Suddith D. Remy, another prominent farmer and stock raiser of the county, and now a resident of Section 23, Maxey Township, where he has ninety acres of well-improved land, is a native of Washington County, Ark., born June 27, 1847, and is a son of W. J. and Elizabeth (Turner) Remy. He came with his parents to Franklin County, Ark., when four years of age, and settled where he has since resided. He was married in Crawford County, Ark., in 1870, to Miss Sophronia Heard, daughter of James and Martha Heard, and a native of Crawford County, Ark., born in 1850. Five children were the fruits of this union: Mary, Earle, Dick, Emma and Grover. Mr. Remy is a self-made man, as he started with very little, if any, money after the late war, but now has a good home, and is in comfortable circumstances. Mr. Remy is a stirring, wide-awake farmer, and is well respected by all who know him. He is a Democrat in his political views, and he and Mrs. Remy are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, of which his eldest daughter, Mary, is also a member.
