John Diarmied McLeod was born in
Cumberland County, N. C., December 1, 1858, and since the year
1878 has been fighting the battle of life
for himself, and in his operations has been very successful, being
now the owner of 200 acres of land, of
which fifty-five are in an excellent state of cultivation. His early
schooling was received in Bradley County,
but was of a rather limited description, as he was compelled to
assist his parents on the home farm, and
good schools were also very few and far between. He has become
well versed in the business affairs of
life, and is an intelligent and well-posted man on all public matters,
and
in his political views a strict Democrat.
He says that if he could not vote the Democratic ticket he would not
vote at all. He is a patron of all
feasible enterprises, and has filled the office of constable of Clay
Township, to
which position he was elected in 1882. His
marriage with Miss Mollie Wall was consummated February 13,
1882, she being a daughter of Washington
(who died in service in the Civil War) and Eveline Wall, and by
her he has an interesting little family of
three children: Samuel W., Rora B. and Jesse M. He is a son of
Malcom McLeod, an native of Cumberland
County, N. C., who moved to Bradley County, Ark., in December
1858, and is there residing still. He was
a soldier in the late war, and himself and wife became the parents of
eight children: John D., Daniel W., Angus
A., William F., Norman, Nancy R., Walter L. B. and Robert C., all
of whom are living, with the exception of
William F.
