TREASURER 1904-1908. CIRCUIT CLERK 1892-1894-ST. FRANCIS COUNTY-When Forrest
City, rising on the gentle west slope of Crowley's Ridge, was only a country
town of about 1500 souls and only a few buildings were built of brick, Richard
J. Izard, a hardy pioneer of foresight, opened the local insurance agency which
still proudly bears his name. It was in 1893, now some seventy-one years later,
the R. J. Izard Insurance Agency is now operated by Mrs. Zell R. Izard and
Fenner Laughinghouse in the Old Planters Bank Building on East Broadway. Mrs.
Laughinghouse who is equally active in the insurance agency, was born and reared
in Forrest City. She is the former Bess Stevens and have two fine children. The
Laughinghouse's are members of the First Methodist church.
