PREWITT - FRANK - E. - - - 6 18 1859 - 1890 - Mt. Vernon Cemetery 

George C. and Frank E. Prewitt are now prominent young farmers of this county,
though natives of Missouri. They removed to St. Francis County, Ark., in 1886,
and settled on the St. Francis River, a section noted for its fertility and
productiveness. Their father, Joseph E. Prewitt, was a native of Scott County,
Ky., where he was reared and married, Miss Naomi M. Nash, a native of Covington,
Ky., becoming his wife. She was a daughter of William and Elizabeth Nash, and
died in 1879, leaving six children: Robert C. (M.D.), William L. (a teacher in
Missouri), Bettie A. (wife of George W. Watts), George C. and Frank E., and
Mattie C. (now Mrs. Clifford, of Missouri). Mr. Prewitt died in 1874 at the age
of sixty-five. George C. Prewitt was born on May 20, 1850, and received a good
education, being instructed in the rudiments of farm work by his father, who was
an agriculturist of advanced ideas. At the age of twenty he commenced farming
for himself. Frank E. was born in Pike County, Mo., June 18, 1859, and started
out in life as a tiller of the soil at the age of nineteen, in 1886 becoming
associated with his brother George. They are industrious and enterprising young
farmers, and are turning their attention to that most lucrative branch of
agricultural pursuits, as well as that most beneficial to the community, the
breeding of fine stock, in which they will undoubtedly make a decided success.
They are Democrats in politics and liberal donators to all charitable and worthy
enterprises.
