(Copy of Book Page) BRADLEY COUNTY    777

        "Nelson B. York, a prominent old resident of
the county, residing near Johnsville, Ark., was born
in Lincoln County, Ga., December 12, 1811, being
a son of James and Jane (Florence) York, both of whom
were born in Georgia, and died in Bradley County, Ark.,
in 1865 and 1864, respectively, whither they had come
in 1849. They were the parents of six daughters and
two sons. Nelson B. York was reared and educated
in the State and county of his birth, receiving the 
advantages of the common schools, but in December
1844, was married in the State of Mississippi, to 
Miss L. J. Watson, a Kentuckian, born in 1825, and 
to them a family of nine children were born, four of 
whom are living: Lownds E., Charles C. (who began
merchandising in Johnsville in 1886, and carries a
stock of goods valued at $1,500; he is a young man,
possessing excellent business qualificatrions, and is
married), L. J. (wife of F. L. Jackson), and Eu-
genie (wife of Samuel W. Godfrey). Mr. York 
has been one of the " sturdy sons of the soil "
throughout life, and by the sweat of his brow has
attained his present valuable property, and is now
the owner of 1,400 acres of timber land, and has
fifty acres cleared and under cultivation. He and
wife are honored residents of Bradley County, and
have long been members of the Baptist Church.
Although seventy-nine years of age, he is yet hale
and hearty, his memory especially ahowing no in-
dications of the ravages of time. He has always
been a Democrat in politics, and his first presi-
dential wote was cast for Van Buren, in 1832."
