Hiram A. WHITTINGTON has been an active agriculturist for many years,
and as such as met
with a more than ordinary degree of success. He was born in
New Hampshire on February 17, 1832, to
Col. Granville and Cordelia (Wilder) Whittington, both of
whom were born in Massachusetts,
the later being a native of Boston, and the former of Cohasset.
They were married in Boston, in which city they made their home
until 1838, when they came to
Hot Springs, Ark., at which place they made their home until 1840.
They then moved to a farm
near Mount Ida, where there mother is still living, where the father
died on April 27, 1887,
at the age of seventy-nine years. He was educated in Boston,
and learned the book-binder's trade,
at which he worked until coming to Arkansas, when he abandoned it
after he had devoted
one winter to it in Little Rock. From that time until his
death he followed farming as a livelihood,
and being a man of splendid judgement and great energy he acquired
a large amount of property.
He was judge of Hot Springs County, when Montgomery, Garland and
Hot Springs were one,
holding the position one term, and after Montgomery County was organized
he represented it
in the Lower House of the Legislature. He was internal improvement
commissioner for several years,
and held other important positions of trust. For several
years he was colonel in the State Militia,
and was known as a man of undoubted honor, kindness of heart, and
very charitable.
He was a Knight Templar Mason, represented his lodge in the Grand
Lodge of the State a number of years,
and although formerly a Whig, he became a stanch Democrat after
the war.
He was a Southern sympathizer during this time, and was in favor
of succession.
His father, William Whittington, was born in England and died in
Massachusetts.
A son of his, Maj. Hiram A. Whittington, a brother of Granville
Whittington,
recently died in Hot Springs, Ark., aged eighty-nine.
The mother of the subject of this sketch is residing on the old
homestead in this county,
and although she has reached the advanced age of eighty years, she
is quite hale.
She is a member of the Christian Church, and has been a mother of
ten children, f
our of whom are now living: Hiram A., Granville N., Horatio B.,
Cordelia, wife of John S. Elder, of Mount Ida.
The other children died as follows: Junius George, at the age of
forty-six years,
William A., when thirty-five years of age, and Josiah W., when about
twenty.
The other children died young.
The immediate subject of this sketch spent his school days in this
county,
and after making a home with his father until 1860,
he began doing for himself on the farm which he now lives, the principal
part of which is covered with timber.
Splendid improvements have been made by Mr. Whittington, and the
place is admirably adapted
and arranged for a stock farm, to which business he gives much attention.
The greater part of his 200-acre farm is under cultivation, and
all the buildings are excellent.
In June, 1863, he joined Col. Ginstead's regiment, Twenty-fourth
Arkansas Confederate Infantry,
holding the rank of first lieutenant of Company I, but in October,
1863, was discharged at Little Rock.
He afterwards became a member of Company K. Col. Newton's regiment,
and served until the final surrender.
While he was in the army his farm had grown up to weeds, his house
had been burned to the ground and
all property that could be laid hands on was taken away or destroyed.
Thus he had to commence once more at the foot of the ladder, but
as has been stated above he has been remarkably successful.
In November, 1860, he married Miss Martha Ann Garrett, a daughter
of Jesse B. Garrett of Mount Ida,
formerly of Scott County, Ark., the State of birth being Illinois.
Mrs. Whittington died in March, 1886, having become the mother of
the following children:
Jefferson D., Ada E. (now married), Hiram A., Cordelia, and Clara
J., living.
Mr. Whittington is a Democrat and a member of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South. page 495-496.

Lake Ouachita Dam - removed cemeteries
Montgomery Co AR - cemetery moved to Garland Co AR after 1917
https://sites.rootsweb.com/~armontgo/relocatedcem.htm
Garland County cemeteries from the north side of the Lake Ouachita
site were relocated
by the Army Corps of Engineers between 28 June 1952 and 25 July
1952 before the area was
inundated with water. Buckville Cemetery was the only cemetery in
the area left untouched by
the flooding of the Ouachita River. Since the dam was talked about
in the 1930s many started
burying elsewhere before all this took place. The various small
cemeteries of Bradley,
Pittman (Williamson) & some of the Cedar Glades were moved to
the hilltop above what is now the
Buckville Cemetery and Church
These graves are also known as the NEW CEDAR GLADES CEMETERY.
Most of those from Cedar Glades went to the small Mount Valley Cemetery,
originally Fowler Cem., near Hot Springs. It grew with the additions
of the grave removals
from the Buckville area, and many families of those descendants
bury there today.
All were removed a coffee can of dirt at a time.
Only recent graves were actually moved by the Corp of Engineers.
We found also that many markers were never actually moved either.
