Z. H. Mccubbins, groceryman, of Rogers, Ark., is one of four children-
two of whom are living-born to the marriage of William McCubbins and 
Thebe Duncan. They were born and married in Tennessee, and about 1834 
immigrated to Illinois, where they spent the remainder of their days. 
Z. H. McCubbins was reared in Illinois, and was there married to Miss 
Mary F. Clemmons, a native of Illinois and of Kentucky stock. Four 
children were the result of their union. Those living are Churchill 
and Orila, wife of Asa Hayes. In 1879 Mr. McCubbins came to Arkansas 
and spent two years in stock trading, and then moved to Kansas, where 
he traded in stock and fruit, meeting with fair success in that 
business. He owns a good ranch in that State, but in 1885 returned to 
Arkansas and located in Rogers, where he has since been engaged in the 
grocery business. He is one of the enterprising and thrifty business 
men of the county, and has a large and lucrative trade. He has 
assisted materially in building up the town of Rogers, and was one of 
the first settlers. He and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal 
Church, and he is a pronounced Republican. During the late Civil War 
he joined Company E, One Hundred and Twentythird Volunteer Mounted 
Infantry, and served his country faithfully for three years. He was 
mustered out at Nashville, Tenn., and discharged at Springfield, Ill. 
He entered the service as second lieutenant, and rose to the rank of 
first lieutenant and then to captain, serving in the latter capacity 
for about two and a half years. He is a member of the G. A. R.
