My Genealogy Hound

H. T. Rounsaville is a brother of A. A. Rounsaville, whose sketch appears above, and like his brother, is careful and painstaking in the cultivation of his land, and thorough in everything connected with its management. It is, perhaps, not to be wondered at that he is meeting with success in his chosen calling, for he has always attended strictly to the details of farm work, and is one of the intelligent and enterprising class of citizens who would give life to any community in which they might settle. His birth also occurred in Tennessee, in the year 1842, he being the youngest child living born to his parents, and up to the age of twenty-one years his time was divided between working on the farm and in attending school, where he received a good practical education, and from that time until he arrived at the age of thirty-one years, he traveled about through thirteen different States. After his return to the State of Arkansas, in 1871, he purchased a small but exceedingly fertile farm of forty acres, one mile east of Blythesville, which was then heavily covered with timber, and now has twenty-six acres in a high state of cultivation; has built good fences and made other improvements, securing a pleasant and comfortable home, which he is enjoying with his wife (whose maiden name was Amanda Sawyer, and whom he married in 1873) and his three children, Margaret Ann, Franklin Monroe and Joel Alvin. Mrs. Rounsaville is a daughter of William Sawyer, a pioneer settler of this section.
