HISTORY OF ARKANSAS.

the 19th of November, 1872. Mr. Winkle pos- sesses an exceedingly fertile farm of 160 acres, of which eighty acres are under cultivation, and much of his attention is given to raising a good grade of mules and other stock. He has attained a high rank in the I. O. O. F., and in every en- terprise in which he engages he is progressive and energetic, and consequently is successful as a rule. He and wife belong to the Cumberland Presby- terian Church.
James B. Woods, farmer, Melbourne, Ark. Among the prominent young farmers of Izard County appears the name of James B. Woods, who, like many others of the representative men of the county, is a native of Bedford Coun- ty, Tenn. His parents, John and Lucinda (Rich- ardson) Woods, are natives of the same State. John Woods came to Arkansas in 1854, settling in Izard County, and bought a farm near Mel- bourne, or rather near the present site of Mel- bourne, where he resided until his death in 1860. He was in his twenty-ninth year at that time, and was a member of the Christian Church. He had always taken an active interest in politics. In 1858 he had been elected sheriff of the county, and had just retired from office at the time of his death. The mother died in 1879, at the age of forty-eight years. To their union were born six children, four now living: Margaret, wife of Alex. L. Sublett; James B., Mary, wife of W. L. Stroud; Sarah J. (deceased), wife of Joseph E. Freeman; Thomas R. (deceased), and Martha C., wife of Daniel S. Freeman. James B. Woods was born in February, 1852, and was reared to agricultural pursuits in this county. He received a good, prac- tical education in the subscription and free schools of Arkansas, and when twenty-one years of age started out to fight life's battles for himself. He first tilled the soil on his mother's farm, but two years later bought a house in Melbourne, moved there, but rented land and still cultivated the soil. In connection with this he also teamed and fol- lowed the carpenter's trade for two years, after which he sold out and bought his present property. This consists of 151 acres. with about forty or fifty acres cleared, and with good buildings, etc.

He was married, in 1874, to Miss Fannie Dixon, daughter of W. C. and Eliza (Clarada) Dixon, na- tives of Tennessee. To this marriage have been born five children: Ora A., Lillian A., Owen D., Robert L. and Margaret. James B. Woods is among the prosperous young farmers of the county and deserves especial credit for the start he has made in life. He is public-spirited and takes an active interest in educational matters as well as all other public enterprises. He and wife are both members of the Christian Church. In politics he casts his vote -with the Democratic party. Socially he is a member of the Masonic fraternity.
S. H. Wren is the oldest living pioneer of Izard County, and was born in Warren County, Ky., (near Bowling Green) in 1824, and at the age of six years was brought by his parents, James and Elizabeth (Hightower) Wren, to Izard County. James Wren was born in North Carolina, and in 1819 moved to Kentucky, and settled in Warren County, where he engaged in farming, and lived until the above mentioned date, at which date he located in Arkansas, near Lunenburg, and gave his attention to farming. He served as justice of the peace of the county several terms, and held the office of county judge from 1842 to 1847, having no opponents during this time. He was also elected to the office of county trustee, to distribute the international and school fund for the purpose of improving the public roads, there being three candidates, and Mr. Wren received every vote polled in the county with the exception of one -- the only case of the kind on the county records. He was popular with all, and justly so, for he was ever very public-spirited, and his efforts in aiding in the improvement of the county will al- ways be highly appreciated. His death, which occurred on the 28th of April, 1888, at the age of ninety-seven years and twenty-eight days, was much regretted by all who knew him. He had been a member of the Missionary Baptist Church from the time he was thirty two years of age until his death, and in his political views was a Jeffer- sonian Democrat, and during the war a leading Secessionist. His wife, who was born in the " Pal- metto State," died on the 6th of June, 1883, at

the age of eighty-eight years. Their son, S. H. Wren, began life for himself at the age of twenty years. first as a farmer, and October 6, 1845, he moved to the Platte Purchase, in Missouri, remain- ing there about one year. Upon his return to Izard County, Ark., he was engaged in rafting lumber for two years. In 1861 he was living in Fulton County, Ark., and was a candidate on the Union ticket for a seat in the convention opposed to secession, and was victorious over his opponent, but the county clerk gave the certificate of election to the defeated candidate. The race was made three times, and each time Mr. Wren secured the greatest number of votes, but before the case was finally settled the State seceded. Owing to the views held by Mr. Wren in regard to secession, he was arrested and tried for treason to the Confed- erate government, the trial being held at Little Rock, before Judge Ringo, but he was acquitted after they had examined two prosecuting witnesses. He then returned home, in February, 1862, and remained here until the arrival of Gen. Curtis, when he went to Rolla, Mo., and remained con- nected with the Union army for two years, selling goods at Batesville. After his return home, at the close of the war, he found all his buildings and fences destroyed, but he set to work to again : interest in commendable enterprises.
improve his property, and now has his farm, which consists of 120 acres, well improved with good buildings, and bas eighty one acres under the plow. He has owned 1,200 acres, but has lost the most of it in going security for his friends. His wife owns 146 acres, with 100 acres under cultivation. He was elected to the office of justice of the peace two terms, making six years in, all. and during that time did not have a decision re- versed or a change of venue taken, and not a eent was charged up to the State of Arkansas. He is a Republican in his political views, but usually votes for whom he considers the best man, regardless of party. He has been twice married, the first time to Miss Nancy J. Hayley, in 1854, and of six chil- dren born to them, three are deceased: James M .. William C., and Martha J. (Mrs. James Cole) living in Franklin County, Ark. Mrs. Wren was a mem- ber of the Missionary Baptist Church, and died in 1865. Mr. Wren's second union took place on the 24th of November, 1867, his wife being a Miss Margaret Evans, and of nine children born to them, four are living: W. G., S. R., Thomas H. and Mary C.
