J. Clarke (Publisher, 1922) R. E. HUDDLESTON. R. E. Huddleston, one of the capable young officials of Little River county, living at Ashdown, is filling the position of county and probate clerk in a highly satisfactory and commendable manner. He is a native son of Arkansas, having been born at Salem, Fulton county, on the 24th of August, 1891, and since the age of eleven years has resided at Ashdown. The graded and high schools afforded him his educational opportunities and after putting aside his textbooks he worked in a store for several years, while subsequently he spent seven years as an employe of the First National Bank of Ashdown, which was then known as the Little River Bank. In 1920 Governor Brough appointed him county clerk to fill out an unexpired term and later he was elected to the office, so that he is the present incumbent and is making a most creditable record, efficiently discharging the important duties devolving upon him in this connection. Mr. Huddleston has been married twice. In 1912 he wedded Miss Nola Boggerly and they became parents of two children, Robert E., Jr. and James E. For his second wife Mr. Huddleston chose Miss Mary Locke, by whom he has one son, Mathew W. R. E. Huddleston is a worthy exemplar of the Masonic fraternity and served as secretary of his lodge for several years. His religious faith is shown by his membership in the Methodist church, South. These connections indicate the rules which govern him in the varied relations of life, making him a man whom to know is to esteem and respect.
