FELTON, Jack - {from The Prairie Grove Herald} Jack Felton, son of

Mr. James Felton, died Monday, August 2nd at 3 o’clock in the afternoon at

the home of C.W. Mabry, one mile south of Prairie Grove. About a year ago

Mr. Felton was seriously injured in a runaway at his home at California

where he had been living for some time. He received internal injuries which

made him an invalid and realizing that his days were short, he returned to

this county about a month ago to spend his remaining days. The deceased

was 52 years of age, was born in Missouri. Shortly after the Civil war he

moved to this country with his parents but since arriving at manhood a

large part of his life has been spent in California. The burial was made in

the West graveyard Tuesday, the funeral services being conducted by Rev.

N.D. Hanks. [The Springdale News 8/13/1909]
