John H. Whitlock, whose name is synonymous with the farming interests
of Franklin County, Ark., was born in Floyd County, Ga., November 6,
1841, and is a son of N. W. and J. E. Whitlock, whose sketch precedes
this. The subject of this sketch attained his growth in his native
State, and his early life thus far has been spent in farming. He was
married in Georgia, in 1864, to Miss Nancy A. Farmby, who was born
October 29, 1841, and by this union they became the parents of seven
children, three now living: Ida E., Mollie A. and Mattie D. Mr.
Whitlock is the owner of 240 acres of good land, 175 acres under
cultivation. All this he has made since the late war. He is a member
of the [p.1284] Masonic fraternity, Pleasant Hill Lodge No. 233, also
a member of the Odd Fellows lodge, Lone Elm No. 61, and is engaged in
farming and dealing in cattle, horses and mules.
