SAMUEL BASCOM KINARD.
    Samuel Bascom Kinard, whose death occurred in 1919, was long closely
associated with the industrial development of his section of the state, being
engaged in the operation of a sawmill in Ashley county at the time of his death.
He was born in Columbia county, Arkansas, July 14, 1879, and was a son of Robert
and Margaret (Kelly) Kinard, who are now residents of El Dorado. The son was but
a small boy when his parents removed to this city and his education was acquired
here in the public schools. He possessed natural mechanical skill and ingenuity
and in very early life identified himself with the sawmill business. At the age
of seventeen years he was a mill foreman and served in that capacity up to the
time of his demise, being killed in the mill which he had built on his own
account in Ashley county. He was in some way caught in the machinery and
sustained injuries which caused his death on the 23d of March, 1919.

    Mr. Kinard was married on the 23d of November, 1904, to Miss Lena Renfroe of
Ouachita county, who was born near Camden, and is a daughter of William C.
Renfroe, one of the prominent farmers of that county. Mr. and Mrs. Kinard became
parents of three children: Corine, Early and Clifford. Mrs. Kinard is a member
of the Baptist church and has many friends in El Dorado. Mr. Kinard belonged to
the Masonic fraternity and the Woodmen of the World and at one time was
identified with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. His religious faith was
that of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, and he lived his life according
to its teachings, trying at all times closely to follow the golden rule.
