J. T. Logan, born December 9, 1845, in the sunny State of Alabama, is a son of Thomas and Nancy (Noble) Logan, who were Southerners by birth, and the parents of eleven children: Parthenia (married J. W. Lovell), Martha, Sarah (the wife of J. W. Allen), Mary (now Mrs. Isaac Birnan), Eliza, John, Louvenia (who married G. V. Littlefield), Georgia A. (who married Henry Luper), Idela (wife of P. Weems), and William W. (who married Miss Mollie Mitchell). The family moved to Arkansas in 1860, locating in Howard County, and being exceedingly prosperous, happy and cultured people, are naturally an ornament to that district. The mother is an active member of the Primitive Baptist Church. Mr. Logan received an excellent education in the private schools of Alabama. He ranks today among the most prosperous citizens of Howard County, and devotes much of his time to agricultural pursuits. He is a strong Democrat and very much interested in politics. In 1864 he enlisted on the Confederate side, under Gen. Logan, Company D, of Arkansas, and after surrendering he once more turned his attention to farming, purchasing his present valuable property in 1874. Possessing the characteristics which go to make up a fortunate life, the subject of the sketch has always "bid dull care be gone'' and learned the glorious lesson of being a source of pleasure to himself and acquaintances.
