born in Walker County, Ga., March 23, 1849, and was taken by his parents to

Seminary, and September 27, 1873, was united in marriage to Miss Eunice

Amanda Patton, a native of Missouri, and a daughter of Col. T. J. Patton, of

Siloam Springs, Ark. Their union was blessed in the birth of five children:

Edward Lee, Lucy Birdie, Ethel M., Robert L. and an infant son. Soon after

their marriage they located on a farm three miles south of ,Prairie Grove, but in
