penter's trade. In 1848, thinking to better his condition, he emigrated to the United States; and after working at his trade in New Orleans for five years, he went to St. Louis and to Iowa, where for some time he worked at carpentering and build- ing, and then went to Memphis, Tenn., where he resided working at his trade for nineteen years. Here he formed the acquaintance of Miss Ann M. Meyer, who became his wife July 9, 1854. This lady was a native of Germany, but was reared in Cincinnati, Ohio. To this union have been born two children: Adaline and John August. In 1877 Mr. Koehler moved to Mississippi County, Ark., where he farmed and worked at his trade some three years, and then moved to his present loca- tion on Buffalo Island, which has since been his home. He at first purchased forty acres of un- improved land, to which he has since added until he now owns 184 acres, 100 of it being under a good state of cultivation. He also owns valuable property in Florida and California. Like most of his countrymen, Mr. Koehler is frugal and indus- trious, and has made what he has by his own exer- tions. He is unassuming in his manner, charitable and honest in his thoughts and dealings with his fellow-men, and is one of Craighead County's most substantial citizens. His wife and children are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
W. T. Lane, sheriff and collector of Craighead County, was born in Greene (now Craighead) County, December 30, 1850, and is a son of Thomas J. and Mary (Hughes) Lane, the father a native of Illinois, and the mother of Tennessee. Thomas Lane emigrated with his father, William Lane, to Arkansas about 1840, and located ten miles south of the present site of Jonesboro. They were among the first settlers of this section. William Lane engaged in mercantile business, and in rafting on the St. Francis River, in both of which he was very successful. He never returned from his last trip on the raft, and the cause of his death is un- certain. The body was recovered almost two years later, and was identified by his suspender buckles and raft auger. While a resident of Illinois, he was a colonel of a regiment of State militia, and held a commission as lieutenant under Gen.
Jackson. His son, Thomas J. Lane, was a stock dealer and general trader, owning also a small farm. He died in 1858, and his wife in 1860. Both were estimable and greatly respected citizens. They were the parents of but one child, W. T. Lane, the immediate subject of this sketch, who, left an orphan in infancy, was reared by his grandmother Lane, now in her eighty-sixth year. He received a common-school education, and so far as his means would allow, became engaged in farming and stock dealing. He made his home with his grandmother until 1880, when he was elected sheriff and collector, to which office he has been re-elected each ensuing election. At Sum- merville, Tenn., in December, of 1887, he was united in marriage with Miss Mattie Thurman, a native of that State, and to them has been born one child, now deceased. Mr. Lane possesses ex- traordinary stability of character and perseverance, and being eminently qualified for the position which he holds, fills it satisfactorily to his con- stituents.
W. Stanford Lane is a native of Arkansas, having been born and reared in the State which has always been his home. His father, W. Q. Lane, was born in Tennessee, and moved to this State about 1832. His mother, Caroline (Harris) Lane, was a native of South Carolina. Of this union, seven children were the issue, and the four survivors are all residents of Craighead County. The father was an honest, hard working farmer, who achieved success through earnest endeavor. He was a worthy member of the Masonie order. Stanford Lane is one of the enterprising farmers of Craighead County, and owns 700 acres of land, of which about 100 acres are well improved. By patient toil and industry he has made his farm one of the best in the county. He was united in mar- riage with Elnora Carter, a native of Tennessee. who came with her father to this State in 1850. This union has been blessed with three children: Jarvis Q., Harry B. and Daisy E. Mrs. Lane is a devoted wife and mother, a zealous Christian, and a member of the Methodist Church. Mr. Laue is a stanch Democrat, but prefers rather to serve bis party than receive official favors. It may be truly

B. Frank Lee, a native of Jonesboro Town- ship, has lived in this county over forty-five years. He was born August 5, 1844, and is the son of Dr. Charles Lee, an early settler and pioneer physician of this county, who attended to the physical needs of the citizens of his time until his death.

His half-brother, Thomas Cook, entered eighty acres of land, and at his mother's death it descended to Mr. Lee by inheritance. It is a good farm, with about forty acres of rich bottom land under culti- vation. Mr. Lee was married, October 7, 1869, to Mary, a daughter of Albert and Rebecca Pierce, residents of this township. Of the eleven children born to this union, ten are living. They are: Cal- vin, Susan, Charlie, Nancy, John, Harriet, Re- becca, Eliza, Josie, and a baby boy, Harrison Col- umbus Lee.

Aris R. Lunsford, though but recently a resi- dent of Buffalo Island, has already attained a posi- tion among its leading farmers. He was born in Lauderdale County, Tenn., January 23, 1844, and is the fifth of a family of eight children, five of whom are still living. His father, William Luns- ford, a native of North Carolina, was married in that State, and later moved to Tennessee. There his first wife died, and he married Marcie Norris, the mother of A. R. The father was a prominent farmer and trustee of the county for several years, and remained in Tennessee until his death, April 27, 1884, aged seventy seven years. The mother is still living. Aris R. Lunsford was reared in Tennessee, receiving such education as the county schools of the time afforded. He enlisted in the
-----
Confederate army, in October, 1861, participating in several engagements, and saw much active ser- vice. He was corporal of his company, and was several times captured, paroled and exchanged, being last taken at Ripley, Tenn., where he was held until the close of the war. He then returned to his home, where he remained until 1886. Jan- uary 15, 1863, he was united in marriage with Margaret Brimm, a native of Tennessee, and daughter of Thomas Brimm. Eight children have been the fruits of this union: William G., Sarah M. (wife of William Markham), James R., So- phronia (wife of N. S. Tucker), John S., Mary A., Jason H. and Maggie L. In 1886 Mr. Lunsford sold out in Tennessee and came to Arkansas, locat- ing where he now lives.

In 1876 he was elected justice of the peace in Tennessee, and held that office until he removed to Arkansas, where be has been elected justice of the peace of Buffalo Township. He is president of the district and local Agricultural Wheel. Both he and wife are members of the Methodist Church.
L. A. Lynch, an active, enterprising farmer of Jonesboro, living five miles south of the city, was born in Marshall County, Miss., August 14, 1850. His father was Aden Lynch, a native of Middle Tennessee, who was a mechanic by trade and a farmer by occupation, working at both. In 1855 he moved to Poinsett (now Craighead) County, Ark., and bought a claim of 160 acres, living thereon one year.

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.
Lucian T. McDaniel, merchant and postmaster at Gilkerson, is one of the prominent and enterpris- ing business men of Jonesboro Township. His father, Solomon McDaniel, one of the oldest set- tlers and leading citizens of Craighead County, was born in Wilson County, Tenn., July 12, 1820. His paternal grandfather was John F. McDaniel, a native of Randolph County, N. C., who removed to Tennessee after his marriage to Mary Horn, by whom he had several children. After her death he was again married, to Mrs. Mary (Reaves) Thomas, a native of Tennessee. These two were the parents of seven children, two of whom are now living, . viz. : Mary, widow of William Paultin, and Solo- mon.

He lo- cated several miles below the old farm, and after a few years removed to Missouri, where he died. His father, Abraham McDaniel (the paternal great- grandfather of the subject of this sketch), fought through the Revolutionary War, and John F. was almost old enough to be mustered into service. Solomon McDaniel was a boy when he came to this county, and has lived on his present farm thirty- one years. He has been engaged principally in farming, but is also a blacksmith and gunsmith. He has a fine farm of 170 acres about five miles south of Jonesboro, and 100 acres are in a splendid state of cultivation.
