Thomas S Drew, formerly of Poea.
hontas, Randolph county, Arkansas
A part Of the career of this man
was as honorable as it was success.
tuL but IN the late years Of dls life
the fates pointed their sword At him
and hls closing days we're as pathet-
&c as hts former had been riorious.
After holding various positions Of
trust IN Arkansas be vas nominated
and elected Governor Of Arkansas
as Democrat 10 the year Of Is44.
AT that time Aud under the then ex.
tsting constitution The term Of the
service Of the governor vas four
years. So successful had he been in
the Admiulslratl0n Of the office of
governor, Jhag ia ls4s be was again
elected for another term of four
years, there being but two men IN
the history Of Arkansas who we're
ever honOred with a second election
when the term Of governor was four
years, namely Governor Drew and
Governor Elias n Conway.
The people Of Randolph county,
and especially the city Of Pooahontss,
take much pride IN the history of
the one time Governor Drew. Poca

such is the transition aud mutations
OF life.
We are asking the present legisla
ture TO authorize, by enactment OF a
measure and an appropriation, to
have the remains of Governor Drew
brought back and buried amidst the
scenes Of hIs earthly career and with
the remains OF his old friends whom
he loved aud served 80 we'll
Will the legislature Of 1913 arise
to the occasion and by proper act
grant Us an appropriation and direct

Many .ecedents can be offered for
such an act. A few years ago the
legislature of Tennessee, by an act
Of the and that we hope for, grant
ed an appropriation, appointed a
commit ee and had the remains OF
her hr,t governor, john SEWER,
brought back from the mountains Ct
Alabama and at his second funeral
cortege seventy iye thousand persons
marched together aud the present
legislature is casting about to have
the remains Of his wife brought
from their resting place IN Alabama
TO be re-interred bY his side. just
few years ago the legislature of
Oklahoma passed an act similar TO
what we are now asking Of our leg
Islature aud brought from Texas,
Cynthia Ann Parker, the white
mother of the last Comanohe chief.

A few years ago the writer called
the attention of Judge Orchard, then
senator from Howell county, Mo-,
to the fact that cue of the first mem

er.In-law and the wife Of his bosom
soon passed IN sacred review aud
was buried in the family lot IN the
south part Of Pooshontas. Then
some of his children likewise passed
away.
They we're inferred IN the Bettls
Drew family cemetery some three
blocks South of the court square in
PooshOntss and in the rear of the
residence Of Uncle Bob Hamll.
Later on this cemetery became

of this place, an aged and retired
merchant and philsnthropist, OBJ

Drew of Prescott, Arizona, and had
the remains Of the Two families re-
moved to the Masonic cemetery.
This act alone marks Mr. Hamll as
a phllanthropist.
But to return to the subject Of
this sketch. HIS last days at Poca-
hontas we're spent with a widowed
daughter, a Mrs. Marr. She finally
decided that the Lone Star state
was a more prcpitIous place for her
and hers and moved ID that state.
The poor old man now completely
broken in spirit, body aud fortune
that be might have a shelter IN his
last days went with her and soon
thereafter died near what is now
Llpan, Hood county, Texas, almost
80 years of age. He was buried by
and amidst strangers and to this
day his grave, must L say to the
shame OF Arkansas, Is totally neg
lecled and only a very few persons
can designate the spot where his re-
mains sleep. In a few years the
last survivor will be gone and not a
soul left who can designate the spot
