. In 1866, when Mr. Thomas H. Walker was elected clerk and recorder

turned his attention to farming. His operations in this direction were very successful, his planta- tion being one of the largest and finest on the Ar- kansas River. It is situated near the mouth of the Little Maumelle, about ten miles above the city, and composed of some of the most productive soil in Central Arkansas. In 1874 Maj. Newton was elected secretary of the Constitutional Convention, which framed the present constitution of the State. and in the same year was also elected secretary of the State senate, and in 1877 he was elected chief clerk of the house of representatives, and during the same year elected clerk and recorder of Pulaski County to fill the nnexpired term of Mr. Thomas H. Walker, caused by that gentleman's death. Maj. Newton was re-elected to this office in 1878. and again in 1SSO, and at the close of this term was asked to run for the office of circuit clerk, but declined to do so. In 1883 he was again elected clerk of the house of representatives, and also in 1885. One year previous to that he was appointed by the Democratic State convention as the presi- dential elector for the Fourth Congressional dis- trict, but the question being raised by the Demo- cratic State central committee as to his elegibility on account of being clerk of the house of repre- sentatives, and therefore a member of that body, he generously withdrew. He was appointed post- master of Little Rock by President Cleveland, and served three years and six months of his term, giving general satisfaction as a model postmaster to all parties. He was succeeded by Mr. R. A. Edgerton, whom he had previously succeeded him- self. Maj. Newton is well and favorably known throughout the State, and has always been re- garded as one of its most honorable and trust- worthy men, an opinion that has been strength- ened by his untarnished political career.

Thomas J. Oliphint, conceded to be a promi- nent member of the legal fraternity of Little Rock, was born near Murfreesboro, Tenn., March 22, 1842. In 1844 his parents moved to West

of Pulaski County, he tendered Maj. Newton the . Tennessee, and to White County, Ark., in 1854, position of deputy clerk, which was accepted. In where he was given excellent educational advan- tages, which he improved to the utmost, as is clearly demonstrated by his brilliant career as a 1868 every Democrat was reconstructed out of of- fice, and during the following year Maj. Newton

subsequent practitioner of the law. Entering the Confederate service as a volunteer in 1861. he served until the close of the war, Gen. Pat Cleburne being his first colonel. After the battle of Shiloh he was transferred, and joined the Trans-Mississippi department of the cavalry serv- ice, and was lientenant in one of the most dash- ing companies in the service. He was with Price on his famous raid through Missouri, where he was captured, then becoming imprisoned at Little Rock until the close of the war. Being left destitute, in common with so many of his comrades at that time, he pluckily went to work and learned the photographer's art. In the meantime he read law, and was licensed to practice, which he suc- cessfully followed in White County for two years, when in 1875 he located in Little Rock, where he has since resided. He now carries on a general practice, but makes a specialty of rail- road cases. As to his prominence and standing as a lawyer, it is only necessary to state that on the present circuit court calendar (October, 1889), there are 278 cases, of which he has twenty- eight, besides a fine practice in the chancery, supreme and United States court. The fact is presented in its full significance when it is known that there are about seventy-five resident and practicing lawyers in Little Rock. Mr. Oliphint does not especially pride himself on his practice, for, as monuments to his untiring industry, are Oliphint's "Digest of the Supreme Court Re- ports." He now has ready for the press Oli- phint's "Revised, Rearranged and Annotated Edi- tion of Rose's Digest," for which there is a great demand among the profession. In addition to his other works, he has in preparation a supplementary digest, covering the ten reports subsequent to Oliphint's, and for which he has a large list of subscriptions in advance of its publication. He loves law books above all others, and has the satis- faction of knowing that he possesses one of the finest libraries in the State. One of his peculiar- ities is, that he makes it a rule to expend a cer- tain amount for books each month, and as this amount is never less and often more than $20, it is seen that the collection in a few years must cer-

tainly be a very fine one. Being thoroughly im - bued with the love for his profession, never tiring in his labors, he enjoys the fruits of an extensive and Incrative practice, and the confidence and esteem of the bench and bar of the State. The year 1867 witnessed his marriage to Miss Georgia Maxwell, of Searcy, White County, who was the daughter of the Hon. David Maxwell. David Maxwell was prominent for many years in State politics. For nine years Mr. Oliphint was happy in his wedded life, but Death, the grim de- troyer, robbed him of his beautiful wife just in the zenith of their happiness. A few years later, he met and became acquainted with Miss Eva Kimberling, of Point Pleasant, W. Va. The ac- quaintance ripened into an engagement, and their marriage was celebrated, in July, 1878. In his mar- riage relations Mr. Oliphint is exceedingly happy and fortunate. Olive branches numbering five boys have blessed their union, four of whom are living; and of his boys he is perhaps prouder than all else in this world. The oldest is ten, and the youngest one year old. His aspiration is to live long enough to educate and transmit to them his profession and his library. He is a member of the Eighth Street Methodist Episcopal Church. South, and his habits are such as any young man would do well to, at least, endeavor to imitate. Pleasant and genial in his manner, never inten- tionally wounding a friend, he is a gentleman whom one always likes to meet, nothing but pleasure resulting in such a privilege.

E. J. Owens, recognized as among the promi- nent business men of Little Rock, was born in the Emerald Isle, his birth occurring in Moagham County, in 1841. At the age of thirteen he be- gan to learn the tailor's trade from his father, who was a boss tailor. After completing that calling he worked in various places, among them being Glasgow, Scotland, and in 1863, turned his face toward the land of the free. Here he was em- ployed in large establishments in Philadelphia and New York, and in 1864 accepted a position as first cutter in an extensive house in Pottstown, Penn. After returning to Philadelphia (where he remained for a few months) he went to the oil regions, and

during the seven months with that firm he built up their trade about three times larger. At this successful point of his career his health failing him, necessitating an immediate change of cli- mate, he went to Hot Springs, where a great im- provement followed, and after a short stay he again embarked in the mercantile business, which proved very successful. Following a residence in Hot Springs for nineteen months. Mr. Owens came to Little Rock in 1871, and the trade that he has, by his own exertions, built up to its present dimen- sions, is indeed encouraging. In fact the estab- lishment is second to none in the city; from 1873 to 1881 he employed more men in his business than any one house of a similar nature in the State. In 1877 Mr. Owens was married to Miss Margurete O'Connor, and to this union four children have been born, three now living: Mary E. (one of the best musicians and scholars of her age in the school of the city), Catherine M., Margurete and Edward Francis (who died when quite young). Mr. and Mrs. Owens are devout members of the Catholic Church, and are all to the front in giving their aid to worthy enterprises. Mr. Owens is an original thinker, and in his political views, though for- merly a stanch Democrat, since the Union Labor party came into existence, he has supported the principles of that party. In 1888 he was elected and seated as a member of the State legislature.

Esten Peloubet, a lumber dealer of Central Arkansas, and also a manufacturer of yellow pine lumber, was born at Boonton, N. J., in 1848, and is a son of Asa B. and Caroline B. (Van Winkle) Peloubet, of Athens, N. Y., and Powerville, N. J., respectively. The parents were married in New Jersey, and resided in that State until the year 1860, when they moved to New York, but shortly afterward returned to New Jersey, where the wife died. In 1868 the elder Peloubet was again mar- ried, and moved to what is now Alexander, Ark., where he established a lumber business, which he conducted very successfully until his death, in 1882. He was a son of L. M. F. C. De Peloubet, a native of France, and Elizabeth Alcott, of Mas- sachusetts, U. S. A. His father was forced to flee from France, owing to a part he took in the French

Revolution. Subsequently he received an imperial pardon from Bonaparte. Esten Peloubet was the second child of three sons and three daughters, of whom only himself and one sister are yet living. He received a first-class high-school education in his youth, and in 1882 went into partnership with his father. The business previous to that had been Peloubet & Pierce, but in 1882 it was changed to Peloubet & Son, and so continued until the father's death, when Esten conducted it alone. In 1872 Mr. Peloubet was married to Miss Amanda Cook, of New Jersey, who died in 1879, leaving three sons. In 1885 he was married to Jennie E., a daughter of William Philips, formerly of Spring- field, Ill., where Mrs. Peloubet was born, and has one daughter by this union. In politics he is a strong Republican. He owns valuable land, with a fine saw and planing mill property, and has es- tablished a large patronage by his methods of doing business, being a man of integrity, and one in whom confidence can be placed with every de- gree of safety. Mrs. Peloubet is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and is well known for her kind and charitable nature.

J. S. Pollock, cashier of the Exchange National bank, and one of Little Rock's best-known citizens, was born in Erie County, Penn., fifty-one years ago, and is a son of Charles and Elizabeth (Wal- lace) Pollock, of the same State. Both parents lived and died in Pennsylvania. J. S. Pollock was reared and received a good common-school educa- tion in his native State, and when nineteen years old went to St. Louis. In 1858 he made a trip to New Orleans down the Mississippi River, in order to learn the duties of a steamboat clerk, and on his return trip his boat, the "Maj. Crosman," burst her boiler when opposite New Madrid, and burned to the water's edge. Mr. Pollock escaped by jumping into the river, and remained in the water for two hours. He was an expert swimmer, but his powers of endurance were about to succumb when he was happily rescued by reaching out and securing a plank that was floating by. He was found in an unconscious condition lying across the plank, and was afterward confined to his bed for some time, owing to the shock to his system,

but finally recovered. In the summer of 1858 he obtained a position as second clerk on the "D. A. January," and during the same fall obtained a position as clerk in the St. Louis postoffice, having once before occupied the same position for fifteen months in his native State. He remained in this place until the fall of 1862, and' then moved to Memphis, Tenn., to take charge of the chief clerk- ship of the postoffice in that city, after it was captured by the Federal forces. He remained in Memphis for thirteen months and then, at the re- quest of Postmaster-Gen. Montgomery Blair, he went to Vicksburg to take charge of the postoffice there as a special agent. In June, 1864, under the directions of the postoffice department he came to Little Rock, to take charge of the postoffice here as special agent, and iu the spring of 1865 was appointed postmaster by President Lincoln, but his commission was signed by President Johnson (President Lincoln having been assassinated in the meantime). In the fall of 1870 he was removed from the postoffice in favor of James L. Hodges, but in the fall of 1871 Mr. Hodges was removed and Mr. Pollock reappointed, serving until the spring of 1875, when he entered the First National Bank as teller, and later promoted to the office of assistant cashier, remaining in that capacity until February 1, 1882. About that time Messrs. J. H. McCarthy and W. P. Homan, railroad contractors and partners in business, concluded to start a bank and came to Mr. Pollock, asking him if he would accept the office of cashier. He agreed to do so, and resigned his position from the First National Bank, and immediately helped to organize the one he is with at present. The board of directors of the First National Bank, together with the presi- dent, Col. Logan H. Roots, gave Mr. Pollock a fine testimonial upon his retirement. In 1870 Mr. Pol- lock was married to Miss Lizzie Knight of Little Rock, a daughter of Col. J. E. Knight.

T. B. Rayburn, a leading photographer of Little Rock, has been a resident of the city nearly all his life. He was born in Clark County, and coming here when only ten years of age, com- menced learning the photographer's business with B. S. Alford, then a prominent artist in the city.

After remaining with him for over four years, and being in the employ of several others up to 1885, he formed a partnership with M. C. Davies, enter- ing into business for himself. under the firm name of Davies & Rayburn. In April, 1889, the firm dissolved partnership, and Mr. Rayburn opened up a gallery at his present well-known location. Since embarking in this calling, he has spent three years at Indianapolis, Chicago, and other northern cities, in learning all modern improvements in his profes- sion, and now is able to do as fine work as any artist in the South. Mr. Rayburn enjoys the dis- tinction of being the first photographer in the State to make celluloid portraits, or retouching by chemical process; to take first photograph by elec- tric light in the State, also the first photograph by magnesium light, and was the first artist to photo- graph the well-known caves near Batesville. He is one of the leading artists in Arkansas, and en- joys a large patronage, being especially chosen by theatrical people to do their work.

Irving and Ben F. Reinberger, prominent at- torneys of Little Rock, are natives of Missouri, and the sons of John M. and Ricka Reinberger, who were originally from Prussia. John M. Rein- berger came from Rawitz (Prussia) in 1853, and the mother from Krotoshin (Prussia), in 1852, both beginning life in the land of their adoption in New York City, where they were married in 1854. They remained in New York for some years, but residing in St. Louis at the time of Irving's birth, which occurred in 1860, and Ben's in 1864. After a short time another change of residence found them in Cincinnati, where they lived for twelve years. Lexington, Ky., was subsequently their abiding place, and six years later they came to Little Rock, Ark., where they now live. Irving's first school-days were passed in the public schools of Cincinnati, and afterward in the Ken- tucky University in Lexington, where he was one of the brightest and most favorite of pupils. At the age of sixteen, he learned the cigar maker's trade, giving this his attention for twelve years, and after coming to Little Rock, he was occupied in the manufacture of cigars. Notwithstanding that his time was nearly all taken up in the close

application he gave his business, he found time to study law, and after a strict and rigid examina- tion before the supreme court of the State of Ar- kansas, which he passed with honor, was given carte blanche to practice his profession where he chose. In 1884, at Lexington, Ky., he was mar- ried to Miss A. McCormick. Ben, as he is known by his friends, attended the same schools as his brother, and his early youth gave promise of his oratory powers, which have come up to the standard of excellence. His oratorical inclinations naturally led him to turn to the law for relief, and while a salesman in a dry-goods store he began his studies, to be continued under the direct super- vision, and in the office of George H. Sanders. These studies he continued for two years, and at the end of that time he passed his examination be- fore the Chief Justice Cochriel, and by him was admitted to the bar. Both brothers have a shrewd and highly commendable spirit, and by their un- tiring industry have achieved their present envi- able position. They are young men of push and enterprise which, added to their recognized ability, will make for them prominent places among the bar of Little Rock. They are members of the Jewish Church.

R. Richardson was born in Watertown, N. Y., March 20, 1835. He removed from there with his parents to Aurora, Ill., in 1843, and resided there until the breaking out of the war, enlisting in the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Illinois Volun- teer Infantry, and serving during the war. He was engaged in the manufacture of sash, doors and blinds at Montgomery, Ill., until 1874, and then became connected with C. J. L. Meyer, of Fond du Lac, Wis., and Chicago, in the same bus- iness until 1880, when he associated himself with R. McMillen & Co., of Oshkosh, Wis., in the same business. In 1886 he located in Little Rock, in a general manufacturing and lumber business under the firm name of Richardson & Rutherford, their place of business being Sixth and Centre Streets. The value of the plant is $50,000, and the capital stock paid up is $40,000. About forty men are employed, with an outlay of $100,000 a year. The trade, which is rapidly increasing. is both whole-

sale and retail, and consists of all kinds of build- ing material. Mr. Richardson was married at Elgin, Ill., in 1858, to Miss Eliza Akeis. Three children have blessed their union: Charles R. (connected with the Stock Exchange Telegraph of New York), William A. (cashier of sash, door and blind house of Palmer & Co., Chicago), and Harry (a young lad). Mr. Richardson is a Mason of the thirty-second degree; also an Odd Fellow and a Knight of Pythias.

Prof. J. R. Rightsen, the efficient and popular superintendent of the Little Rock city schools, is a native of Illinois, where his youth and early man- hood were passed. He comes from "warriors bold" on both the paternal and maternal sides of the house. His grandfather Rightsen was under Jackson at the battle of New Orleans, and his grandfather Waddell was a British officer in the same engagement. The latter was conquered in more ways than one, for soon after the close of the war he resigned his commission and came to Amer- ica, transferring his allegiance to one of America's daughters. The Professor's early education, the foundation of his future career, was received in the graded schools of Mattoon, Ill. Completing the course there, he entered the Normal school, from which he graduated with high honors, in 1868. The following year he was engaged in teaching, and having been elected to the principalship of Peabody school, he came to Little Rock, reaching there the first week in 1870. In December, 1871, he was chosen city superintendent, and has held that position ever since. Owing to the unsettled condition of affairs in the city, during the years of 1874 and 1875 he taught, and in connection with his duties as superintendent, assumed the princi- palship of the high school. Under his able man- agement, the schools have grown from demanding a corps of twenty teachers, teaching in ten differ- ent places (the school rooms in churches and store buildings), to about fifty teachers, occupying good modern buildings. Prof. Rightsen is a quiet, un- assuming gentleman, pleasant and agreeable in his manner, yet impressing one with the decided dig- nity and strength of his character. No higher encomiums of praise need be passed on him than

496

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

the simple statement that for nearly twenty years he has held the most important position in educa- tional circles in the State of Arkansas. In his marriage relations he is singularly fortunate. The only thing that mars the happiness of himself and wife is the death of their only daughter, Mary Clyde, whose departure has left a break in the family circle that the two boys, Richard and Willie, are naturally hardly able to fill. Mary died Feb- ruary 7, 1885, lacking but a few days of her elev- enth birthday. Prof. Rightsen's wife is the brill. iant and accomplished daughter of Chief Justice Wilshin. Their marriage was celebrated August 29, 1871.

Maj. P. K. Roots. Among the well-known and highly esteemed citizens of Little Rock, Mr. Roots, cashier of the First National Bank, stands pre- eminent. He comes of a good old New England family, the founder of whom was Josiah Roote, who first settled on American soil in 1634. The descent is traced in a direct line down to the prin- cipal of this sketch, Mr. P. K. Roots, who was born in Wilmington, Tolland County, Conn., in 1838. When quite young, his father moved to the State of Illinois, where he was reared and received a thorough training in the English branches of ed- ucation. When seventeen years of age, the desire to enter upon a career of his own was too strong to permit of his remaining at home, so he joined a corps of engineers on the New Orleans & Ohio Railroad, with whom he remained until the out- break of the Rebellion, when he was employed by the United States Government as civil engineer, and was engaged in maintaining and constructing the railroads managed by the military authorities. When these duties were no longer called for, he served as United States deputy surveyor general in Nevada, and from there came to Arkansas, where, in 1871, he was appointed chief engineer of the Cairo & Fulton Railroad. He held this po- sition until the consolidation of that line with the Iron Mountain Railroad, when he accepted the position of cashier of the National Bank of West- ern Arkansas, located at Fort Smith. By a judi- cious and conscientious discharge of his duties, his talents as a financier were so well shown, that in

1880 he was tendered the post of cashier of the First National Bank at Little Rock, which position he accepted and immediately assumed the duties of that office. His success has justified the trust reposed in him, and with his brother, Col. Logan H. Roots, the president of the bank, he takes a justifiable pride in keeping that institution in the rank it holds as the principal bank in the State. Maj. Roots is a gentleman of social worth and busi- ness integrity. In commercial life he has pros- pered through his legitimate methods of doing business and keenness of judgment. He has al- ways been economical, the basis upon which all successful men have laid the foundation of their fortunes, yet is ever willing to lend a helping hand to the needy and distressed. Those generous sis- ters, Charity and Benevolence, find continuous lodgment in his breast, nor is their call ever un- heeded. His tastes are strongly domestic, and he finds his only true comfort in the society of his in- teresting family. Maj. Roots was married in 1866 to Miss Fannie M. Blakeslee, a native of Laona, N. Y., and they are now the proud parents of three children, two sons and one daughter: Willard H. (the oldest, was born in 1867, and is now attend- ing the Institute of Technology at Boston, Mass.), Logan Herbert (born in 1870, is attending Harvard College) and Mary Emily (the youngest, born in 1873). She was attending school in Utica, N. Y., but has been obliged to give up her studies on ac- count of prostration, resulting from overwork, and is now recuperating at home.
