and all public enterprises. He is now a cripple, being paralyzed in the right hip and leg, but is making a good support by his own exertion. Him- self and his brother are the only surviving members of a family of nine children.

N. B. Wishon is a prosperous real estate dealer and collecting agent at Newport, Ark., and was born in Phelps County, Mo., on the 12th of September, 1848, and is a son of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Singleton) Wishon, the former a native of North Carolina, and the latter of Kentucky. Their marriage took place in the latter State, and they afterward moved to St. Louis, Mo., when the city contained less than 10,000 inhabitants (in 1829). Here Mr. Wishon remained for about ten years, being an employé of the Wiggins Ferry Company, and acted in the capacity of engineer. In 1839 he located near Rolla, Mo., and opened a very fine farm of about 1,500 acres, and here he and his wife resided until their deaths. N. B. Wishon remained on this farm until nineteen years of age, and in 1867 came to Arkansas and began clerking in a store in Jacksonport, continuing an employe of Holloway & Co., at a very low salary, until 1871. He then formed a partnership with his brothers, Frank and W. C., and the firm became known as Wishon Bros., they conducting a general merchan- dising establishment in Jacksonport. In 1873 they opened up a branch store at Newport, which was the first business house in the place, and was a frame structure, and this together with two cheap box houses were located in the woods. They continued at this point until 1883, then sell- ing out to E. L. Watson & Son. Mr. Wishon then set to work to build up the town and put up a sub- stantial brick block and several residence buildings, but for the past few years he has given his atten- tion almost entirely to the real estate and collec- tion business. The brothers at one time owned a fifth interest in the original town site. They own eight brick business houses, and considerable im- proved residence property, and unimproved town lots and several fine farms in a high state of culti- vation, together with several hundred acres of fine timbered and wild lands in the county. He has held several local offices, and he and wife, whom

he married in 1871, and whose maiden name was Amelia Wallace, are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and are the parents of two children: Lena and Earl H.

W. C. Wishon, agent of the Batesville & Brink- ley Railroad, and a popular resident of Newport, was born in Phelps County, Mo., in February, 1851, and is a son of Benjamin and Elizabeth (Singleton) Wishon. He was reared and remained in Phelps County until attaining his twenty-second year, and up to nineteen years of age lived on the home farm, and attended the schools of his native place. At nineteen years of age he was offered and accepted a position in one of the business houses at Rolla, Mo., where he remained for two years, winning the confidence and esteem of his employers by per- forming his duties in a satisfactory manner. In 1871 he moved to Jacksonport, Ark., and entered into commercial life with his brother, N. B. Wishon, continuing at that city until 1873, when they both removed to Newport, where they were among the first and most enterprising business men of that town, and helped to build considerable of the property. In 1880 W. C. was engaged by the Southern Express Company as express agent, and the business of the brothers was sold in February, 1882. He remained with that company until 1886, when the Batesville & Brinkley Railroad opened up its line, and he was engaged as their agent at New- port, where he has been ever since, building up a reputation for being one of the best agents on the line. In 1877 he was married to Miss Rina Wal- lace, a pleasant and attractive lady, who has made his home one of the brightest in Newport. Mr. Wishon is a member of the Masonic fraternity and the Royal Arcanum. He is a prominent man in social and business circles at Jacksonport as well as Newport, of which latter city he is the pioneer.

A. Wiysel, lumber manufacturer. Mr. Wiysel was born and reared among the industries of a great manufacturing place, his birth occurring in Cambria County, Penn., on the 24th of August, 1824. He is a son of Joseph and Susanna (Weis- inger) Wiysel, of the same county and State, but the great-grandfather was a native of Germany, who emigrated to this country at an early period

and settled in Pennsylvania, afterward fighting in the War of the Revolution. The parents of A. Wiysel emigrated to Wabash County, Ind., some years after their marriage, where the father died during the Civil War, while the mother still sur- vives him and is living in Indiana. They were the parents of six children, of whom four are yet living, A. Wiysel being the oldest. He was reared and spent his younger days in Pennsylvania, where he also received the greater part of his education, and afterwards moved to Wabash County, Ind. From there he went to Adair County, Mo., and remained until 1859, when he came to Jackson- port and was employed in teaming. During the war he was detailed as engineer of a large flouring mill on the White River, and after that event he embarked in saw-milling and lumber manufactur- ing, a business that he has fostered and built up to be one of the most successful in that section. He has various markets for his products, employs a large number of men, and turns out some of the best material to be found anywhere, and has the honor of being one of the pioneer mill men of Jackson County. Mr. Wiysel was married in 1848 to Miss Susanna Stemman, by whom he has had five children, two of them yet living: Samuel and Charles. He is a member of the Lutheran Church, and one of the representative citizens of his county, taking an active interest in its promo- tion and welfare.

William D. Yarbrough a merchant, of New- port, Ark., was born November 28, 1856, in Nebo, Hopkins County, Ky. His parents were Lewis and Lucy (Davis) Yarbrough, both natives of Kentucky. William D. received a fair educa- tion in the English branches, in the public schools of his native State, and commenced business for himself in 1881, securing a position in the com- mercial house of Mr. H. V. Ames, of Newport, Ark., who carried a general line of merchandise, where he remained until 1885, when he paid a visit to his home in Kentucky, and while there, on the 10th of February, 1886, married Miss Katie Trigg, of Hopkins County. On the 25th of Feb- ruary they returned to Arkansas and he entered the employ of Mr. Johnson, of the firm of Ames & Johnson, his former employers. He re- mained with them until the latter part of the year, when he purchased a full line of groceries, and on January 1, 1887, opened an establishment for him- self, carrying a well selected line of staple and fancy groceries, and the prediction is, that Mr. Yarbrough will be one of the leading business men of the community. Mr. Yarbrough is a member in good standing, of the Newport Lodge. His wife died September 25, 1887, and was buried in Rose Creek Cemetery, in her native county. On August 25, 1889, Mr. Yarbrough married Miss Saidie Roberon, a native of Ohio, an estimable young lady, and a general favorite.

There is a spot of earth supremely blest, A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest, Where man, creation's tyrant, casts aside His sword and sceptre, pageantry and pride. That spot's thy home .- Montgomery.

THE exact time and place of the making of the first set- tlement of the territory now composing Izard County is uncertain. It is evident, however, that immigration must have commenced very soon after the beginning of the present century, points of location being, in general, along White and Strawberry Rivers. Among the early settlers in the vicinity of the former stream were Daniel Hively, Elbert and Henry Benbrook, the family of the father of William and Hill Dillard, the Jefferys, Moses Bishop, the Harrises and George and James Partee. Daniel Jeffery settled below Mount Olive, Jehoida, his brother, a mile above, and James, another brother, at or near the mouth of Piney Creek. Of the Harrises there were four brothers: Augustus, Henry, James and Richard. Augustus located on the east side of the river, in (the present) Izard County, the others on the opposite side, now Stone County. Daniel

Hively settled at the mouth of Piney Creek, and there built a water-power grist-mill very early. Among the first to locate on Strawberry River were the Simpsons, Billingsleys and Finleys, John Gray taking up his residence on Rocky Bayou. and James Wren at Lunenburg. Other very early comers to the county were Ambrose, Harvey, Will- iam and James Creswell.

Later came the Lancasters, the Walkers, the Watkinses, Richard, Robert and William Powell, Thomas Richardson, Samuel Bingham, William and James Woods, Col. Thomas Black, the Ar- ; nolds, Jesse Hinkle, the Robinsons and many others. Both the early and subsequent settlers of the county principally came from Tennessee. A few were from Georgia, and some other Southern States. but few, if any, from Northern States. The early settlers here suffered in common with all who moved so far back from the Mississippi the many privations of frontier life. It was not long, however, until boats came up White River and fur- nished such provisions as could not be produced at home. The people of Izard County are intelli- gent, kind and hospitable. Society now is all that could be desired, and churches are numerous in all

HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

settled portions. Subsequent pages contain more detailed mention of the county's pioneers and prominent citizens.

Court affairs, of course, early occupied atten- tion. The county court was established in 1829, when Arkansas was a territory. Prior to that date the county business had all been transacted in the circuit court. This court meets on the first Mon- days of January, April, July and October, in each year. The probate court meets on the third Mon- days of March, June, September and December.

The Izard circuit court convenes on the second Monday in April and October, in each year. It belongs to the Fourteenth judicial circuit, composed of the counties of Izard, Boone, Baxter, Marion, Fulton, Searcy and Newton, of which R. H. Powell, of Melbourne, is the judge.

The legal bar of Izard County is composed of - the following named attorneys: Ransom Gulley, John H. Woods, J. B. Baker, F. M. Hanley, Moreau Ashley, S. W. Woods, and E. B. Brad- shaw. Judge Powell, when not on the bench, is also a member of the bar.

Aside from the war period, there has never been but one or two murders committed within the county, as it is now composed, and not a legal exe- cution of a criminal has occurred here. Other crimes have been committed frequently.

At the approach of the Civil War, when the question of secession was first discussed, a majority of the people of Izard County seemed opposed to it, but when actual hostilities commenced, all but a few were naturally in full sympathy with the Southern cause, and soon thereafter favored the secession of the State. Of the several companies of soldiery raised within the county for the Con- federate army, one, gathered by Capt. Deason, served in the Seventh Arkansas Regiment; four, commanded, respectively, by Capts. C. C. Elkins, T. N. Smith, Hugh A. Barnett and T. J. Mason, became a part of the Ninth Arkansas Regiment; two, commanded, respectively, by Capts. C. Cook and Richard Powell, served in Col. Freeman's regiment of cavalry; three, commanded, respect- ively, by Capts. T. M. Gibson, R. C. Matthews and Samuel Taylor, formed a part of Col. Shaler's

regiment. A portion of a company was raised by Capt. John H. Dye, the other part being raised in Independence County, and a part of another was raised by Capt. James Huddleston, the other being recruited in what is now Sharp County. Some in- dividuals went out and joined companies raised in adjoining counties. Thus ten companies, besides the fractions of other companies, were furnished by the county for the Confederate army.

Early in the war period, most of the Union men here removed to Rolla, Mo., and were there organized into a company by Capt. L. D. Toney, and served in the Federal army. All the able bodied men of the county, and many boys in their "teens," joined the armies. Only the old and feeble were left with the women and children. There was no fighting or bushwhacking among the citizens. The county, however, was over-run by scouting parties from the contending armies, and while but little burning was done, all stock and provisions that could be found were seized and car- ried away, thus leaving the citizens in great want for food. Parties of women, each accompanied by an old man, frequently hauled cotton inside of the Federal lines and exchanged it for salt and other necessities. Salt was also obtained by extracting it from the earth under old smoke houses. Meat was concealed from the scouting parties by hiding it in straw beds, in the rocks and under brush heaps. Grain was also hid in peculiar places. J. B. Hunt, the postmaster at Melbourne, states that he saved his corn by shelling it and hiding it in the hollow walls of his house, between the weather- boarding and the inside-boarding, and had a hole at the bottom through which he drew it out on going to the mill. Others, no doubt, saved their grain in a similar way.

The county of Izard was organized in accord- ance with an act of the legislature of the Territory of Arkansas, approved October 17, 1825. It was named in honor of George Izard, who was the gov- ernor of the Territory, and contained territory since cut off in the formation of Fulton, Baxter and Stone Counties. Various acts have been passed since its formation, by which it has been created as at present.

IZARD COUNTY.

The original county seat was located on White River, at the mouth of Big North Fork, now in Baxter County. Soon after it was moved to Athens, on White River, at the mouth of Piney Creek, and from there, about the year 1844, to Mount Olive, in Section 31, Township 16 north, Range 10 west, another point on White River. Here it remained until May 15, 1875, when it was taken to its present site at Melbourne. The first court-house erected at the original site of the county seat was a hewed log cabin. The second was a small frame structure, built at Athens, and the third was also a frame erected at Mount Olive. The court-house at Melbourne was built in 1878. but on the 11th of April, 1889, it was consumed by fire, with all the public records and papers, sup- posed to have been of incendiary origin, as the fire occurred in the morning before daylight. The question of removing the county seat to some other point is now being agitated, but the probability is that it will remain at its present location.

The only public building the county possesses is the jail and jailer's residence combined, at Mel- bourne. This is a wooden building, the jail proper being frame on the outside, with a wall of squared timbers on the inside. The county owns a poor farm, but it has never been improved or made available for the support of the paupers. The lat- ter are let out on contract for their support, to the lowest responsible bidder.

The following is a list of the names of the 'county officers of Izard County, and the dates of their terms of service from the organization of the county to the present time, as compiled from the report of the secretary of State:
