the land department since that time. Prof. Thomas determined to devote his fine farm (the Gov. Rec- tor plantation), fourteen miles southwest of Little Rock, to experimenting, with a view of determining the best agricultural products and breeds of stock for the climate of Arkansas, and the results of these experiments have been very flattering and all that could be desired.

William Thompson, M. D. In addition to some private study, which Dr. Thompson devoted to his profession, he, in 1856, graduated from the Medical Department of the University of Nash- ville, Tenn., and a long experience in the practice of his profession has made him very efficient and a thorough master of the "healing art." His first experience as a physician was at Thompson's Station, Tenn., but at the end of three years he came to Arkansas and settled ten miles south of Little Rock, remaining here until the opening of the Rebellion. During hostilities he was surgeon of the Ninety-first Regiment of Arkansas Calvary, eighteen months of his service being in the State of Arkansas, but the regiment was disbanded in Texas. In 1865 he resumed practice at his coun- try home, but in the year 1867 removed to Little Rock, and has since been identified with the city's interests, and is one of its oldest and most re- spected citizens. He is a member of the Pulaski County Medical Society, and also of the American Medical Association. His wife, Sallie (Dortch) Thompson, was a native of Middle Tennessee. He is a son of Joseph and Martha (Wade) Thomp- son. Both were Virginians, the former a tobacco manufacturer by occupation, who died in Alabama. in 1864. The paternal grandfather was born in Ireland, and was one of the early emigrants to the United States. Dr. Thompson was born in Vir- ginia, in 1830, and when a child removed with his parents to Georgia, in this State growing to man- hood and receiving his literary education.

Charles L. Thompson, one of the most promi- nent and skilled architects of Little Rock, is a native of Illinois, but chose this country as the land of his adoption in 1886. He received an ex- cellent education in the schools of Illinois, which has been supplemented by continued study and

application in later years, so that now he is thor- oughly conversant with the leading topics of the day. His ability as an architect is second to none, and the results of his labors show an originality of ideas that are very pleasing to the eye after being satiated with a sameness which so often prevails in the architecture of to-day. On July 24, 1889, he was married to Miss Lillian McGann. a charm- ing young lady, and a general favorite wherever she is known. Mr. Thompson is, and has been very successful in his chosen profession, and enjoys the confidence and respect of the entire community.

P. H. Treadway, M. D., is not only a success- ful and prominent physician of Little Rock, but he is also one of its leading druggists, and as a citizen is highly respected and esteemed by all who know him. Although he was born in Maryland, and received a portion of his medical education in his native State, he also attended lectures in the West, and later was a student in the Medical De- partment of the Arkansas Industrial University. After leaving college, he practiced successively in Pulaski and Perry Counties, Ark., coming to Little Rock in 1887, where he has since been an active practitioner. He followed his profession exclu- sively until January, 1889, at which time he estab- lished a drug store at the corner of Seventh and State Streets, where, being a man of shrewdness and excellent business qualifications, he has already built up a paying trade. Dr. Treadway traces his ancestry back to his great-great-grandfather, who was an English gentleman and came to the United States in 1700, settling on Bush River, Md., where he built a home and reared a family, the present generation of Treadways in this country being his descendants. Dr. Treadway's parents, Amos and Margaret (Carroll) Treadway, were born in Maryland, the father being a contractor and builder by occupation, this being his chief calling until his death, at the age of seventy-eight years. Several of the Treadways served in the War of the Revolution. The Doctor's grandfather was in the War of 1812, as well as in the Mexican War.

Nathan F. Trotter, an enterprising agricultur- ist of Pulaski County, was born in South Carolina, in the year 1816, and is a son of Joseph and Pat-

sey (Brook) Trotter, of North Carolina. The father was born May 14, 1792, and died in 1849 at Vicksburg, Miss. In 1830 he moved from South Carolina to Georgia, where he resided for five years, and then changed his location to Ala- bama, where he lived until 1848. He then moved to Mississippi, which State was the last he resided in. His wife was born in 1792, and bore him ten children, of whom seven are yet living, and all re- siding in Arkansas. Nathan F. was the second child of this family, and was reared in Alabama, and there educated. In 1842 he was married to Miss Jane Mitchell, of South Carolina, who was born on December 8, 1821, and this union has given them eight children, of whom six are still living: John, Benjamin B., Georgie A., Nathan, Alex. and Jefferson D. In IS51 Mr. Trotter and his family came to Helena, Ark., and in the fol- lowing year moved to where he now resides. He owns 300 acres of land, and has placed over 150 acres under cultivation, and his farm is one of the best improved in the county, as well as being an excellent one for any growth. The land is also well adapted for stock raising At one time he owned 600 acres, but has generously given each of his boys a portion, and reserved 300 acres for him- self. Mr. Trotter served about six months in the Confederate army, and occupied that time in gal- lantly defending his cause. In politics he is a stanch Democrat, and cast his first vote for Van Buren. He has held the office of justice of the peace of his township and filled the office in a dig- nified and satisfactory manner. In connection with his farming interests, Mr. Trotter operates a cotton-gin. which is one of the best in the county. His enterprise has long been a matter of admira- tion to the community, and his popularity is all owing to his genial and gentlemanly manner to all with whom he comes in contact, both in a social and business way. Mr. and Mrs. Trotter attend the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

J. B. Trotter, M. D. Among the medical fra- ternity of Pulaski County. no name is better known than that of Dr. J. B. Trotter. He was born in Fayette County, Tenn., December 15, 1861, being one of five sons born to J. H. Trotter and wife, and

from his earliest boyhood demonstrated that he would make his "mark" in life, which he cer- tainly has done. J. H. Trotter subsequently moved to Lonoke County, Ark .. where, for eight years, his son, J. B., lived with him. At the end of that time the latter entered upon what has proved to be a successful career. He began the study of medicine in 1880, under G. W. Morrow, M. D., of Tennessee, and in the winters of 1881-82 and 1882-83 he attended lectures at Memphis Hos- pital Medical College. The year 1883 witnessed his graduation from the college with honors, being the possessor of a bit of paper that licensed him to alleviate the sufferings of humanity in any part of the universe. Fortunately for the people of Gallo- way, he decided to locate at that place, and that he chose wisely in selecting a situation in which to commence his career is evinced by the liberal pat- ronage that has fallen to his lot. Notwithstanding that the Doctor has had plenty to do in attending to the various demands made upon him, he found time to be captivated by a most estimable lady, and in the spring of 1887 led to the Hymeneal altar Miss Myrtle Stovall. Mrs. Trotter is the daughter of J. M. Stovall, of Jacksonville, Ark. The Doc- tor owns a fine farm in Lonoke County, besides valuable property in other places.

James Tunnah (deceased) was one of the pio- neer business men of Little Rock. coming to that city in 1848. He was born in Dumfernline, Fife- shire, Scotland, on March 21, 1817, his parents, like most of the Scotch race, being people of great longevity. Emigrating to America in July, 1848, he landed at New Orleans, and, in the spring of 1849, with Joseph Clark, his companion from Scot- land, located at Little Rock. Both of them were marble and stone cutters, and were the first to es- tablish the marble business in Little Rock, which they carried on under the firm name of Joseph Clark & Co., until the death of Mr. Clark, in 1852, when the business was transferred to Mr. Tunnah. During the later years of his life, his son, Renton, was taken into partnership with him, and the elder continued actively in the business until his death, on October 9, 1882. He was married November 15, 1853, to Mrs. Helen McPherson Clark, widow

of his former partner, but lost his wife, who died February 17, 1877, at the age of fifty-five years. They were the parents of six children, of whom three are yet living: William Chester (book-keeper for W. B. Whorten & Co., Little Rock). James Kirkwood (passenger conductor on the Cotton Belt Railway) and Renton. Those deceased were John Graham, John Walter and Robert Bruce. Mrs. Tunnah had one son by her former marriage, George D. Clark, who died in this city on January 13, 1881. Mr. Tunnah was a prominent Mason of Arkansas, and was Tyler of the Grand Lodge for about twenty years, and was also a representative of the Grand Lodge of Scotland to the Grand Lodge of Arkansas. He was also wharf master and city collector for about twelve years. Renton Tunnah was born in Little Rock on March 16, 1864. and received a good public-school education. When old enough, he was put in his father's es- tablishment to learn the marble cutter's trade, and in the spring of 1882, the elder Tunnah gave him an interest in the business. When his father died he left no will, and the other half interest in the business fell to Renton, who has since conducted it with success. He owns a nice little residence at No. 208 Gaines Street Mr. Renton Tunnah is deeply interested in Knights of Pythias matters, and, seeing the necessity of a paper devoted to the interests of that fraternity in the State of Arkan- sas, he established the Pythian Advocate, which is issued monthly at the rate of $1 per annum, and is a neat, bright and newsy paper. He is a member of Damon Lodge No. 3, Knights of Pythias, and is a Past Chancellor of that lodge. and representa- tive to the Arkansas Grand Lodge. He was mar- ried February 26, 1884, to Miss Fannie A. Steven- son, of Little Rock. Three children have been born to this union: Robert K. (born November 28, 1884), Helen (born October 27, 1886) and Ren- ton, Jr. (born December 24, 1888.) Mrs. Tunnah is a devout Christian woman, and a member of the Christian Church. Mr. Tunnah is also a member of Capitol Lodge No. 25, A. O. U. W., and the Order of American Firemen. He is assistant chief of the Volunteer Fire Department of Little Rock.

school of the Commercial College rooms, of Little Rock, was originally from the Old Dominion, where his birth occurred in 1846. He passed his boyhood days in that State, and graduated from the regular course in the University of Virginia, in 1869. He was then engaged in teaching school in his native town until he came to Arkansas. During the above period he gave a portion of his time to the newspaper business, and later was pub- lic school superintendent of his home county in Virginia for a number of years. He came to Ar- kansas in 1875 to take charge of Fort Smith high school and acted as superintendent of the same for eleven years. After this he had charge of the Paris Academy for two years, at the end of which time he came to Little Rock and established the present classical school in connection with Little Rock Commercial College. He is professor of lan- guages and mathematics in the Commercial College also, and makes a specialty of preparing students for eastern colleges, and preparing cadets for West Point. He limits his number of students to about forty. Prof. Venable is one of the most pro- ficient mathematicians and linguists in the South, and the student who passes from his hand may consider himself well worthy the position to which Prof. Venable has recommended him to apply. The Professor was married in his native State to Miss F. Miles, a graduate of North Washing- ton College, Va., and is now a teacher in Arkan- sas Female College. Their union was blessed by the birth of four interesting children: George, Fitzhugh, Luther R. and Gertrude V. The great forefathers of Prof. Venable were Norman-French, and came to England with William the Conqueror. One of them at one time was in charge of the city of Paris. The family came to America in 1852. There were soldiers in this family while in Eng- land, and there has always been one member to represent the same in the English navy. Grand- father Venable was an officer in the Revolutionary War, and is the Venable defended by Patrick Henry for killing a cow for beef for the soldiers. Venable was a commissary officer. Prof. M. R. Venable was color-bearer in Ross' division of the Army of Northern Virginia during the Civil War,

and served three and a half years, surrendering at Appomattox Court House.

Creed T. Walker, cashier and manager of the Bank of Little Rock, and a well-known citizen of that place, was born in Desha County, Ark. His maternal grandfather, Creed Taylor, was a native of Kentucky, who came to Arkansas when it was known as a part of the Louisiana territory, and located in what is now Conway County, on June S, 1817. He subsequently removed to Jefferson County, on June 8, 1887, having resided in the State of Arkansas for a period of seventy years, being now at the age of eighty eight years. For a long period he was in charge of the United States land office, having headquarters at Helena and Pine Bluff. During his residence here he sur- veyed over a large portion of the State, and was a man of energy and daring enterprise, being well known throughout Arkansas. His wife was a Miss Vaugine before her marriage, and a granddaugh- ter of Capt. Don. Joseph Valliere, a commander of French troops under Baron de Carondelet, once Governor of the Territory of Louisiana. Creed Taylor was twice married; his first wife bore him three children, all daughters, of whom Eulalie Vaugine is the mother of Creed T. Walker, by her marriage with Robert W. Walker in 1841. Rob- ert W. Walker was a native of Virginia, but re- moved at an early day to Tennessee with his parents, and was reared in Nashville. 'He after- ward settled in Jefferson County, Ark., and had charge of the United States land office at Pine Bluff, under Creed Taylor, residing there until his death, in 1868. Creed T. Walker was reared and lived in Jefferson County, Ark., until fifteen years of age. He then attended school at Nashville, Tenn., remaining there nutil the Civil War commenced, when he joined Pat Cleburne's old regiment, the Fifteenth Confederate States Regiment from Ar- kansas, but his career in the army was cut short, by being captured at the battle of Perryville and kept a prisoner until the war ended. On being released he went to Kentucky, and at Harrodsburg obtained a position in the Commercial Bank of Kentucky, remaining there for one year. He sub- sequently returned to Arkansas, and engaged in

steamboating on the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers, remaining in that business four years, and in January, 1870, entered the banking house of S. H. Tucker, in Little Rock. In September, 1873, he left that firm to accept a position with George Brodie & Son, bankers, and for one year and a half he remained with them, but again was offered a position with another bank, the German Savings, which was a successor of the German National Bank, and continued with this house for fourteen years. When the scheme of opening a new bank was broached, Mr. Walker was solicited to take charge of it, and commenced as its cashier and manager, on February 25, 1889. He is also director and treasurer of the Little Rock Trust Company, and a stockholder and director of the Arkansas Granite Company. Mr. Walker is also treasurer of the Ladies' Building Association, as well as of the Royal Arcanum and Knights of Honor. In religious faith he is a member and trustee of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. On Janu- ary 4, 1866, he was married to Miss Lizzie D. Cox, of Harrodsburg, Ky., by whom he has had six chil- dren, four of whom are living: Robert D., Mary E., Creed and Bessie. Mrs. Walker and her two eldest children also attend the same church.

and Mrs. M. C. Warner, principal. The president of the faculty has always been president in name, and Mrs. M. C. Warner has adjusted the school affairs. At the end of four years Gen. L. M. Lewis resigned, since which time the subject of this sketch has found all the duties incident to an institution of this kind devolving upon her. The Methodist Episcopal Conference withdrew their interest also, but Mrs. Warner has remained faithfully at her post of duty, true to the cause of education, in which she glories, and in which she is spending her life. She has seen over sixty of the daughters of many of the best families in Arkansas graduate from her school, and the alumni in the early years of the school has always been kept up -- the only successful alumni in the State. The successive presidents of the school board have been Hon. G. A. Garland, Maj. Blocker, Judge English and Hon. J. G. Fletcher. The person to whom the true honor of the fame of Arkansas Female College is due is Mrs. Myra C. Warner, the present prin- cipal, and the only one of the original members still identified with it. She is a native of New York State, born in 1833, and grew to womanhood there, graduating from Alfred University with two degrees, A. B. and A. M. Ten years from that time the school conferred the degree of D. D. upon her also. She came to Little Rock in 1852, taught a private school for two years, and then went North. She returned after the war, opened a pri- vate school, aud taught the same until she became principal of Arkansas Female College. Mrs. War- ner is a woman eminent as an educator, and in scholarly attainments has no equal in the State. She is Scotch-Irish on her father's side, and on that side, too, is related to the Carrolls, of Carroll- ton. On the mother's side she is connected with the Huntingtons. She and her people are strict Presbyterians.

Mrs. Myra C. Warner. No true history of this section could fail to make mention of this esteemed lady, whose connection with the affairs of Arkan- sas Female College, of Little Rock, has given her wide and honorable acquaintance. As early as 1872 a number of prominent citizens of this place began to see the necessity of establishing a school where their daughters might be educated, and at the same time be kept within the circle of home influence. The result of their efforts was the establishment of the Arkansas Female College. Twelve directors were selected, of whom Hon. G. A. Garland was president, Judge William C. Rateliff, secretary, and Dr. J. H. McAtamont, John Wassell (deceased) first came to Little Rock, in 1837. He was born in Kidderminster, England, the center of the great carpet industry, in 1814. At the age of eighteen he left England and came to America, intending to join an uncle in | Philadelphia; but upon arriving at that city he treasurer. In order to insure the confidence of the public, the Methodist Conference was asked to take the school under its management, and make it a Conference school. Dr. Winfield, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was elected financial agent; Gen. L. M. Lewis, president of the faculty, , could find nothing of his relative, except informa-

Little Rock, enjoying remarkably good health for one of her age, seventy-four years. She is a native of Delaware. Albert, the eldest son, is a lawyer by profession, but has not yet engaged in active practice. He was married, in 1877, to Miss Leona H. McAlment, of Little Rock, a daughter of Dr. Corrydon McAlment. Four children were born to this union, of whom two are now living: Cory and Ruth. Mr. Wassell is a member of the Christ Episcopal Church, and his wife is a Presbyterian. Samuel S., the second son, is a practicing attorney of this city. He was born in Little Rock, in 1854, and was educated at Cornell University, from which institution he graduated in 1876. He then went to Memphis, Tenn., and read law in the office of Randolph, Hammond & Jordan. In 1877 the junior partner withdrew from the firm and Mr. Wassell took his place, changing the firm name to Randolph, Hammond & Wassell. The yellow fever epidemic of 1878 forced them to leave the city, and Mr. Wassell returned to Little Rock, where he was admitted to practice and has since been engaged. His office is located in the Wassell Block, a building erected by himself and brother Herbert. In April, 1878, he was married to Miss Elizabeth McCon- aughey, a daughter of J. W. McConaughey. This union gave them three children: Frank J., Samuel Mc. and James Bracy. Herbert, the youngest son, is engaged in the real-estate business, and is also manager of his mother's property and the real estate left by his father. He is yet unmarried, and, like his brothers, is a member of Christ Epis- copal Church.
