*Obituary
Henry Hiatt, an industrious farmer of Franklin County, was born in Marion County, Ind., September 11, 1836, and is a son of Reuben and Mary A. (Rogers) Hiatt, natives of Kentucky. The grandparents removed from Virginia to Kentucky in an early day, and located on a farm.
Reuben Hiatt was born in Garrard County, Ky., where he was reared, and whence, after his marriage, he removed to Indiana, settling in Marion County in 1826; in 1844 he located in Johnson County on a farm, and in 1862 went to Kansas, where he died two years later. To Reuben and Mary
A. Hiatt were born five children, viz.: Hawkins, John, Reuben, Henry and Sarah. At the age of nineteen Henry Hiatt went to Texas, returning to Arkansas in 1856 and locating at Fort Smith. He married Angeletta Taylor, daughter of Z. Taylor, and they have a family of eight children, viz.: Mary A., wife of John Rank; William H.; Lillie, now Mrs. O. Paggett; Sarah E., who married Robert Willis; Laura, Charles, Eugene H. and Oscar L. Mr. Hiatt located on the farm where he now lives in 1859. At one time he owned 640 acres, but he has given his sons farms, and he now conducts a well-improved farm. In 1863 he
enlisted in the First Arkansas Battalion, United States Army, whose headquarters were at Fayetteville, and served until the close of the war, when he returned to his home. In politics he is a Republican. Mr. and Mrs. Hiatt are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
