DAVID HUGH LATIMER.
    David Hugh Latimer is the popular proprietor of a well-equipped drug store
at Lockesburg and is accorded a most gratifying patronage in this connection. He
is a native son of Sevier county, in which his entire life has been spent, his
birth having occurred at Lebanon on the 29th of March, 1886. He was reared on a
farm to the age of fourteen years, and in 1900 removed to De Queen. His early
educational opportunities were those afforded by the graded and high schools,
while subsequently he spent two years as a student in the Henderson-Brown
College at Arkadelphia. In 1905, when a young man of nineteen years, he obtained
a position in a drug store at De Queen and eventually embarked in business along
that line on his own account, there remaining until the 1st of January, 1919,
when he purchased his present establishment at Lockesburg. He carries a large
and carefully selected line of drugs and druggists' sundries and his attractive
store is extensively patronized, for he has won a well-merited reputation as a
progressive, enterprising and thoroughly reliable merchant. He is likewise a
stockholder and director in the Bank of Lockesburg.

    In 1910 Mr. Latimer was united in marriage to Miss Mary Steel, a daughter of
Judge A. C. Steel, and they have become parents of a son, Richard Hugh. Their
religious faith is indicated by their membership in the Methodist Episcopal
church. Mr. Latimer is a worthy exemplar of the Masonic fraternity, now serving
as junior deacon of his lodge and being also connected with the chapter, the
commandery and the Mystic Shrine. His career has been upright and honorable in
every respect, and he is wideband favorably known as one of the prosperous young
business men and representative residents of Sevier county.
