H. L. STERNBERG.
    H. L. Sternberg, devoting his attention to law practice at Stuttgart, comes
to this state from St. Louis. His birth occurred in that city in 1879, his
parents being Charles and Emma (Jennings) Sternberg. The father was born in
Centralia, Illinois, and was a son of Frederick Sternberg. On leaving Illinois
he removed to St. Louis, where he still makes his home. During the Civil war he
served as a drummer boy in the Confederate army. His wife is a daughter of John
Jennings, who was born in England, and her birth also occurred in that country.
She accompanied her parents to the new world, the family home being established
first in St. Louis, while later a removal was made to Bluffton, Missouri.

    H. L. Sternberg pursued his education in the public schools of St. Louis and
then in preparation for law practice he attended the Washington University of
that city. He not only prepared for the practice of law but likewise became an
expert stenographer and this has been of much assistance to him in his
professional career. He was admitted to practice at Pine Bluff, Arkansas, in
1907, and was appointed official court reporter of the eleventh judicial
circuit. His work as a reporter has brought him comprehensive knowledge of the
law and of the methods employed by attorneys. He came to Stuttgart in 1919 and
in the previous year he reported the proceedings of the Arkansas constitutional
convention. He was official reporter of the state senate in 1911. He has
attained a notable degree of efficiency in his reportorial work and in 1918-1919
was president of the Southwest Shorthand Reporters Association. He reported the
1921 meeting of the American Investment Bankers Association, the meeting being
held in New Orleans, Louisiana, and has reported hearings of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the Federal Trade Commission and also the Oklahoma State
Medical Association conventions. He is now deputy prosecutor for Arkansas county
and is connected with much important litigation heard in the courts of his
district.

    Mr. Sternberg was married in 1901 to Miss Lillian E. Wright, a daughter of
H. G. Wright. He has an interesting military chapter in his career, for he is a
veteran of the Spanish-American war, having served as a member of Company H,
First Missouri Regiment. His uncle, Dr. George M. Sternberg, was surgeon general
of the United States army during that war. Fraternally Mr. Sternberg is
connected with the Elks and with the Woodmen. He belongs to the Episcopal
church, in which he is a lay reader, and he is greatly interested in all that
pertains to moral progress arid to the uplift of the individual. In this
connection he organized the Boys' Club of one hundred and twelve members and is
a director of the Boys' Choir. He is seeking in every possible way to safeguard
the youth of the country and to surround them with such influences and
advantages as will make for honorable manhood and upright citizenship.
