	J.W. STANFIELD was early taught the duties of farm life,
and this has been his chosen occupation, though of late years
he has been engaged in the mercantile business, having a general
stock of merchandise in Booneville, worth about $1,300. He has
only been in the business about a year, but during that short
period he has gained the confidence and esteem of all by his
honest, upright dealings. He is a young man of good business
qualifications, and will, no doubt, make a complete success of
this enterprise. He is also the owner of fifty acres of good
land, and has twenty-four acres under cultivation. In March,
1885, he was united in marriage to Miss Ellen Craine, daughter
of J.V. Craine, and they have one child, a daughter, named Vora
Lee. Mr. Stanfield was born in Wayne County, Tenn., in August,
1857, and his parents, Thomas P. and C.A. (Woody) Stanfield,
were both natives of Tennessee also. They were married in that
State, and to their union were born six children - three sons
and three daughters - viz: Robert F. (deceased), J.W., Mary J.,
Joseph Z., Charity E. and Comfort A. The father was a soldier
in the United States Army, and was killed in 1865. The mother
removed from Tennessee to Arkansas, in 1880. Their daughter,
Mary J., was married in Tennessee, to Buck Lynch, and then
removed to Alabama, where she now resides. Charity (married
J.W. Fields, of Booneville, Logan County, Ark.), Comfort
(married A.T. Barlow, a farmer in Logan County), and Joseph
married Miss Ida Barlow, sister to A.T. Barlow.
