H. T. Rounsaville is a brother of A. A. Rounsaville, whose sketch
appears above, and like his brother, is careful and painstaking in the
cultivation of his land, and thorough in everything connected with its
management. It is, perhaps, not to be wondered at that he is meeting
with success in his chosen calling, for he has always attended
strictly to the details of farm work, and is one of the intelligent
and enterprising class of citizens who would give life to any
community in which they might settle. His birth also occurred in
Tennessee, in the year 1842, he being the youngest child living born
to his parents, and up to the age of twenty-one years his time was
divided between working on the farm and in attending school, where he
received a good practical education, and from that time until he
arrived at the age of thirty-one years, he traveled about through
thirteen different States. After his return to the State of Arkansas,
in 1871, he purchased a small but exceedingly fertile farm of forty
acres, one mile east of Blythesville, which was then heavily covered
with timber, and now has twenty-six acres in a high state of
cultivation; has built good fences and made other improvements,
securing a pleasant and comfortable home, which he is enjoying with
his wife (whose maiden name was Amanda Sawyer, and whom he married in
1873) and his three children, Margaret Ann, Franklin Monroe and Joel
Alvin. Mrs. Rounsaville is a daughter of William Sawyer, a pioneer
settler of this section.
