H. A. Beneux, another prominent and successful merchant of Mulberry,
was born in Franklin County, Ark., August 7, 1864, and is the son of
J. and M. (Quesenbery) Beneux [whose sketch may be seen elsewhere in
these pages]. H. A. Beneux attained his growth on his father's farm,
and continued tilling the soil until 1880, when he commenced attending
school at Fayetteville, Ark., and there remained for two years. He
established his present business in 1883, at Mulberry, and has a large
and selected stock of dry goods, boots and shoes, hats, clothing and
all other goods necessary for a first-class house. He started with a
capital of $375, and now carries a stock of goods valued at $5,000,
with annual sales amounting to $15,000. Mr. Beneux has a large trade,
and is succeeding remarkably well. He is a Democrat in politics, is a
wide-awake business man, and is a much-respected citizen.
