"I've traveled a long way and some of the roads were not paved"
Burrel M. Childers, a well-known and popular farmer and stock raiser, was
born in Madison County, Ala., October 9, 1821. His father, John Childers, was
a native of Georgia, who moved to the State of Alabama when a young man, and
was there married to Miss Rutha Cown. The parents remained in Alabama until
the year 1824, and then settled in Tennessee, where they resided up to 1838,
when they selected Arkansas as their future home, and located in Lawrence
County. The elder Childers had an eventful history in his younger days, and
was a soldier in the Black Hawk War. He reared a family of
eleven children, five sons and six daughters, of whom Burrel M. Childers is
the only survivor. Burrel remained with his father until he was of mature
age, and then enlisted in the Mexican War of 1846. After the war was over and
the treaty had been made, he received his discharge, and returned to Lawrence
County. He settled on his present place in 1849, when this portion of
Arkansas was nothing more than a wilderness, and has lived to see it grow up
[p.780] into a populous and thriving community. Mr. Childers has since then
cleared up about seventy-five acres, and put them under cultivation, besides
owning 160 acres adjoining. He did, at one time, own over 1,000 acres, but
has divided up with his children. When war was announced between the North
and South he gave his services to the Confederacy, and joined Col. Shaver's
regiment. He was elected lieutenant, and held that rank until the close of
hostilities. During that time he took part in the fights at Pilot Knob,
Independence, Kansas City, Big Blue and Miner's Creek, where Gen. Marmaduke
was taken prisoner. After the war he returned to Lawrence County, and has
since then been occupied in farming. His first marriage was to Miss Narcissa
Beavers, of Illinois, who died in 1856. This wife left two children, who grew
to maturity, were married, and left children of their own. Mr. Childers next
married, in this county, Mrs. Hopkins, a widow lady, of Indiana, who died in
1883. There are three children living by this wife, whose names are: C. F.,
wife of Joseph Lollar; Julis, widow of A. B. Hogard, and Hezekiah. His
present wife was united to him in 1884, her former name being Aveline Grider,
a daughter of Martin Grider, one of the pioneers of Randolph County. There
are three children by this marriage: Maxie, Stonewall Jackson and Chaldon.
Mr. Childers is a member of the Masonic order, and is a Royal Arch Mason,
belonging to the Eastern Star. He attends the Christian Church, while his
wife is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and also of the Eastern
Star. In the early days of his settlement in Arkansas, Mr. Childers was a
hunter of no mean pretenses. He made a regular business of hunting for ten
years, and together with his brother, killed thirty-six bears, six panthers
and a great number of wild cats, in one spring, besides a quantity of deer.
He has a record of killing eleven deer in one day, while a companion of his,
a Frenchman, killed eleven deer and two bears the same day. Mr. Childers is a
genial and active gentleman, though well advanced in life, and is very much
thought of by his neighbors. He is full of anecdote, and it is a pleasure to
listen to the reminiscences of his early days, which none can tell so well as
an old settler.
William Childers, a well-known boniface and liveryman of Imboden, was born
in this county in the year 1844. His parents came to Arkansas in childhood,
and were located in the southwestern part of Lawrence County. He is descended
from an old family of Virginians; his grandfather, Isam Childers, moving from
that State to Arkansas, with his family, in 1824, where he reared his family
of four boys and two girls, Alexander C. Childers, his third son, being the
father of William Childers. Isam Childers was a veteran of the War of 1812,
and died in 1858 at an advanced age. Alexander C. Childers was born in
Virginia, in 1815, and moved to the State of Arkansas, with his father, when
in his childhood. When war was declared between this country and Mexico, he
was one of the first to follow the lead of Gens. Scott and Taylor in the land
of cactus, and distinguished himself on many a battlefield. He died in 1860
while in the very prime of life, and left a shining example behind him for
his sons to follow. James Childers, one of his brothers, represented this
county in the legislature for several terms, and was one of the prominent men
of Arkansas. The mother of Mr. William Childors was a daughter of Jacob
Fortenberry; her name was Matilda, and she was born in Virginia in 1819, and
died in 1844, when he was an infant. She left four children: Elisabeth, the
wife of D. Christian; Nancy, the wife of Lee Holt, now residing in Texas;
Absalom F., a Baptist minister in Alabama, and William Childers, of Lawrence
County. Mr. Childers commenced to make a career of his own at the age of
sixteen years, and entered the army during the war. He was a member of
Company E, First Arkansas, and gallantly upheld the reputation of his
forefathers as model soldiers. On August 10, 1861, he was dangerously wounded
and forced to desist from fighting. He lay idle for three months, but the old
fighting instinct compelled him to enter the ranks again, and he joined
McCorvess' regiment, Fourteenth Arkansas, in which he fought until his
capture at Port Gibson. He regained his liberty three months later, and after
the fall of Vicksburg [p.781] re-joined the army at Washington, Ark. He was
again made prisoner and taken to Little Rock, Ark., and transferred from
there to Rock Island, Ill., where he was kept until Lee's surrender. After
his release he went to Leavenworth, Kas., and made a trip across, the plains
to Denver City, Col., remaining in that place six months before his return
home. He has, since that time, resided in Lawrence County, where he is
engaged in farming, stock raising, and as a hotel keeper and liveryman he
enjoys a well-deserved reputation. He is one of the most extensive stock
dealers in the county, an occupation to which he has given much attention
since the war, and his was the first shipment made over the St. Louis, Iron
Mountain & Southern Railroad. He has devoted himself largely to trading in
horses, mules, cattle, hogs and sheep. Mr. Childers is prominent in all
political matters, and was twice elected treasurer of Lawrence County by the
Democrats. He was also nominated for sheriff, but was beaten by his opponent.
His first business venture in this county was with W. Childers & Co., at
Smithville, Ark., and the second with a firm composed of W. C. Sloan, Q. C.
Jones and himself, dealers in merchandise, of which Mr. Childers was the
manager. He sold his interest to W. C. Sloan two years later, and since that
time has had charge of the widely known Delmonico Hotel and a well-equipped
livery stable attached. He was married, January 15, 1865, to Miss Clara A.
Wells, a lady of Lawrence County, Ark., and daughter of John Wells, of
Virginia, who was one of the principal stock dealers in Arkansas, before his
death in 1858. Mrs. Childers' mother was Eliza A. Grayson, of Louisiana,
before her marriage. She died in Imboden in the year 1886, aged sixty years.
Nine children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Wells, all of them deceased excepting
the wife of William Childers. Mr. Childers and his wife have had eight
children, three of whom are dead, namely: Robert E. L., Nancy S. and Doney
Belle. Those living are: Charles O., Mollie May, William Sloan, John Crockett
and Grover Cleveland. Mrs. Childers is a charming lady and universally
beloved for her kindness of heart and gentle disposition. Her husband is a
Master Mason and a leader in the affairs of his county. They are generous and
liberal in all their undertakings, and respected by everyone.
