March 27, 1851; Thomas D., born March 8, 1853; Rufus M., born February 15, 1856, and Isham J., born January 22, 1859, and died October 19, 1877. Mr. Mock was born on the 29th of April, 1815, and died September 20, 1874: his wife was born on the 16th of October, 1817, and died April 5, 1879.

S. H. Parker is an extensive farmer and stock- man of Randolph County, Ark., and was born in Tennessee. April 13, 1845, being a son of C. G. and Mary (Burrow) Parker. whose native State was Tennessee. After farming in that State until 1849, he came to Arkansas and settled on Current River, where he remained two years, and in 1852 came to the farm on which our subject is now residing. Here he improved the same, and was engaged in farming and stock raising and trading until his death in 1874, being followed by his widow three years later. Their marriage took place in 1822, and they reared a family of ten children, the fol- lowing being now alive: Harriett C., wife of W. C. Thompson; Mary E., wife of Ben Holland; Charles G .; Josephine, wife of Wilbur Abbott, and S. H. The latter received no advantages for schooling in his youthful days, owing to the scar- city of schools and his father's early immigration to this State. He left the home farm to join the Confederate army in 1864, and served with Price on his raid through Missouri, taking an active part in the battles of Ironton and Pilot Knob, also In- dependence, Little Blue and numerous skirmishes. He surrendered at Jacksonport, Ark., in June, 1865, returned home and commenced farming for himself on eighty acres of land given him by his father. He now owns 260 acres and has 100 acres under cultivation on which are good buildings, fences, etc. He does not depend alone on corn and cotton for his income, but makes a specialty of raising horses, mules, cattle, hogs and sheep. In 1868 he wedded Emily Wilson, of this county, and by her is the father of three children living: Jo- seph T., born November 19, 1872; John C., born December 23, 1874, and James A., born September 6, 1877. Two children died in infancy, and the mother's demise occurred January 8, 1880, her
death being deeply mourned by her family and a large circle of friends. Mrs. Amanda Halbrook, of Kentucky, became Mr. Parker's second wife, Janu- ary 16, 1881, and to them were born three children. Orlie, born January 8, 1882, and Celestia H., born October 17. 1887, being the only ones living. Mrs. Parker was the widow of Freeman Halbrook. of Kentucky, by whom she bore a family of five children: Prentice, living in Kansas: Nannie, wife of Richard Abbott, of this county; Richard, of Colorado, and Emma, at home; the other child died. Mrs. Parker's parents, Edmund and Nancy A. (Neely) Mitchener, were Kentuckians, and reared a family of eleven children, of whom the following are living: William, of Missouri; Martha, wife of Robert Kidd; John, a resident of Missouri; Amanda, and Georgia, wife of John Harper. Mrs. Parker is a member of the Methodist Epis- copal Church; Mr. Parker is a Democrat.
Charles W. Polk. Among the husbandmen of Randolph County, Ark., who have made for them- selves an honorable name by a long term of years of steady and successful farming and upright citi- zenship is Mr. Polk, whose birth occurred in Ten- nessee in 1842. His parents, Michael and Mary (Duckworth) Polk, were born in North Carolina and Tennessee, respectively, the former being re- lated to ex-President Polk. They reared a fam- ily of eight children, six of whom are living: C. W., Ferraby (wife of James Wells), Rebecca (wife of Harrison Matthews), Polk, Ella (wife of Richard Polk, of Missouri) and Harvey (residing in Searcy County). Mr. Polk died in 1873, at the age of forty-one years, and his wife in 1865, aged thirty-six. They were members of the United Presbyterian Church; he was a member of the A. F. & A. M., and was a Republican in his polit- ical views. C. W. Polk received somewhat meager educational advantages in his youth, and in 1879 came to Arkansas and located in Clay County. where he at once commenced farming on 120 acres of land which he had purchased some time before. The farm is well improved with good buildings of all kinds, and is supplied with the necessary stock for successfully conducting its management. His first marriage took place in 1860, it being with Miss

Effie Higgins, of Tennessee, but she died in 1863, moted to the position of pilot, in which capacity followed by her only child, whose death occurred he served for many years. During the Civil War, he rendered valuable aid, and was concerned in the taking of Island No. 10. He was on the Cumber- land and Ohio Rivers from Nashville, to Tennessee, as mate. After the war, he resided at different times in Hickman, Ky., and Belmont, Mo .. and was engaged in farming until 1876, when he en- gaged in railroading. After some time, he gave up this work, and located at Corning, Ark., and two years later went to Texas. After his return to Arkansas, he located at Okean, where he has since been occupied in the timber business. From 1882 to 1887, he was a general merchant in the town of Okean, and at the latter date engaged in the drug business in connection with farming. He is still conducting these enterprises, and as he is thoroughly posted in the details of each, he is meeting with excellent success. He is a Democrat in politics, and has served eight years at different times as postmaster of Okean. in infancy. After living a widower for seven years Mr. Polk was married in 1870 to Miss Martha Al- exander, of Hardin County, Tenn., by whom he has had a family of six children, three of whom are now living: Emmer (wife of Joseph Cox), and Joseph and E. D. (at home). Mr. Polk was so unfortunate as to lose his second wife by death in March, 1884, and three years since he es- poused Mrs. Mary Eldridge, who only survived until the following year. His next marriage was with Mrs. Nancy Jane Lewis, who had borne her first husband two children: John and Bertie. Mr. Lewis died in 1885. He was a communicant in the Baptist Church, and was a leading member of the A. F. & A. M. In 1863 Mr. Polk joined the Union army, and was a faithful defender of the stars and stripes until the close of the war, being a member of Company C, Second Tennessee Mounted Infan- try. He was at Clifton, Johnsonville, Lexington, Nashville and in numerous skirmishes. After re- turning home he engaged in the dry goods business, but next year he began farming, which occupation he has continued up to the present time. He and wife are members of the United Brethren Church and he is a warm Republican, politically, and in all matters tending to benefit his county he is one of the leaders. He is in every respect a self-made man, : and is a prosperous agriculturist.
Newton J. Proctor is a substantial resident of the county, and is now living in the town of Okean. He was born in Crittenden County, Ky., Septem- ber 16, 1836, and is a son of Greenberry and Lu- cinda (Reese) Proctor, both of whom were also born in Crittenden County, Ky., and there the father died while still in the prime of life, in 1838. He was a successful farmer, and in politics was a Whig. His wife died in 1868, at the age of sixty- four years, she having been an earnest member of the Baptist Church for many years. Newton J. Proctor, the fifth of their six children, was edu- cated in the common schools near his Kentucky home. At the early age of fourteen years, he be- gan life on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and after several years of faithful service was pro-
Hon. James H. Purkins has for thirty-two years been a resident of Randolph County, Ark., and during his long residence here has become well known, and has won the respect of all with whom he has come in contact. He possesses a fine educa- tion and excellent natural abilities, and is deserv- ing of a more extended sketch than the nature of this work will permit; suffice it to say that his life has been a success both in material affairs and in the esteem which has been accorded him among those with whom he has so long made his home. He was born, reared and educated in Essex County, Va., the former event taking place in the year 1814 From early boyhood he has been familiar with farm life, and as his father was a prosperous merchant he spent much of his time in the store. He was married at the age of twenty-two years to Miss Clementina Singleton, and to their marriage twelve children have been born, three of whom are now living: Eliza, wife of Dr. Esselman; Clement W. and Rena S. After residing in his native State and following the occupation of merchandising until 1856, Mr. Purkins removed to Missouri. and settled the following year in Randolph County. Ark. He entered a tract of land on Current River

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.
which he tilled until 1862, when he entered the Confederate army, but was sent home after a few months by Gens. Vandorn and Price as a recruit- ing officer, and held the position of captain. In 1860 he had been elected to the State legislature, and in 1862 he was re-elected and served out his time. In 1866 he was elected senator from Ran- dolph and Greene Counties, and was serving his constituents while the senate was in session in the State house at Little Rock in 1867, when Gen. Ord with Federal troops was ordered by Congress to disperse the General Assembly of Arkansas. He refused afterward to become a candidate for office, but in 1877 he was elected to the office of county judge. After the war he clerked for various mer- chants in Pocahontas, and now owns about thirty- five acres near the town, which he rents out. The most of his children died in childhood, and within one week of each other, of pneumonia. One son, James W. by name, was a Confederate soldier from the time he was fifteen years of age, but was killed at Glasgow, Mo., at the age of eighteen years. Mr. Purkins is a son of W. H. and Ann (Howerton) Pur- kins, who were Virginians, where they were reared and married, and became the parents of six chil- dren, of whom Hon. James H. is the only one now living. The father was a merchant and farmer by occupation, and from the time he was twenty-one years of age until his death at the age of sixty- seven years he held office under the State. He was a captain in the War of 1812, and while away from home, serving his country, his son, James H., was born, and he did not see him until he was nearly one year old. His wife died about the same age as himself. The grandfather, Gideon Purkins, and his father were both Virginians, former of whom was a soldier in the War of 1812 and died at a very old age. The great-great-grandfather Purkins was a native of England, and came to America in Co- lonial times. The maternal grandfather was of Scotch descent, and was born in Essex County, Va. He was a captain in the Revolutionary War, being on the side of the Colonists, and until the day of his death at the age of ninety-eight years kept his uniform. Mr. Purkins, the subject of this sketch, is a member of the Baptist Church, is a Democrat

in his political views, and belongs to the Chapter and Blue Lodge in the A. F. & A. M. His first wife died in 1868, and he afterward espoused Miss Ava Payne, who died after having borne one child, James E. His third wife, who was a widow, died two years after her marriage with Mr. Purkins.
J. T. Redwine is a prosperous and successful merchant at Supply postoffice, Little Black Town- ship, this county, and has been in business here since 1878. He first saw the light of day in the "Old North State" in 1840, his parents, Travis and Sally Ann (Harrison) Redwine, being also na- tives of that State, where they were reared and also married, the latter event being in 1835. Ten years later they concluded they could better their fortunes by emigrating westward, and they accord- ingly pitched their tent on Blue Grass soil, where they reared a family of five children to maturity, and lost one child in infancy: W. P. was born in 1836, lived to be seventeen years of age: Benia- min F., died September 9, 1862, his birth having occurred May 7, 1838; J. T .; Sallie M. (deceased): James D. (also deceased, his family being resi- dents of this county), and L. A., who resides in Randolph County. The mother of these children died in the year 1850, she having been a daughter of Turner and Sally (Daniels) Harrison, the father being related to President Harrison's family. He was a farmer by occupation, and tilled the soil in the Blue-Grass State, from 1845 until his death. In 1851, Mr. Redwine took for his second wife Mar- : garet Harrison, a daughter of Jesse Harrison, but five years later he was called upon to mourn her death, she having borne him three children, two of whom are living: George M., a resident of this county, and Jacob L., who resides in Conway County. Seven children were born to his mar- riage with Miss Elizabeth Ogden, of Kentucky. six of whom are now living, their names being as follows: Lucinda A., wife of D. H. Hawkins. Jr., of this county; Mary L. E., wife of D. C. Fowler; Thomas J., Isaac D, Nancy A., wife of Samuel Stout, and Frances. Mr. Redwine was so unfort- unate as to lose his third wife in 1873, and he then united his fortunes with Mrs. Martha (Pierce) Spence, who bore one child, named Lucien R.

J. T. Redwine, the gentleman whose name heads this sketch, began life for himself at the age of twenty-one, and in 1861 espoused the cause of the Confederacy by becoming a member of Company G, Fifteenth Regiment, Arkansas Infantry, com- manded by Col. Pat. Claiborne. He served until the final surrender, and was an active participant in the battles of Shiloh, Murfreesboro, Liberty Gap, Richmond, Ky., Perryville and Chickamauga. He was wounded at Chickamauga, and was granted a furlough until he was able to attend to hospital duties, to which he had been detailed. He was paroled at Macon, Ga., in 1865, and reached home in August of that year. He found employment in Cape Girardeau County, Mo., which received his attention until December of that year, when he came home and wedded Miss Sarah A. Melton, March 18, 1866. He was engaged in farming ex- clusively until 1878, but since that time has given much of his attention to merchandising. His stock of goods amounts to about $4,000, and his annual sales reach the sum of $10,000. He also has a general store in Ripley County, Mo., which nets him an annual income of about $800. His farm embraces 133 acres, and he owns some good dwelling houses, and a store-house in Doniphan. He is a member of the A. F. & A. M., and in his political views is a Democrat. He and wife are the parents of four children: Robert L., born De- cember 7, 1866; Satira A., born October 15, 1871, the wife of John C. Phipps, of this county; James T., who was born February 29, 1876, and Sally M., born May 25, 1882. Mrs. Redwine is a daughter of Johu and Martha (Swain) Melton, to whose union the following family were born: Josephine (Meek); Satira, the deceased wife of L. F. John- son; Lafayette F .; Sarah A. (Mrs. Redwine); Rosetta, the widowed wife of Pharaoh Aton; El- setta, the deceased wife of Jasper Swin. Mrs. Redwine was born February 24, 1842. Neither J. T. Redwine nor his wife (Sarah A. ) inherited any part of their present property; they began a life partnership with limited means, having neither house nor land, and what they now have has been gained by industry, which is the found ation of almost all of life's successful voyages.
J. M. Redwine, M. D. The short sketch that here appears is that of one of the reliable and de- servedly successful physicians of Randolph Coun- ty, whose experience has proven him to be well qualified for the position he has chosen. He was born in Marshall County, Ky., March 30, 1852, his parents, Jacob and Mary (Thomasson) Red- wine, having been born in North Carolina and Ten- nessee, respectively. They both removed to Ken- tucky prior to their marriage, and there united their fortunes in the year 1847, becoming the par- ents of eleven children, eight being now alive: W. C., who resides in Clay County, Ark. ; Dr. H. C., also a resident of Clay County, where he is a practicing physician and merchant; Mattie E., a teacher of this county; Jennie L., wife of M. L. Gilbert, of Dade City, Fla. ; Jacob, Jr., who lives in Kentucky; Amanda J., wife of Charles Dish- man, of Kansas, and Hiram G., now in a law school in the East. Jacob Redwine has always followed the occupation of farming and merchandising, and is now residing in Kentucky. He was in the Union army during the late war, and served in Company B, of the Fifteenth Kentucky Cavalry, as a private, but was discharged at the end of twelve months, his term of enlistment having ex- pired. The principal engagement in which he took part was at Spring Creek. near Lexington. Tenn., being under Col. Henry. Since the war he has resided on his farm in Kentucky, and is now fairly well-to-do. He votes the Republican ticket. Our subject, Dr. J. M. Redwine. received fairly good advantages for acquiring an education. being an attendant of the common schools of Ken- tucky. He first engaged in teaching school and clerking in a dry goods store, and during this time his leisure moments were given to the study of medicine, which profession had always had a fas- cination for him. After attending medical lectures he entered upon the practice of that profession in Kentucky, in 1876, and followed it there and in Tennessee two years. From 1878 to 1881. he practiced in Randolph County, Ark., and from that time until 1884 he was a practitioner of Ben- ton County. He has since resided in this county. and has acquired a large and profitable practice.

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.
and in his journeys to alleviate the sufferings of the sick, the sunshine of his disposition, as well as his medical skill, is brought to bear upon his pa- tients, and the result is very satisfactory. He has a fertile little farm of forty acres, and in connec- tion with his practice was engaged in farming and merchandising until within the last few years. He is a Republican politically, and is a member of the A. F. & A. M. He was married, October 28, 1879, to Miss Malena E., a daughter of John and Per- melia E. (Mosely) Mabry, who became the parents of twelve children, six now living: Robert M., Mattie T. (Greer), Novella (Greer), William D., John, and Malena E. (Mrs. Redwine), the latter born on Blue-Grass soil. Dr. and Mrs. Redwine ; have become the parents of two children: Ethel, born September 1, 1884, and Edith, born Septem- ber 17, 1887.
Dennis W. Reynolds, merchant, Reyno. For many years Mr. Reynolds has been a prominent resident of Randolph County, and has enjoyed the reputation of being an intelligent and honorable business man. He possesses that shrewd busi- ness tact and energy which are characteristic of people of Illinois birth, for he was born in Jack- son County, of that State, in 1840, being a son of James M. and Elizabeth Reynolds, the former of whom removed from the State of North Caro- lina to Illinois, while it was a Territory. The father was a native of North Carolina, and the mother of Jackson County, Ill. He was a farmer and hunter by occupation; was a participant in the War of 1812, and two years after his wife's death, which occurred in 1857, he married Minerva Foster. He was sheriff of Jackson County for four years, and also held a number of minor offices in Arkan. sas. He was noted for his morality and charity, and his death which occurred in 1884, at the age of seventy years, was a severe loss to the community in which he resided. Dennis W. Reynolds is self- educated, and when only seventeen years of age he entered mercantile life at Cherokee Bay, which enterprise received his attention for three years, or until the war broke out. On the 11th of March, 1862, he dropped all his work to enlist in the J. H. Richardson, ex-county judge and farmer Seventh Missouri Infantry, Capt. A. G. Kelsey's ; of Little Black Township, was born in the State
company, as a private, and was afterward pro- moted to the rank of sergeant and then to captain, which position he held until hostilities ceased. He was at Greenville, Mo., Little Rock, and was with Price on his raid through Missouri. After being paroled he returned to his home in this county, and was one of the successful husband- men of the county until 1875, when he established his present mercantile business at Corning, Clay County, Ark., and since 1878 has been at Reyno. Mr. Reynolds possesses a thorough knowledge of the business in which he is engaged, and has the necessary requisites for successfully conducting it. He also manages his farm and gives considerable attention to the propagation of stock; and it may be truly said that in every enterprise in which he has been interested, and to which he has given his attention, his labors have been followed with excel- lent results. He has always taken a deep interest in the politics of the county, and although not an : unreasonable partisan he has always been a Demo- crat in his political views. He is a Master Mason, and he and his wife, whose maiden name was Mattie J. Wilkis, are earnest and consistent members of the Baptist Church. He was first married in 1861, to Miss Nancy Luttrell, but her death oc- curred the following year at the age of eighteen years. She left one son, James, who died in 1888, aged twenty-six years. His second wife was the widow of A. G. Kelsey, and had formerly been Miss Mary Ellis. She was born on Blue-Grass soil, and died in 1868, having borne two children: Madison A. and Elizabeth A. To him and his present wife have been born the following family: Leoa, Ervin and Pearl. Three children died in infancy. Mrs. Reynolds conducts a millinery es- tablishment in her own store, and her bonnets and hats are always trimmed in excellent taste and the latest style. Mr. Reynolds was the first to clear the land and build where the town of Reyno now stands, which place, by the way, was named in his honor. He erected the first dwelling house and hotel, and is now doing business in the first business house in the town.
