The Forrest City Times' Art Souvenir-1905-Page 70: The constant influx of new
inhabitants who seek this growing city in search of health and wealth, and the
active enterprise of those already here, is constantly adding many new homes to
our residence districts, and one of the successful industries of this city, as
well as one of the most essential is that of plumbing. Mr. McDaniels' plumbing
business house was established in 1895. His shop and office is located at No.
211 South Front street. Mr. S. P. McDaniel is a native of this county, having
been born at McDaniel, four miles south of Forrest City, on December 17, 1861.
His parents were Ambrose Dudley and Mary E. (Orsborn) McDaniel, and his
grandfather was one of the first settlers in this fertile section. His father
was a planter and mill man, and was noted for his charities and dispostion to
console all those in trouble who sought his aid or advice. Mr. McDaniel was
married in 1882 to Miss Margie P. Lewis, who died the following year. In 1885 he
was again married, this time to Miss Sallie J. Evans, daughter of Hiram Evans, a
wealthy planter of Franks township, now deceased. One child, Charley McDaniel,
blessed their union. Mr. McDaniel came to this city to reside permanently in
1885, from McDaniel, whence he had been engaged in the general merchandise and
mill business for a number of years. Since coming here he has been a member of
the City Council for three years, and Chief of the Fire Department for six
years.
