Vince Malone, a well-known contractor and one of the most extensive
farmers of Union Township, was born in Tippah County, Mississippi, in
the year 1856, and is another son of Daniel and Mary A. (Tapp) Malone.
[See sketch of Elias Malone.] Vince Malone grew to manhood on a farm,
receiving his education at the neighboring schools. He began life's
battle for himself at the age of twenty years, as a farmer, which he
has followed more or less ever since with marked success, being the
owner of a fine farm of 395 acres, about 300 acres of which is under
cultivation. It lies five miles north of Plummerville, in one of the
most fertile upland sections of Conway County, and is all the result
of his own industry and success as a financier. During the years of
1880, '81 and 82, Mr. Malone was engaged with a brother in the
Mercantile pursuit at Plummerville, under the firm name of Malone
Bros. In 1883 Mr. Malone united in marriage with Miss Bettie Adams, a
daughter of Isaac H. and Mary Adams, who were probably natives of
Arkansas; married in Conway County where Mr. Adams died October, 1886.
He was a soldier in the Confederate army. Mrs., Adams is still living.
Mrs. Malone is a native of Conway County, and as a result of her
marriage with Mr. Malone, has two sons and two daughters. Politically
Mr. Malone is a Democrat, and is a member of Howard Lodge, No. 253, A.
F. and A. M., at Plummerville, and of the Missionary Baptist Church.
Mrs. Malone is a Cumberland Presbyterian. For about a year Mr. Malone
has been engaged in the well-drilling business, during which time he
has drilled upwards of one hundred wells, operating two machines and
employing four men.
