W. D. JACOWAY.

    W. D. Jacoway, one of the widely known residents of Yell county, serving as
postmaster at Dardanelle, was born January 26, 1869, in the city which is still
his home, his parents being Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Jacoway, who are mentioned on
another page of this work in connection with the sketch of H. M. Jacoway.
Dardanelle's present postmaster received his education in his native city and at
Winchester, Tennessee, and afterward pursued a course in dentistry in the
University of Tennessee at Nashville, where he was graduated in 1900. He then
located for practice at Dardanelle and followed the profession for fifteen
years, gaining a liberal patronage during that period. In 1912 he was appointed
postmaster and is now serving under a second appointment. He is courteous and
obliging to the patrons of the office, faithful in the care of the public
interests and the constituents of the office are thoroughly satisfied with his
administration.

    In 1905 Mr. Jacoway was married to Miss Maye Adams, who was born in
Dardanelle and is a daughter of Cass and Sallie Adams, pioneer settlers of Yell
county, where the father followed the occupation of farming. Mr. and Mrs.
Jacoway are parents of two children:   William Cass and Henderson M., both in
school.

    In his fraternal relations Mr. Jacoway is a Royal Arch Mason and a Knight of
Pythias and in the latter organization he is a past chancellor commander and is
also a past high priest of the Masonic chapter, to which he belongs. His
religious faith and that of his wife connects them with the Baptist church,
while in political belief Mr. Jacoway is a democrat and has filled various
offices. He is a school director, a position which he has occupied for a number
of years, and during the past eight years he has concentrated his time and
energy upon his duties as postmaster. He is representative of one of the old and
highly respected families of the county and there are few in this section of the
state who are more widely known or more highly respected than W. D. Jacoway, who
possesses many sterling traits of character such as win confidence and goodwill
in every land and clime.
