HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

office of State senator for the Thirty-first senatorial district, and, though making a creditable race, was defeated by the Democratic nominee. He has been a member of Henderson Lodge No. 147, at Cedar Glade, for twenty years, and is the present Master, besides holding, at different times, nearly all the offices. In religious belief the Doctor and wife attend the Missionary Baptist Church, and are liberal in their aid to all religious and educational enterprises.

city on the Mount Ida road, and has placed some 200 acres under cultivation besides building a fine residence. In politics he was formerly a Whig, but since the war he has voted the Democratic ticket, and is one of the stanchest adherents to that party. In secret societies he is a member of Cen- tennial lodge No. 5, Knights of Pythias, at Hot Springs, and holds the office of Commander. He and wife both belong to the Methodist Church. They are among the foremost people in that sec- tion to aid by hearty support and influence in all commendable movements.

Dr. Elijah A. Shippey, by no means unknown as a prominent medical practitioner of Hot Springs, was born in Spartanburg District, S. C., in 1832, J. W. Skief, a pioneer farmer of Mill Town- ship, Garland County, Ark., was born in Illinois, February 11, 1832, the son of John and Isabell Skief. The former was born in Smith County, Tenn., in 1800, and engaged in farming all his life. He was married in 1822, by which union he had five children, only two of whom are now living: Arena (wife of Lewis Dalton), and J. W. (the subject of this sketch.) In 1823, removing from Tennessee to Illinois, he entered land in Clay County, and there died in 1836. His wife was of Scotch and English descent, her birth occurring in Tennessee in 1803; she died in 1852, a member of the Presbyterian Church. J. W. Skief was reared on a farm; though in youth he had no opportunities to obtain an education, except the efforts put forth at home evenings to study by the light of pine knots. In 1844 he removed with his mother to Texas, and the following year to Arkansas, settling in what is now Garland County. In 1854, in company with his brother-in-law, John Gibbons, he crossed the plains via Salt Lake City to Los Angeles, and on to Lower California with ox teams. While on the journey they spent much of their time in hunting antelopes, deer, mountain goats, etc. From Lower California they went to Maine Prairie, where they worked in the mines a short time and also in the Jimtown mines. In 1857 they went to a point on the Columbia River, in Washington Territory, thence on to British America, from there to Queen Charlotte, and Van Couver Island, and at the latter place boarded the ship Panama, for San Francisco and on to New and is a son of Johnson and Catherine (Austel) Shippey, natives of the same State. About the year 1833 the parents moved to Alabama, residing there until 1848. They then went to Louisiana, where the father died in 1863, and the mother in 1871. The parents were members of the Methodist Church and of English-Irish origin. The father was a very successful farmer during his life, and a man highly respected by all who knew him, his father being also a farmer and one of the heroes of the Revolution. Elijah A. Shippey, the eldest of three sons and four daughters born to the parents, was reared on a farin, and received a good aca- demic education, at the age of eighteen years com- mencing the study of medicine in Louisiana. In 1854 he graduated from the Medical Department of the University of Louisville, Ky .. and practiced in Louisiana until the Civil War commenced, when he enlisted and served as assistant surgeon until the close of that event. In 1857 Dr. Shippey was married to Margaret, daughter of Alex and Eliz- abeth Lawrence, of Louisiana, and in 1865 he moved with his wife to Arkansas. They resided two years in Magnolia, and from there went to Camden, and in 1873 came to Hot Springs, where the Doctor has resided ever since. He is one of the most successful as well as one of the oldest practicing physicians and surgeons in that sectiou, having practiced for over thirty five years, and has attained a reputation for skill in his profession that can not be exceeded by any practitioner in Central Arkansas. The Doctor owns a splendid farm of 600 acres, about eight miles west of the | York City. Starting for home across the country,

they traveled by stage principally, and in 1859 returned to Hot Springs. Soon after an extended trip was taken through Texas and the extreme South, returning in 1860. In 1861 Mr. Skief en- listed in Company F, of Third Arkansas Cavalry. He was in the battles of Inka, Corinth, Missionary Ridge, Holly Springs, Spring Hill and many others, and served until the close of the war, and was never captured or wounded. Mr. Skiet was married in 1866 to Mary E., daughter of D. M. McGrew. She was born in Illinois in 1840. Mr. McGrew was born in 1816 and died in 1864. His wife was born in 1818 and died in 1875. They were the parents of four children: Martha (wife of R. W. Gibbons), Sarah (wife of David Mayberry), Riley and Mary E. (wife of the sub- ject of this sketch.) Mr. Skief is one of the suc- cessful and practical farmers of Garland County. He owns a fine farm of 320 acres, with 120 acres under cultivation, and raises a superior grade of Short-horn cattle. His good orchard yields abun- dant returns, and his buildings and fences are kept in first-class order. He has probably the most commodious barns in the county, one being 50x50 feet and the other forty feet square, containing room to stable all his cattle and store his grain. Mr. Skief is a member of the A. F. & A. M.

S. H. Stitt, proprietor Arlington Hotel, Hot Springs, Ark. There is nothing adds so much to the prestige of a city, in the estimation of a stran- ger, as first-class hotel accommodations. Promi- nent among those of Hot Springs comes the old and familiar Arlington House, which name has about it the ring of a familiar and tried friend. The proprietor, Mr. Stitt, is a native of Tennessee, was reared in Nashville, and there received his education in the public schools. At the age of sixteen years he engaged in business, principally the hotel occupation, and in 1867 came to Little Rock, where he was in the ice trade until 1869. He then located at Hot Springs, and in 1870 opened the Hot Springs Hotel, associated with Maj. W. H. Gaines, and ran this until 1874, when he sold out. Then in connection with Col. W. S. Fordyce, president of the St. Louis & Texas Rail- road, he erected the Arlington Hotel, which is

now the most popular house at Hot Springs. It is located near bath-honses and has every conven- ience. The house contains 180 rooms, and spe- cial rates are made to commercial men. Mr. Stitt is a prince among hotel men, is naturally suited and adapted for it; he keeps his help constantly under supervision, and sees that guests are prop- erly cared for. His marriage took place in 1875 to Miss Augusta, daughter of Maj. W. H. Gaines, and by her became the father of five children. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity and the I. O. O. F. He was born at Bridgeport, Eng- land, but came to America with his parents when an infant, and located in Nashville, Tenn.

Hon. John J. Sumpter, attorney, Hot Springs, Ark. Mr. Sumpter is one of those men, too few in number, who fully recognize the truth so often urged by the sages of the law, that, of all men, the reading and thoughts of a lawyer should be most extended. Mr. Sumpter was born in War- renton, Warren County, Mo., on July 7, 1842, and is the son of James and Elizabeth Sumpter, the former of whom died in 1861, but the latter is still living. John J. Sumpter received his edu- cation in the common schools, studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1878, since which time he has successfully practiced his profession. He en- tered the Confederate army in 1861, Third Arkan- sas Cavalry, as a private, was promoted to lieuten- ant in 1862, and was subsequently made captain, serving in that capacity until the close of the war. He was in nearly all the engagements throughout Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, South and North Carolina, under Gens. Forrest and Wheeler, and was a brave and fearless officer. He was married to Miss Nannie E. Cayce, a native of Tennessee, November 8, 1866, and the fruits of this union were six children, three of whom are now living: John J., Jr. (aged twenty years), Orland H. (aged eighteen years) and Mary L. (aged fifteen years. ) Mr. Sumpter is one of the prominent men of the State, and has held many official positions. He was sheriff two terms, represented his county in the legislature three times, and is at present State senator. He was a member of the National Dem- ocratic Committee from Arkansas eight years. He

Hon. Frank M. Thompson, superintendent of Hot Springs Reservation, is a native of Osage County, Mo., born June 24, 1843, and is the only survivor of four children (sons) born to the union of James and Esther (Estes) Thompson, the father a native of Illinois, and the mother of Missouri. James Thompson followed agricultural pursuits as a livelihood, and died in Hempstead County, Ark., in 1880. The mother also died in that county. They came to Arkansas in 1849. The maternal grandparents were early settlers of Mis- souri. Frank M. Thompson was but six years of age when he came to Arkansas, and here he grew to maturity, receiving a limited education in the common schools. He was reared to the arduous duties of the farm, and remaining on the same until the breaking out of the war, he flung aside the im- plements of peace, to take up the weapons of war- fare, and enlisted in the State troops, serving three months when they were disbanded. He then en- listed in the regular Confederate army, Company G. Ninteenth Arkansas Infantry, and served until the surrender, during which time he held the rank of sergeant, lieutenant and captain. He was pro- moted to the rank of captain in 1864. At Arkan-

sas Post he was taken prisoner and confined at Camp Chase, Ohio, for three months, thence to Fort Delaware, where he remained one month, and then to Petersburg, Va., where he was exchanged. He was in a number of engagements, the most prominent being: Oak Hill, Mo., and Chicka- mauga. At the close of the war he located in Columbia County, Ark., and carried on the mer- cantile business until 1875, when he went to Hope, Hempstead County, of the same State, and there still continued that business until 1885. He then sold out and lived retired for a few years. He rep- resented Columbia County in the legislature for one term, in 1871, was county judge of Hemp- stead County, from 1882 to 1884, and was mayor of Hope for three terms. He was elected to the State senate, in 1886, from the Twentieth district, composed of the counties of Hempstead and Ne- vada, and served four years, when he resigned, to accept his present position in June, 1889. He se- lected Miss E. C. Hicks. a native of Arkansas, as his companion in life, and was married to her August 15, 1865. The fruits of this union are two children: Frank M., Jr., and Floyd. The Captain is a member of the Masonic fraternity and Knights of Pythias. He is one of the prominent men of Southern Arkansas, and now holds an important position given him by the Government. He was Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, for the State, in 1884, is chairman of the Republican Committee of Hempstead County, and a member of the Republican State Central Committee for the State at large.

Dr. M. G. Thompson, Hot Springs, Ark. The name of Thompson is among the most influential in Hot Springs, and is one of the most respected by this community. Dr. M. G. Thompson's birth occurred in Fayette County, Tenn., July 22, 1849, and he is next to the youngest of six children born to the union of James and Amanda (Gill) Thomp- son, the former a native of Georgia and the latter of Tennessee. James Thompson was a prominent agriculturist and followed this pursuit up to the time of his death, which occurred in Fayette Coun- ty, Tenn. The mother died at Beebe, Ark. Dr. M. G. Thompson was partially educated in Missis-

sippi, under a governess at home, and when twenty- three years of age he began the study of medicine, graduating at the University of Louisville in Feb- ruary, 1878. He also has a certificate from the hospital of Louisville. He first began practicing in Lonoke County, Ark., and after remaining there three years, moved to Beebe for a short time, thence to Little Rock, Germantown, Tenn., and finally, in 1886, located in Hot Springs where he has since been actively engaged. The Doctor was married to Miss Lena Bristol, in 1886, and this union has been blessed by the birth of one child: Murray G. The Doctor and his wife are members of the Baptist Church and are esteemed and respected by all. He is secretary of the Hot Springs Medical Society, and although a resident of the Springs only a few years, he has built up an extensive practice in that time and has won the confidence of the people as a clever and scientific practitioner.

Francis A. Thornton, of Mountain Glen, Mill Township, Garland County, was born in Trout County, Ga., in 1849, being the son of Robert and Sarah J. (Fielder), both natives of Georgia. The father was engaged in the woolen-mill business near- ly all his life, and was married about 1840. They were the parents of ten children: Georgiana (now Mrs. Mays), Napoleon B., Thomas N., Henrietta J. (the wife of Charles Keith), Sarah R. (wife of Harris Keith), Victoria (wife of Albert T. Trim), Louina P. (deceased), Caladonia (deceased), Eldorada (now Mrs. Nelson) and Francis A. (the subject of this sketch.) Mr. Thornton was a member of the Ma- sonic order, and also of the Methodist Church. He died in 1876. His wife, who was born in 1827, was a member of the Methodist Church, and died in 1883. F. A. Thornton began farming for him- self at the age of twenty. In 1860 he left Georgia and moved to Texas, where he continued agricult- ural pursuits for the next five years, coming thence to Arkansas and purchasing a farm. To this he has since added, so that he now has between 1,000 and 1,200 acres, with 200 acres under cultivation. In 1869 he married Miss Nancy Partain, who died in 1874, leaving one child, Francis J. He took tion. Fort Smith was the depot for supplying for his second wife Virginia L. Mayers, the daugh- ' forts in the Indian Nation. Trade grounds extend-

ter of M. Mayers, to whom he was married in 1880. They are the parents of three children: Francis A., Marie L. and Robert A. Mr. Thornton is a miller by trade, and also a distiller, in which busi- ness he has been engaged since 1882. He also owns a cotton-gin and two saw and shingle mills, besides some real estate in Hot Springs. It is said that the water-power of his grist-mill is the finest on the Ouachita River or in the State. Mr. Thornton is worth about $15,000, and is recognized as among the most influential men in the county. His wife was born in Virginia in 1857, her mother being a native of Switzerland and of French de- scent. Mr. and Mrs. Mayers were the parents of six children: William H. L., Harriet C., Mary E .. Ellen D., Martha L. and Virginia L. They are now residents of Texas. Mr. Thornton was ap- pointed postmaster in 1877, which office he yet fills. He is an influential Democrat of the com- munity. Dr. M. Mayers, father-in-law of Mr. Thornton, was born in Maryland in 1818, his par- ents being Abraham Mayers and Catharine Gilbert. natives of Pennsylvania. They had a family of ten children, of whom. at this date, only two broth- ers remain. The senior Mayers owned a farm and carried on milling and other industries, but, un- fortunately, by endorsing, everything was taken. Subsequently he carried on the hotel business in Maryland, District of Columbia and Pennsylvania for some eleven years, with a family of three girls and five boys. The parents retiring from life, friends procured young Mayers a situation in a drug store, where he remained for eight years. Learning from his brother of the great advantage or fortune to be made in Arkansas, he set out for the new " Eldorado " in 1840 (a long time before Greeley said, "Go West, young man,") by stage. canal and steamer from Pittsburgh. Embarking in the drug business, he opened up the first drug store in Fort Smith, where a cosmopolite commu- nity composed the inhabitants, numbering some 100 citizens. The town was laid off by Capt. John Rogers. A Government fort was partially built, and a military post was then the head of naviga-

ed over hundreds of miles, annuities were paid regularly to the five civilized tribes, and in dealing with the Indians Mr. Mayers early saw that they needed something besides drugs. His business became general and prosperous until the " crash" in 1860, and then chaos reigned for years. Fi- nally he took up his residence in Paris, Tex., in 1872. He has passed the allotted period of "three score and ten" with good health, and at present has no fault to find with the past. What a contrast the present offers to the surroundings of the 40's, when a mail arrived every two weeks; the Indian with his train of ponies laden with peltries; no press to advertise one's wares; hundreds of miles of uncertain navigation; river down, and no boats for a year; goods high in price; salt 25 cents per pound. Surely, a great change has occurred. Hot Springs, in 1848, had one hotel and one bath-tub. Arkansas must or ought to develop, as the natural resources become known. Mr. Mayer's wife, Marie L. Perrey, is a native of Switzerland, born in 1831, and emigrated to America in 1835. They were married in 1848. She has one sister, Louisa, liv- ing in Paris, Tex. (1889.)

|: Hiram A. Whittington was born in Boston, Mass., January 14, 1805. He left Boston in 1820, going south, and arrived in Little Rock, Ark., in December, 1826, and remained in Little Rock un- til 1832, when he left for Hot Springs, Ark. Here he has resided ever since.

Robert L. Williams, sheriff and collector, at Hot Springs, Ark., is a native of Hopkins County, Ky., born January 22, 1850, and is a son of Roland P. Williams, who was a successful tiller of the soil all his life. The father married Margaret Gilli- land, who, as well as himself, was a native of Ken- tucky, and in 1859 they moved to Missouri. In 1863 they refugeed to the Lone Star State, but afterward, in 1867, emigrated to Arkansas, locat- ing in Polk County, where the mother died. The father is now living with his son, Robert L. They reared a large family of children, six of whom are living. Robert L. Williams early in life became familiar with the details of farm life, and received his education in the common schools. In 1878 he removed to Hot Springs, where he was engaged in

keeping a wagon-yard for about a year. After this he clerked in a grocery store for three years, and then entered with a partner into the same bus- iness, also keeping a wholesale and retail feed store, which he has since continued. In 1886 he was elected to his present position, and so well did he discharge his official duties, that he was re- elected in 1889. He is an able and efficient offi- cer, and commands the respect of all for his faitlı- fulness. Mr. Williams was married February 11, 1872, to Miss Martha E. Allen, a native of Polk County, Ark., and the fruits of this union are four interesting children: Bennie A., John, Florence and Josie. Mr. Williams owns considerable real estate in Texas, besides extensive property inter- ests in Hot Springs.

W. J. Willoughby, properly regarded as one of the prominent citizens of Hot Springs Town- ship, Garland County, was born in 1817, in the State of Virginia, but is of Scottish and English descent. His father, William J. Willoughby, was a Virginian by birth, growing up on a farm, to which occupation he gave much attention during life. He served in the War of 1812, and was in the battle of New Orleans under Gen. Jackson. His father was a soldier in the Revolutionary War, and was an Englishman by birth. William J. Willoughby, Sr., was married in Virginia, in 1814, to Sarah Sorrel, and they became the parents of two children: John B. and William J. (the subject of this article.) The latter was educated in Vir- ginia, and in 1833 began the study of law. After being admitted to the bar he removed to Missis- sippi, where he commenced practicing, and there remained until 1853, when he went to Arkansas, settling in Montgomery County. In 1863 he was elected probate judge at Mount Ida, Montgomery County, which office he held for eight years. He also served one year as probate judge of Garland County, in which locality he was a prominent law- yer of that county, but being in poor health was obliged to give up his profession, and is now en- gaged in farming. He also owns 160 acres of land, with about fifty acres under cultivation. Mr. Willoughby married Mrs. Mary A. Robinson, in 1856, the widow of William Robinson, and the

daughter of Elisia Robinson and Sarah (Birdsong), who were the parents of ten children: Rebecca, Minnie, Harvey, Robert, Miles, Louisa, Emaline, Monroe, Mary A. and John. Her father died in Tennessee, in 1848. and her mother died in 1844. Both were members of the Baptist Church. Mr. Willoughby and wife have a family of six children: James M , Henry L., Virgil S., Serenia A. (wife of George Crouch), Selena A. and Joseph R. Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby are members of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church.

Judge James B. Wood, circuit judge, Hot Springs, Ark. No name is justly entitled to a more enviable place in the history of Garland County than the one which heads this sketch, for it is borne by a man who has been usefully and honorably identified with the interests of this county, and with its advancement in every worthy particular. He owes his nativity to Drew County, Ark., where he was born January 25, 1851, and is the son of John S. and Martha (Bussey) Wood, both natives of Georgia. John S. Wood removed, when a boy, to Alabama, and came to Drew County, Ark .; at an early day, where he married Miss Bussey, and followed the occupation of a farmer. He is also a Baptist minister. He re- · sided in Drew County until 1853, when he re- 35

moved to Ashley County, of the same State, and there he now resides. Judge James B. Wood was reared in Ashley County, Ark., received his education in the common schools, and at the age of twenty began the study of law, being admitted to the bar in 1872. He practiced in Ashley County until March, 1875, when he came to Hot Springs, where he has since practiced his profes- sion. In 1878 he was elected prosecuting attorney of the Seventh judicial circuit, composed of the counties of Garland, Hot Spring, Grant, Saline and Perry, and held this position for four years, or two terms. In 1882 he was elected circuit judge of the same circuit, and so great was his popular- ity that he was re-elected in 1886. Mr. Wood, when elected, was the youngest circuit judge in Arkansas, but nevertheless this has not interfered with the respect and esteem manifested toward him for his sterling integrity, sound judgment and liberal, progressive ideas. A younger brother, C. D. Wood, is also one of the circuit judges of this State, his being the Tenth judicial circuit. He was elected in 1886. Judge Wood's marriage to Miss Hettie G. Scott, a native of Louisiana, oc- curred in 1877, and to them have been born four children: Guy, Scott, John S. and Marnette. The Judge and Mrs. Wood are Baptists.
