Simeon William Cate has been a resident of But- ler Township for nineteen years and a citizen of the State for nearly thirty years, a period of suf- ficient length to acquire for him a wide and hon- ored acquaintance. He was born in Tennessee on April 10, 1834. his parents being William and Susan (Cate) Cate, natives of North Carolina. William Cate was born in 1801, and died at the

Tennessee (whither he moved when about eighteen years of age), who survived him some two years. Both were of Irish descent. They were the par- ents of eleven children, seven of whom are now living. Simeon W., the subject of this sketch, was married in 1855 to Mary L. Fryar, who died in 1856, leaving one child, William P., of Cleburne County. In 1858 Mr. Cate married his present wife, Naomi Wilson, originally from Tennessee, and who is the mother of eleven children: James M., Calvin F., Simeon L., Joseph N., Charles P., George H., Lulu (wife of Thomas J. Allison), Ida P. (wife of William Allison), Susan C., Mary L. and Sarah. In October, 1860, Mr. Cate moved from Henry County, Tenn., to Prairie County, Ark., and in January, 1870, came to this county, settling in Butler Township, where he now makes

his home. He has a fine farm of 345 acres, 150 acres under cultivation. The surroundings here indicate the presence of a thorough agriculturist. In 1862 Mr. Cate enlisted in Company A, of McCray's Infantry Regiment, in which he served eighteen months. He was wounded at the battle of Helena, being shot through the hand and also in the side (the effects of which he still feels), soon after which he was captured and taken prisoner. After his release he was paroled and returned home. Mr. Cate has been a member of the Masonic order since 1857, and belongs to Mount Pleasant Lodge No. 99. He is a well-to do farmer and a good citizen, and has held the office of justice of the peace for thirteen years.

James Caviness, a resident of Carlisle Town- ship since 1859, is a native of North Carolina, where he was born in 1828. George and Fersiby (Jerdan) Caviness, his parents, were Virginians by birth, and moved to North Carolina before their marriage, locating in Chatham County, where they remained until death, the father dying in 1846, and the mother in 1858. They had a family of six children, all of whom lived to be grown, and three of whom are yet living. James Caviness remained at home until the demise of his father, when he hired out, working for 20 cents per day. At the age of nineteen he was married to Adeline Perry, a native of North Carolina, who was born in 1828. Following this important event he commenced farming for himself near the old homestead, where he continued until obtaining enough ahead to buy a farm. He then moved to| Arkansas in 1859, and settled in Lonoke County, on the place he still owns, which was then covered with timber, and which he has since cleared and improved. When the war broke out, he (Mr. Cav- iness) enlisted in the Confederate army for three years, and was on detached duty with Price, on his raid through Missouri, Kansas and the Indian Territory. After the war he returned to his farm in Lonoke (then Prairie) County, the locality then being thinly settled. A great change is noticeable since that pioneer day. Mr. and Mrs. Caviness are the parents of eight children, five of whom are living: John, Maggie, James, William and Arthur.

Those deceased are: Ora. Jefferson B. and an in- fant not named. Maggie is the wife of Arthur Screeton, and lives in Prairie County. Mr. and Mrs. Caviness are members of the Methodist Epis- copal Church. Mr. Caviness is a strong Demo- crat, and a citizen of whom the county may well feel proud.

Hon. J. B. Chapline, president and manager of the Wheel store, at Lonoke, Ark., of South Car- olina origin, was born at Greenville, June 16, 1847. as the son of George M. and Wilhelmina (Chick) Chapline, natives of Kentucky and South Carolina, respectively. The paternal grandfather, Jacob Chapline, was one of the earliest settlers of Kentucky, the Blue Grass State, and a companion of the pioneer, Daniel Boone. The progenitor of the Chapline family came from England at an early day, and the settlement of the family in Kentucky is commemorated by the naming of the Chapline Hills, near Perryville, as well as the Chapline River. George M. Chapline was an extensive planter at Greenville, S. C., where he resided until his death. In a family of two sons and three daughters, the subject of this sketch is the second in order of birth, and the oldest son. He was only eighteen years of age when his father died, leaving the entire care of his extensive business to his management. In 1867 he came to Arkansas, and located in Crittenden, having previously re- sided in the same county in 1865. One year later he removed to Little Rock, where for four years he was engaged in the mercantile and contracting business. In 1875 Mr. Chapline took up a planta- tion on the White River. In 1882 he secured the contract and completed work amounting to half a million of dollars, for the Cotton Belt Railroad. He removed to Lonoke in 1885 (where he now re sides), and in 1873-84 he was elected to the Gen- eral Assembly as the candidate of the Republican party from Little Rock. When in the legislature he originated the movement and introduced a bill resulting in the organization of Lonoke County, then a part of Prairie and Pulaski Counties, and to him is largely, if not entirely, due the credit of Lonoke's formation. On November 6, 1861, Mr. Chapline enlisted in the Sixteenth Regiment South

598

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

Carolina State troops. It will be seen at a glance that he was only fifteen years of age at the time of enlistment, but his service was one marked by a devotion and gallantry worthy the career of those older in years. Mr. Chapline was married in 1868 to Miss Alice Hodges, of Alabama nativity, who came to Mississippi with her parents. To them have been born three sons and four daughters. In politics Mr. Chapline is a Democrat, and with his family worships at the Baptist Church. He is president of the Lonoke branch of the American Building, Loan and Tontine Savings Association of Memphis, and is also member of the city board, and chairman of the street committee. . In 1888 he erected the cotton-gin now owned by Chapline & England, which is one of the finest in the State. This firm conducts the Lonoke brick-yard. Mr. Chapline has done his full share toward the ad- vancement and progress of Lonoke, always mani- festing great interest and public spirit in enter- prises of a worthy character.

Hon. George M. Chapline, clerk of the county of Lonoke, whose private life and public record are alike untarnished, was also born in Greenville, S. C., November 16, 1849, being the third of two sons and three daughters, in the family of George M. and Wilhelmena (Chick) Chapline. [For sketch of parents see biography of J. B. Chapline. ] The father died when George was a lad of sixteen years, and he remained at home until he became of age, receiving all the advantages for a good ed- ucation. Following his primary course of study, he entered the university at Greenville, where he remained for four years, and also read medicine for some time, but about 1869, he entered upon the reading of law at Greenville, under the super- vision of George Wells, a prominent attorney of that place. In 1871 he took a course of lectures at the University of South Carolina, at Columbia, and in the same year removed to Arkansas, locating at Little Rock. In 1873 Mr. Chapline was ap- pointed by Gov. Baxter to the position of clerk of Lonoke County, upon the organization of the county. In 1875 he was licensed by the supreme court to practice before the bar of this State, and in 1881 was elected to represent Lonoke County,

in the General Assembly of the State. In 1886 he was elected clerk of Lonoke County, and re-elected in 1888. Previous to this Mr. Chapline had turned his pleadings in another direction from the bar, and did not plead in vain, for in 1875 he led to the hymeneal altar Miss Minnie Owens, a native of South Carolina, and a daughter of Dr. John A. Owens, surgeon of Baykin's regiment, who died at Atlanta during the war. To this union have been born four daughters, bright and interesting girls. Mr. Chapline and family worship at the Baptist Church, in which he is clerk. He has held with great credit various positions on the municipal board, and served as recorder and mayor. In politics he is a Democrat, and in societies he is identified with the Knights of Pythias and Knights of Honor.

Isaac S. Chrisman is a son' of Isaac S. and Lucinda (Allen) Chrisman, natives of Virginia and Tennessee, respectively. The former was edn- cated in the "Old Dominion," but when a young man moved to Tennessee, where he married, re- maining for some years in the Middle and West- ern portions of the State. He was a gallant sol- dier in one of the Indian wars, and his death, which occurred in 1837, left his widow with seven chil- dren. Mrs. Chrisman married again, and with the family moved to Arkansas, in 1857, settling in White County. It was not quite like going to a strange country, for one of her older sons, Dr. F. M., had gone to Arkansas in 1853. Her death oc- curred some time after they were settled in their new home. Of the seven children mentioned only two are now living: Ruth and Isaac (the sub- ject of this memoir). The latter came to Arkansas when about seventeen years old, and resided in White County a number of years. When . Civil War was declared he enlisted as private, in 1862, in Col. Dobbins' regiment, and after serving in the ranks a short time was promoted to lieutenant-col- onel. in which capacity he continued till the close of the war, participating in the fights at Helena, Jenkins' Ferry and Little Rock. He was taken prisoner near Helena, in 1864, and held till the final close of the war, passing most of the time at Fort Delaware. After being discharged he re-

turned to White County and resumed his farming operations up to 1876, when he sold out and moved to Lafayette Township, Lonoke County. Mr. Chris- man commenced improving a place in the heavy timber, a hard undertaking, but he has cleared 100 acres, constituting one of the best farms in the country, all finely and carefully cultivated. He has about five acres of choice timothy and red clover, and an orchard of some two acres. A com- fortable house, good barns, etc., combine to show that prosperity reigns. In addition to his farm, Mr. Chrisman owns 220 acres of excellent timber land, from which, it is safe to say, he will realize a large sum of money. In March, 1868, he was united in marriage with Miss Addie Stewart, a native of West Tennessee, and the daughter of R. M. Stewart. To them have been born ten chil- dren, only two living: Ruth (a young lady at- tending school, at Little Rock) and Ava. Mr. Chrisman has served as assessor of White County for two years. Himself and wife are consistent members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. It should have been stated before that he was a soldier in the Mexican War, serving as second sergeant.

Lafayette M. Cobb has become well known here by reason of his connection with the mercantile and other interests of Lafayette Township. He was born in Floyd County, Ga., August 23, 1846, and is the second son of a family of seven children born to Warren and Martha (Hensley) Cobb, na- tives of North Carolina. The former resided in Georgia until the year 1856, when he moved to Arkansas and located in Sevier County, clearing and improving a farm, upon which he remained until his death, in 1857; his wife only survived him about three months. After the death of his father Lafayette moved from Sevier to Saline County, of which he was a resident until 1864. In that year he settled in Pulaski County, there making his home until the locality was formed a part of Lonoke County, when he settled here (in 1873), the farm at that time comprising the heavi- est timber land. However, he has cleared and opened a fine tract of 175 acres. which is in a high state of cultivation. When in his twentieth year,

Mr. Cobb was married to Miss Berlina Phillips, a native of West Tennessee, and to this union two children have been born: James M. and Lula. At present Mr. Cobb is engaged in the mercantile business, in which he is very successful. He car- ries a good stock of goods for a small place, and his manner of doing business insures him the lib- eral patronage of the surrounding country. He also has the honor of being the first, last and only postmaster of this township. In 1874 he was elected justice of the peace, and later resigned, but was re-elected and served twelve years as mag- istrate of this township. Mr. and Mrs. Cobb are members of the Baptist Church, in which the for- mer is clerk. The famous Judge Cobb, of Grant County, is a brother of this subject.

James D. Cobb is a familiar representative of the agricultural affairs of Lafayette Township. He was born in Floyd County, Ga., December 2, 1849, and is the son of Warren D. and Martha (Henslee) Cobb, natives of Georgia, the same State as himself. When a lad of seven years, James removed to Arkansas with his parents (who died about one year later), growing, to manhood in Sa- line and Grant Counties. In March, 1864, he came to what is now Pulaski County, being at that time about fifteen years old, and in 1873 settled in this county on the land where he now resides. This land was then heavily covered with timber, and it was not a very promising locality in which to make a home, but Mr. Cobb has transformed it from its wooded state to that of careful cultivation. He has 135 acres under the plow, which yield ex- cellent crops each year. A good frame house, sub- stantial barns, sheds, etc., show that thrift and in- dustry are among the characteristics of the owner. In Lonoke County, Ark., November 10, 1869, was consummated his marriage to Miss M. Myers, a native of Arkansas, who was born and reared in Pulaski, and a daughter of R. C. Myers. Five children have blessed this union: Samuel C., James F., Carlee C., Jesse and Atticans. Mr. Cobb was once elected, and served eight years as constable of Lafayette Township. He and wife are among the prominent members of the Missionary Baptist Church, aiding all worthy enterprises.

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

Walter F. Crutcher has long been engaged in farming in Lafayette Township, his energy and perseverance having won deserved success. He is the son of R. A. and Susan M. (Vance) Crutcher, and was born in Giles County, Tenn., January 30, 1844. R. A. Crutcher is a Virginian by birth, and when a small boy accompanied his father to Lime- stone County, Ala., where he remained until a young man. Going thence to Tennessee, he was married there, and followed the occupation of farming, for some twelve years, in Giles County. In 1854 he immigrated to Arkansas, and after re- siding for six years in Hempstead County moved to Prairie County; subsequently he located in Lonoke County, but in 1872 settled at Jackson- ville, where he erected a fine residence. In 1877 he went to California, and now resides in Fall- brook, that State. Walter F. came to this State with his parents when a lad of ten years, and re- mained with his father on the farm until his sev- enteenth year, receiving the best advantages for schooling to be had in the common schools of that day. When only seventeen years old he enlisted in the Twenty-fifth. Arkansas Infantry, MeNain's brigade, McCowan's division, Army of the Tennes- see (Confederate), and served as a private until the close of the war. He participated in the fight at Richmond, Ky., Perryville, Ky., and Murfrees- boro, where his experience was a noted one. At this place he was wounded in both thighs by gun- shots, and taken to the hospital at Murfreesboro, afterward being removed to Camp Morton, Indian- apolis, where he was held until the spring of 1865. At Murfreesboro McCowan's division captured for- ty-six pieces of artillery, and it was while charging a battery, that Mr. Crutcher's wounds were re- ! ceived. This two days' fight resulted disastrously to the "Yankees." It was four days after Gen. Bragg retreated from here before the Federal army entered, and he became a prisoner of war. Mr. Crutcher states that he was kindly cared for while held as prisoner at Murfreesboro, though the same can not be said of his treatment at Camp Morton. He is one of those who feel glad that war times are over, and that peace and harmony now prevail. After being exchanged he joined the regiment at

Charlotte, N. C., just before the surrender. After the war Mr. Crutcher returned home, and in March, 1869, was married to Ola T. Fergurson, a native of Tennessee, though reared and educated in Ar- kansas. She was the daughter of W. T. Fergur- son, now deceased. After his marriage Mr. Crutch- er located on a farm in Richwoods Township, pur- chasing the place where he now resides in 1882. There was but very little improvement upon it at the time he took possession, but he has now the satisfaction of knowing that his farm is one of the best in the county, consisting of some 250 acres. A good residence, blacksmith shop and a fine orchard are among the improvements. To Mr. and Mrs. Crutcher have been born a family of" eight children: Daisy (wife of J. M. Cobb), Mabel (now a student at Little Rock), Vance, William (deceased), Katie, Walter F., Nina Blanche and an infant daughter. Mr. Crutcher was a great hunter in his younger days, taking keen delight in the gun and chase. He killed twenty-six wild cats in one season, getting a premium of $5.00. Indeed, he had so many scalps that the court repealed the law after paying his premium. He also killed a large number of bear, and quantities of deer and turkey. Mr. Crutcher, wife and two oldest daughters are members of the Missionary Baptist Church, the former belonging to Lonoke Lodge No. 51, A. F. & A. M. He is a pleasant and agreeable gentleman, well worthy the respect and confidence that is reposed in him.

Elisha N. Davis, a leading farmer and highly- respected citizen of Magness Township, was born in Gates County, N. C., on the 4th of April, 1834, the son of Miles M. and Rebecca (Hayre) Davis. The former was born in 1803; he and a brother and sister being left orphans when quite young, he was apprenticed to a shoemaker to learn the trade, at which he worked until twenty-five years of age, then married and afterward moved on a farm. Going from North Carolina to the western part of Tennessee in 1834, in 1858 he came to this county, where he died in 1866. His father came from Wales at an early day. The mother of Eli- sha Davis was born in North Carolina about 1815 and died in Tennessee in 1844. Her grand-par-

601

LONOKE COUNTY.

ents were born in Ireland and emigrated to Amer- ica at an early day, before the Revolutionary War in which her grandfather took part. She had a family of seven children, the subject of this sketch being the second son. As his parents were in lim- ited circumstances, Elisha Davis was deprived of an education. In January. 1856, he married Mar- garet I. Gregory, who was born in Tennessee in 1837 and died in 1876, leaving eight children, four of whom are still living: Martha E. (wife of Rob- ert Huddlestan), Charles N., Thomas J. and Lil- lie H. Mr. Davis was married a second time to Susan H. Sherman. at Memphis, Tenn., on De- cember 20, 1877. Mrs. Davis was born March 16, 1845. By this marriage he has had one child: Miles Mexico. In 1860 Mr. Davis emigrated to Lonoke County, Ark., where he remained until 1865, then returning to Tennessee. In 1877 he again came to this county and purchased a quarter section of land, thirty acres of which were under cultivation. Since then he has opened up thirty more. In 1862, in May, Mr. Davis enlisted in the Confederate service, and ten days afterward was captured and carried to St. Louis, where he was taken sick and confined in the hospital all summer. He was exchanged in the fall and re- turned to his regiment near Fort Smith, January 10, 1863, remaining in actual service until the fol- lowing year when he made his way home. The bat- tle of Helena, Ark., was the principal engagement in which he took part. Mr. and Mrs. Davis are members of the Missionary Baptist Church. Mr. Davis has always been a strong Democrat, but since the two old parties have consolidated on Wall Street, and the great issue for the consideration of the people is capital against labor, he has decided to vote with the laboring people. He is a man who has ever endeavored to obey the Divine in- junction, to earn bread by the sweat of the brow. He has had many misfortunes in life, the good Lord having seen fit to put the rod to his back. but his encouragement is in the assurance that " Whom the Lord loveth, He chasteneth."

Hardy Scott Dees has built up an excellent reputation as one of the leading merchants of Cabot. A native of Cook County, Tex., he was

born April 23, 1853, to the union of John A. and Margaret (Boyce) Dees. The former's birth oc- curred in North Carolina in 1821, from which State he moved to Mississippi, then to Texas, and subse- quently to Hempstead County, Ark., in 1854, com- ing to Pulaski County in 1868, where he died in 1874. His grandfather was a native of Germany, and emigrated to this country at an early day, taking part in the War of 1812. Mrs. Margaret Dees, the mother of Hardy S., was born in Missis- sippi in 1829, and died in 1865, leaving a family of nine children, three of whom are now living. Hardy S. Dees commenced life as a farmer, in which occupation he was engaged until 1SS3, when he embarked in the mercantile business in Faulkner Gap, Ark. In February, 1889, he opened a store at Cabot, and is at present operating two establish- ments, that at Faulkner Gap, having a stock of about $2,500, and the other about $6,000. His sales aggregate a considerable sum, and by his straightforward manner of doing business and strict and honorable dealing he has attained to a liberal share of public patronage. Mr. Dees was married in 1875 to Miss Mary Pace, who was born in Pulaski County in 1858. By this marriage they have had four children, two of whom survive: Lillie M. and Mary C. Mr. Dees is a member of the Masonic order, and belongs to Frenchman Mount- ain Lodge. He is also a member of the A. O. U. W., and himself and family are connected with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. Mr. Dees also owns thirty-four acres of land in Faulkner County, and some lots in Cabot. He is a strong Democrat, and a prominent citizen of his town- ship.

William P. Dortch is numbered among the prominent and wealthy planters of Lonoke County. A native of Williamson County, Tenn., he was born May 15. 1846, being the son of Willis R. Dortch, originally from North Carolina. The lat- ter moved to Tennessee when a young man. and there met and married Mrs. Elizabeth Stone (nee Wommack), a Virginian by birth. He was a suc- cessful farmer in Tennessee during his life, living most of the time in Williamson County. His death occurred in 1858, and his wife survived him

until 1886, dying at Little Rock at the advanced age of eighty-two years. William P. was one of the younger of three children, the other two being Sallie H. (wife of Dr. Thompson, of Little Rock) and Etta (wife of A. W. Smith, of Little Rock). Coming to Arkansas with his mother when a lad of twelve years, he settled in Pulaski County, and there remained until 1864, in which year he en- listed in the Confederate army (Anderson's bat- talion of Little Rock) and accompanied Price on his raid through Missouri and Kansas. He also participated in the battle of Pilot Knob, Boonville. Independence, Jefferson City, Lexington, West- port, Big Blue and numerous others. He was disbanded in Washington, Hempstead County, at the close of the war, and immediately returned to his home. In the fall of 1862 Mr. Dortch went to Ohio and spent two years at the Miami Univer- sity, where by careful attention to his studies he gained the esteem of the entire faculty, and better than all else, a thorough education. After his college career he returned to Pulaski County and resumed farming, but subsequently, disposing of his interests here, he located on the place where he now resides. He was first married in Ohio to Miss Alice Orr, a daughter of H. R. Orr, of Kentucky. Miss Orr was born and reared in Bourbon County, Ky., receiving an education in a female college at Oxford, Ohio. She died in 1874, leaving two sons: Frederick W. (now at college) and one deceased. In 1885 Mr. Dortch married his present wife, and to this union two sons have been born: Thomas Steele and William P., Jr. Mrs. Dortch was formerly Miss Nettie Steele, daughter of Thomas W. Steele, one of Pulaski County's influ- ential and wealthy citizens. She was born and reared in that county and educated at Salem and St. Louis, and is a lady of culture and refinement whose graces of disposition and manner are an ornament to any position. Mr. Steele presented his daughter (Mrs. Dortch) with a fine plantation of 1,800 acres, of which 600 are in cultivation, and since then they have resided on this place. Mr. Dortch has made numerous improvements, including some thirty buildings, principal among which are a very fine residence, store, barn, black-
