J. Clarke (Publisher, 1922) DAVID HUGH LATIMER. David Hugh Latimer is the popular proprietor of a well-equipped drug store at Lockesburg and is accorded a most gratifying patronage in this connection. He is a native son of Sevier county, in which his entire life has been spent, his birth having occurred at Lebanon on the 29th of March, 1886. He was reared on a farm to the age of fourteen years, and in 1900 removed to De Queen. His early educational opportunities were those afforded by the graded and high schools, while subsequently he spent two years as a student in the Henderson-Brown College at Arkadelphia. In 1905, when a young man of nineteen years, he obtained a position in a drug store at De Queen and eventually embarked in business along that line on his own account, there remaining until the 1st of January, 1919, when he purchased his present establishment at Lockesburg. He carries a large and carefully selected line of drugs and druggists' sundries and his attractive store is extensively patronized, for he has won a well-merited reputation as a progressive, enterprising and thoroughly reliable merchant. He is likewise a stockholder and director in the Bank of Lockesburg. In 1910 Mr. Latimer was united in marriage to Miss Mary Steel, a daughter of Judge A. C. Steel, and they have become parents of a son, Richard Hugh. Their religious faith is indicated by their membership in the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Latimer is a worthy exemplar of the Masonic fraternity, now serving as junior deacon of his lodge and being also connected with the chapter, the commandery and the Mystic Shrine. His career has been upright and honorable in every respect, and he is wideband favorably known as one of the prosperous young business men and representative residents of Sevier county.
