Timothy C. Freeman, a son of William H. and Nancy Freeman, was born in
Warren County, Tenn., on June 2, 1843. His parents removed from
Tennessee to Louisiana and thence to Arkansas in 1853. They settled in
Carroll County, where Timothy C. Freeman grew to manhood. In 1861 the
latter enlisted in the Confederate army, and was assigned to Col.
Hawthorn's regiment of infantry. On July 4, 1863, he was taken
prisoner at Helena, Ark., and was held at Alton, Ill., until June 10,
1864. Soon after he was discharged and enlisted in the United States
Navy for three years, but was discharged August 10, 1865, after which
he returned to Missouri, locating in Polk County. There he engaged in
farming, and remained until 1873. On January 6, 1868, he wedded
Samantha Lofton, who was born and reared in Polk County, and is a
daughter of Alfred Lofton, now deceased. In 1873 Mr. Freeman sold his
property in Polk County, and, removing to Arkansas, settled on a farm
near Berryville, which he has since cultivated in a very successful
manner. In polities he has always endorsed and supported the measures
and men of the Democratic party. He was elected sheriff of Carroll
County in the fall of 1878, and was twice re-elected to the same
office, thus serving six consecutive years. For some time he has
served as public building commissioner of the county. He and wife have
a family of one daughter and four sons, viz.: Flora (Mrs. J. H.
Hanna), William E., James B., Finney and Charles. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Freeman are consistent members of the Christian Church. He is a Mason
and a member of the I. O. O. F.
