THE LATE CAPT. AIKIN
A SKETCH OF HIS LONG LIFE, SPENT IN THIS PART OF ARKANSAS
(Melbourne Times)
William Aikin was born in North Carolina and when 14 years old his parents
moved to this state and settled in Izard County. At the age of about 25
years he was married to Miss Kate Rudolph. To this union three children
were born - two boys and a girl, all of whom are now dead. In 1849, when
the California gold excitement was at its height, Mr. Aikin and family
joined an emigrant train and went west in search of fortune. After six
years spent in California, they returned to Izard County and settled at
Sylamore, where Mr. Aikin engaged in the mercantile business until the
breaking out o the civil war in 1860, when he closed out his business at
that place and moved to Batesville, where he lived for more than twenty
years. Here he lost his wife. After her death, Mr. Aikin and his son
Charley returned to Sylamore and sold goods for W.E. Maxfield for several
years, after which time they moved on up the river to Calico Rock, where
they were again employed by Mr. Maxfield until about twelve years ago, when
Mr. Maxfield discontinued business. Mr. Aikin remained at Calico Rock for
several years. He served as postmaster for a number of years.
In 1897 he was again married, this time to Polly Hixon, who died three
years later.
After the death of his second wife Mr. Aikin moved to Sulphur Rock to live
with his son Charley, who later moved to Gassville, Baxter County, where he
was taken sick early last fall and gradually grew worse. He was taken to
Little Tock for treatment and died there some two or three months ago.
Upon the death of his only child the good old man's already feeble health
failed rapidly and he died on the 11th.

CHOKED ON NAIL
A LITTLE CHILD SUFFERS A PECULIAR DEATH AT CALICO ROCK
The Progress gives the following account of the death of the little
two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben F. Smith of Calico Rock on
Wednesday morning.
"About nine days before the death of the child she complained of her
throat and at times she would almost strangle. It was evident she had
swallowed something, and she would say "nail, nail," but no one knew what
the little sufferer meant. On the ninth day, after Dr. Smith had
administered an emitic, the child vomited up a six-penny wire nail. It had
lodged in the bronchial tube, causing inflammation and resulting in toxine
poisoning. The child died a few hours after vomiting up the nail."

"Sudden Stroke Is Fatal to John B. McCaleb Saturday
Prominent Lawyer and Jurist Retires Apparently in Good Health
John B. McCaleb, aged 75, prominent local lawyer and jurist, died suddenly
at his home on Main street here Saturday night. Judge McCaleb had attended
to regular duties at his office Saturday and was apparently in good health
when he retired. He had eaten a lunch shortly before retiring for the
night and relatives believe that death, which came during the night,
resulted from acute indigestion or heart trouble.
Deceased spent almost half a century in the active practice of law and was
one of the best known attorneys in the state. He began the practice of law
at Evening Shade, Sharp County, and was later elected circuit judge of the
Sixteenth Arkansas circuit. He served in this capacity for sixteen years
before retiring to again pursue his private law practice.
He moved to Batesville in 1907 where he resided until the time of his
death. He later formed the law firm of McCaleb and McCaleb, here with his
son, Joe McCaleb. Despite advanced age, he actively handled a large
practice and found time to take an active part in civic affairs.
He was a prominent Presbyterian and had been an active member of the local
church for many years. He held membership on the board of elders at the
time of his death.
He served eight years as a member of Arkansas College board of trustees,
retiring a few years ago. He served at one time as a board member of
Batesville public schools.
Deceased was also a prominent Mason. He maintained membership in the
local order of Free and Accepted Masons, Royal Arch and Knights Templar.
He was chairman of the Arkansas State Capitol commission under Governor
Donaghey. This commission had charge of construction of the present state
capitol building.
He served as delegate to the State Constitutional convention at Little
Rock in 1919. He was a member of the American Bar Association.
Deceased is survived by one brother, T.H. McCaleb of Hardy, four sons, Joe
B. of Batesville, William H. of Little Rock, J.B. Jr., of Durant, Okla.,
and Tom L. of McRae; three daughters, Miss Jean McCaleb of Safford, Ariz.,
Miss Lillie McCaleb and Mrs. Carlton Dent, both of Batesville.

IZARD COUNTIAN DIES IN MISHAP WHILE HUNTING
Missing for several hours yesterday Buster Fulbright, 20, is found dead in
woods near Williamson Switch.
Becoming alarmed after their son, Buster Fulbright, 20, failed to return
home from a hunting trip yesterday afternoon, his parents started a search
and found him early this morning dead in the woods a few miles from his
home. Part of his head was blown away from a charge from a double-barreled
shotgun he had carried on the hunting trip.
His parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.R. Fulbright, who live in the neighborhood of
Williamson Switch, are convinced their son's death came by accident. He
was found near a small stream of water and it is thought that as he was
attempting to cross a drift he accidentally caused the gun to discharge.
It is not thought an inquest will be held.

The Death of Little Maud
She took the cup of life to sip,
Too bitter twas to drain,
She put it meekly from her lip,
And went to sleep again.
On the 28th day of March 1901, there was born to I. C. and Sarah
Nuckolls a beautiful little girl. The named her Maudie Laneer. She was
a lovely child, but on the 11th day of February 1913, He who give her
called her home.
"It was not in cruelty,
It was not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day,
But an Angel visited the earth
And took this flower away."
Litte Maud while only in her 12th year had many relatives and friends
who followed her in sorrow to her litte grave in Hopewell cemetery,
where we left her to rest in peace until the resurrection morn.
Out in the silent city,
Where many loved ones sleep,
Out where the moonbeams glitter,
On stones by grassy heap,
Where songbirds sing in gladness,
From their cool and shady bowers.
Where Southwinds sigh in sadness,
And dark clouds weep in showers;
There little Maud is sleeping,
The sleep of the silent blest,
Whilse God her soul is keeping,
In the home of endless rest.
Written by her uncle, J. L. Brown

ROBERT H. ALLEN
THE YOUNG MAN WHO WAS DROWNED NEAR COTTER TUESDAY.
The member of the force of telegraph linemen, who was drowned on
Tuesday, on the railroad above here, was Robert H. Allen. The accident
occurred six miles this side of Cotter, Tuesday afternoon. The young man
attempted to swim out to a telegraph pole, which the overflow had surrounded,
and on which he was to string a wire. His companions suppose he was seized
with cramps, and drowned before assistance could be given him.
The young man came from Tennessee, where he was raised, and joined the
force of linemen, under Foremen Bently, engaged in stringing the extra wire
between Newport and Carthage. He was twenty-three years old and unmarried and
his body had not been recovered at last accounts. There were fourteen men in
the party, and young Allen was known among his associates as "Carolina".

KILLED BY AN ENGINE
A DRUNKEN NEGRO GOES TO SLEEP BESIDE THE TRACK
SATURDAY NIGHT, JUST ACROSS THE RAILROAD BRIDGE, AND HIS SKULL IS CRUSHED.
Ed Kitchens, a negro living on "Tallow Hill", three miles west of town
and working land in the river bottom, was killed at 2 o'clock Sunday morning,
in Hinkle's field, about 75 yards beyond the railroad bridge across the bayou,
just out of town, by a passing engine.
Kitchens was a darkey of good reputation, his one fault being his love
for drink. He was in town Saturday and bought some groceries from Welborn,
and was last seen alive about the rink after night. He was drinking, and it
is supposed that, on his way home, he lay down beside the track, with his head
near the rail, and met his death.
A disabled engine, used on a work train, left Newark about 11 o'clock
under orders to go to Cotter for repairs. It was in charge of Engineer
Garner, Fireman Woodell and Pilot Whitlock. As the engine passed the spot
where Kitchens was lying, Garner caught sight of the form on the ground, the
engine was stopped and the men went back and found that the man had been
struck and was unconscious. They returned to town and wakened Dr. Lawrence,
the railroad surgeon, who went with them and found the negro dead.
Sunday morning Justice Six, in the absence of Coroner Flinn, who lives
below Elmo, the southern extremity of the county, summoned a jury and began an
inquest. An examination of the body revealed a broken skull, with the brains
protruding from the wound. Beside the body was the sack of groceries and
inside a pocket was a bottle containing some whiskey. The family of the
deceased was then permitted to remove the body and bury it.
The inquest was resumed this morning at the Court House, the members
of the jury being: Caliborne Pearce, John Johnson, Joe Foster, W. W. Warren,
Jas. Swaim, W.M. Dawson, F. P. Albright, Mark Luster, Jas. Harmon, J.R. Brown,
H.A. Bickers, M.O. Kennard, Ernest Kinman and W.H. Sanders. The testimony of
the three railroad men was taken, they having returned from Cotter for that
purpose, and of Dr. Lawrence, Bob Bone, and Will Thompson, the last-named
being colored. The verdict was that Kitchens had been struck in the head by
the sleeve-bolt of the tank truck of the passing engine and killed. No blame
was attached.
Some of the officers were inclined to think that Kitchens might have
come to his death by other means. He had lately had trouble with some of his
negro neighbors, "Tallow Hill" being a well known negro community; and a few
nights ago an effort was made to call him from his house, but he refused to
go. It is said that on Saturday night a couple of negroes from that
neighborhood made inquiry for him here in town. But no evidence along this
line was presented at the inquest, and the jury believe the negro had fallen
into a drunken sleep beside the track and been killed by the passing engine.
