William Wallace Maroney. It is a well known fact that industry, perseverance and energy, when intelligently applied, will achieve almost any result, and Mr. Maroney is an example of what can be accomplished when the spirit of determination is exercised in connection with the every-day affairs of life. He was born in Monroe County, Ala., November 22, 1849, but was reared principally in Bradley County, Ark., whither the father, John W. Maroney , moved in 1860, but owing to the opening of the war about that time he received very limited educational advantages, but these he did not fail to improve. He started out in life for himself at the age of twenty-one years, and has succeeded well in acquiring property, being now the owner of 242 acres of land, of which 100 acres are under cultivation, yielding him large crops annually. He is a Democrat, a public-spirited citizen, and any feasible enterprise receives his hearty support, both morally and financially, and he commands the universal esteem of the community in which he resides. He was joined in marriage to Miss C. E. Childs, a daughter of C. C. Childs, and old and respected citizen of Bradley County, in 1881, and the following children have been born to them: Hattie A., Ella L., Christopher C. and William H., two of these children being deceased. Mr. Maroney's father and mother were born in Orange County, N. Y., and South Carolina, respectively, and the former's death occurred in Bradley County, Ark., August 30, 1886.
