T. P. Stout, merchant and planter, of the **** of M. E. Stout & Co.,
at Hawkstone, in Higgins Township, was born on that plantation in
1867. He is the only surviving son of a family of eight children born
to the Rev. W. C. and Mary E. (Jordan) Stout. (See sketch of the life
of Rev. W. C. Stout). Our subject was reared on the farm, attended
school at Lewisburg and later at Starksville, Miss., for two years. He
was recalled from the latter place by his father's death in 1886, and
has since been mainly engaged managing his mother's estate. The firm
of M. E. Stout & Co., which is composed of Mrs. M. E. Stout, G. P.
Lane, a brother-in-law, and our subject, was organized January 1,
1890. They have a large store on their plantation, and are cultivating
nearly 1000 acres of land. Mr. Stout was married March 28, 1889, to
Miss Ida Wendel, of Brownsville, Tenn. They are the parents of one
child, Arthur Wendel, born November 7, 1889. Mr. and Mrs. Stout are
members of the Episcopal Church. Mr. Stout is one among the many
active and progressive young men of Morrilton, and stands high in the
respect and estimation of its citizens. He is a director in the
Morrilton Hedge Co., and actively interested in all enterprises that
promise to advance the general good.
