Councel Lambeth Hart, farmer and stock trader of Benton County, Ark., was born in Bedford County,
Tenn., in 1848, and is a son of Edmond L. Hart, whose sketch precedes this. At the age of twelve
years he was taken to Benton County, Ark., and was here reared to manhood. In 1873 he was married
to Miss Nancy E. Caldwell, a daughter of Joshua and Sarah (Alexander) Caldwell. Mrs. Hart was
born in Benton County in 1837, and is the mother of eight children: John P., Mary A., Cora B.,
Evaline, Harden, Jennie May, Edmond L. and Jesse Lambeth. In 1873 Mr. Hart located on his present
farm, and in 1882 erected a frame dwelling house at a cost of $973. He is now the owner of 200
acres of land, and for the past fourteen years he has been engaged in stock-dealing. He at first
bought and sold stock on commission, but for several years past he has been buying and selling on
his own account, shipping to St. Louis. Mr. Hart has bought and sold more stock than any other
man in Benton County, and is an excellent judge of stock of all kinds. He is a Democrat in
politics, and is a member of the Masonic fraternity. At the present time he is deputy sheriff
under F. P. Galbraith.
