November 16, 1856 - April 14, 1931
Frank N. Norwood is one of the county's honored and upright young men, and having been a resident of this county all his life, he is well known. He was born November 16, 1856, to Marion F. and Elizabeth (Barnett) Norwood, natives, respectively, of Georgia and Alabama. The former is now engaged in agricultural pursuits in Nueces County, Tex. He was a soldier in the Confederate army during the late war. His wife's death occurred in 1875. She bore her husband six children, whose names are as follows: William A. (who is a farmer of this county), Elizabeth M. (who is the widow of I. C. Brich, is now living with her father in Texas), John (a farmer of Johnson County, Tex.), James K. Polk and Richard H. (also farming there), and Frank N. (the immediate subject of this sketch. After the death of the mother of these children Mr. Norwood married again, his second wife being Miss Helen Rhodes, who is still living. Frank H. Norwood was reared in this, his native county, but the early educational advantages he received were of the most meager description. In 1882 he started for the Lone Star State, and in four years, after which he devoted two years to farming; then returned to Columbia County, Ark., and here has since made his home, his time being occupied with the duties of farm labor. He is a young man possessing admirable traits of character, chief among which may be mentioned honesty, sobriety and industry. He has always supported the measures of the Democratic party, and has long been a member of the Missionary Baptist Church. He is unmarried.
