James H. Houston was born in Shelby County,
Tenn., October 1, 1849, and is now a farmer of Greenfield Township, residing
about six miles south of Jonesboro. His father was William Bird Houston,
a prominent and highly esteemed citizen of Poinsett County. He was a native
of Tennessee, and came with his family to Arkansas, about December, 1856,
locating in the northern part of Poinsett County, where he engaged extensively
in farming and stock raising. He was a Democrat, belonged to the Masonic
fraternity, and was a member of the Methodist Church. When about twenty-five
years of age he was married, in his native State, to Harriet Jane Steelman,
also a native of Tennessee. To them were born thirteen children, the four
surviving making their home in Arkansas. They are: James H. (the subject
of this sketch), Melinda (widow of S. Harris, s/o Capt. Harris, who
has several times represented Poinsett County in the State Senate), John
F. (married to Emma J. Allen, deceased), and William Bird, Jr. (married
to Elizabeth Kelsoe, deceased). The father died in 1872, the mother in
1867. James H. was seven years old when his parents came to this State,
but he returned to Tennessee to school after the war. He owns 130 acres
of land in Poinsett County, much of it under fence. He moved to Craighead
County in August of 1887, locating at his present residence, the old McCarty
homestead. February 15, 1880, Mr. Houston was married to Lucinda J. Stephens.
To them were born three children, all deceased: Cora M., Lorenzo B. H.
and John H. Mrs. Houston died August 22, 1886, and he was married again
August 4, 1887, to Melinda Josephine McCarty, a daughter of Michael and
Melinda (Weer) McCarty, the former a native [p.336] of Ohio, the latter
of North Carolina; the former is deceased, but the latter is still living,
aged seventy-one years. Mr. and Mrs. Houston have had one child, a daughter,
now deceased. Mr. Houston is a member of the Methodist Church, has taken
great interest in Sunday-school and church work, and is a leading member
of the denomination to which he belongs. He is a member of the Agricultural
Wheel, and a prominent and enterprising citizen.-GOODSPEED'S BIOGRAPHICAL
