Joseph Dunlap is a native of North Carolina, was a mechanic by occupation, is still alive, and a resident of Washington County, Ark. His mother, Frances Dunlap, is also living in Washington County, Ark., and is the oldest person in that county. She is ninety-seven years of age. Dr. Albert Dunlap came to Arkansas during his minority, and grew to manhood in Washington County. He received his education in Ozark Institute, and in 1850 he commenced the study of medicine under Dr. Pollard.

After years of experience in the country, Dr. Dunlap is about to retire from active practice in the city of Fort Smith, and is building up a health resort on the top of the Boston Mountains. This he considers the greatest enterprise of his life. The location is certainly a happy one, and has the sanction of the highest medical authorities in the South, besides being expressly chosen by Dr. Dunlap, who would certainly know its virtue if anyone would. The close proximity of the location to the Southern lowlands, the great altitude and the purity and variety of waters to be found on the location, make it expressly desirable. This is unquestionably destined to become one of the leading health resorts of the South. It is 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, and the highest temperature reached during the summer of 1888 was ninety degrees. The place chosen for the health resort is situated on both sides of the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad, forty-two miles from Fort Smith, and two trains pass daily each way, making regular stops at the station–Winslow.......

Dr. Charles S. Holt

Dr. Charles Holt on the steps of the old Sparks Hospital in the late 1930's........Photos from Lynn Sources for this writting are from: Centennial History of Arkansas. pg. 1078 and Physicians & Medicine: Crawford & Sebastian Counties, Arkansas: 1817-1976. Sebastian County Medical Society. 1977. p.389........This article written by D.Musgrove R. N.

One of the leading founders of Holt-Krock Clinic, was born in Salem, Illiniois in 1880 to Thomas Jefferson and Minerva Louise (Wham) Holt. Thomas Holt listed his occupation as a farmer. Dr. Holt also listed in his biography his paternal grandparents. They were Joseph and Elizabeth Holt. Little is known about his early childhood, but what is known is that Dr. Charles S. Holt graduated from St. Louis University School of Medicine in 1906. He began his practice in St. Louis and remained there for a period of one year. For reasons unknown, Dr. Holt moved his practice to a little know area and still rural area called Fort Smith, Arkansas. There he sat up practice from 1913 to 1934 in St. John's Hospital (now called Sparks Health System). It was during this time, 1934 that he took the "reigns" of the newly named Sparks Memorial Hospital. He remained an active board member of the thriving hospital until his death in 1952.
Dr. Charles Holt was a giving man and a great example of his giving was the $160,000 he gave to the trustees of the board with a condition that it be used to build a new hospital building. His wishes were carried through and Dr. Holt almost saw his dream beome a reality, as the hospital was nearing completion when death came "knocking" at the old doctor's door. The new hospital was not the only mark that Dr. Charles S. Holt left on western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma, he left us Holt-Krock Clinic.
The new clinic (Holt Clinic), was founded in 1921 in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Then in 1928, the name changed to Holt-Krock, when Dr. Fred H. Krock joined Dr. Charles Holt in a joint practice of medicine. The clinic soon became known as Holt-Krock Clinic to those living in the western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. The clinic brought a diverse group of physician into Sebastian County and made seeing doctors easier for families. The clinic held a wide variety of doctors under one roof, which made travel easier. No more going from Rogers Avenue to Townson to other satellite streets. Even laboratories and x-rays could be taken without traveling to another place or hospital. Life for the medical ill became a bit easier, all because of one man's dream of primary health care to the masses! This, however; is not all of Dr. Holt's accomplishments, as he served in numerous capacities in the community.
Dr. Charles Holt loved children and what better way to help them than to make sure they received a good education. He served on the Fort Smith School Board as well as the Arkansas State School Board. Dr. Holt was a member of the Scottish Rite, the Shrine, Blue Lodge(Masonic), Lions Club, Selective Service System, American College of Surgeons, St. John's Episcopal Church, Hardscrabble Country Club, and was president of the Fort Smith Board of Health for a number of years.
Medicine and memberships did not occupy all Dr. Charles Holt's time; however, as one special lady was the center of his world--his wife, Zoe (McCann) Bissell. When they met is not documented, but the two were married on September 30, 1909. The couple never had biological children on their own, but adopted two lovely dauthers, Betsy and Zoe Frances. The couple adored their children.
"Time waits for no man," as one old wise saying goes, and so it was for Dr. Charles Holt. The elderly doctor died on June 7, 1952, in the city that loved him--Fort Smith, Arkansas. His beloved wife Zoe and his two daughters Betsy Altman, and Zoe Frances Wade, were at his side when he closed his eyes forever to this life. A life spent helping others. Healing those who could be healed and giving comfort to those who could not. Fort Smith and the surrounding areas, for that matter, were forever changed because of Dr. Charles Holt's vision. His vision is still alive today, a little worn for wear, a somewhat different "take" on his idea, but still, his vision.
Thank you, Dr. Charles S. Holt!

Dr. Mark Maitland Hukill
Mark Hukill was born in Washington County around 1848 to James Scott and Mary Shannon. He was 22 years when the 1860s census was taken. He was at that time residing in the Sugarloaf Township area. Mark first joined the confederate forces in 1862, but soon was captured and as oral family history tells it, "was presuaded to help the Union" side. It appears Mark received his training during the Civil War. While living in Greenwood, Arkansas Mark became a charter member of the Greenwood Masonic Lodge. He also served as a post master of the town of Greenwood for a time, all the while, serving as a medical doctor. Reconstruction Period in Sebastian county was a harsh period, and with people having little money even to buy food, medical services were almost at a standstill.

Dr. Elbert C. Hunt
Dr. Elbert C. Hunt began his life on this earth in the year of 1862 in Huntsville (Madison County), Arkansas to M.H. and Pricillia (Ogden) Hunt. The elder Hunt was born near Rome, Georgia, and was the son of Richard and Pricillia (Ogden of Mobile, Alabama) Hunt. It is told that M.H. Hunt served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, yet both the Ogdens and Hunts left their homes in the South and moved to Arkansas. It appears both couples moved to Madison County and in later years, moved to Johnson County, Arkansas. Elbert was one of six children born to his parents.
The young Hunt grew up in rural northwest Arkansas and received his early education at the local public school there in Madison County. He later went on to study medicine at the Arkansas Industrial University in Little Rock (now known at University of Arkansas at Little Rock). Upon completion of his medical education, he was examined by the Johnson County Medical Board and there, licensed by that very board. He began his medical practice in Hartman, Arkansas, but later moved to Hartford, Arkansas. Not satisfied with status quo, Dr. Elbert Hunt began to study optometry at the National Optical College. When he completed his optometry studies, the doctor was able to practice both medicine and optometry in the surrounding area.
Dr. Elbert C. Hunt appears to have married twice in his life. His first marriage, date unknown, was to a Elizabeth Oliver. Elizabeth died (date unknown) and Elbert remarried a Greenwood, Arkansas girl named Cynthia Russell. Cynthia was born in 1877. It is recorded that the second Mrs. Hunt died in 1923, and is buried in Liberty Cemetery just outside Greenwood (on Hwy. 96).
Dr. Elbert C. Hunt was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and served as a Steward. He also was a Masonic Mason and a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Time passed and soon it was time for the doctor to "hang up his sign." Death came calling on the doctor in 1955, at the age of 93 years of age. He served the people of Hartman, Mulberry, and Hartford, Arkansas well. Rest well, Dr. Hunt, rest well....

Dr. Lee H. Ingraham
farmer and stock raiser, and retired physician, of Lavaca, was born in McNairy County, West Tenn., in 1844. His parents, James M. and Elizabeth (Spencer) Ingraham, were born in Bedford County in 1815, and in Wilson County in 1817, respectively. They were married in Madison County in 1835, and afterward settled in McNairy County, where the father of our subject was reared. In 1869 they left that county to come to Sebastian County, Ark., where Mr. Ingraham farmed until 1879. He then established the first family grocery store where Lavaca now stands, where he has since continued to do business, being at present the oldest merchant in the town. His father, John S. Ingraham, was a native of Virginia, who accompanied his parents to Wayne County, Ky., when a child. After his marriage he settled in McNairy County, Tenn., where he was the third white settler subsequent to the sending away of the Indians. He died in that county in 1855, at the advanced age of seventy-one. Our subject is the fifth of a family of nine children. He received his early education in his native county, and at the age of seventeen enlisted in Company C, Fifty-second Tennessee Infantry, Confederate States Army, which, after the battle of Shiloh, was consolidated with the Fifty-first Tennessee. He served until the fourteen months of his enlistment had expired, and participated in the battles of Shiloh, Perryville and Stone River. He then returned home, and in 1867 began to study his chosen profession. In 1869 and 1870 he attended the medical university at Louisville, Ky., after which he practiced in McNairy County one year. He then came to Sebastian County, and for four years practiced in Big Creek Township. He then retired upon a farm four years, after which he passed three years in the practice of his profession again, being the only physician between Fort Smith and Charleston. September 10, 1874, he was united in marriage to Mrs. [p.1331] Mary E. Carroll, daughter of John D. and Louisa Arbuckle. Mr. and Mrs. Arbuckle were born in Christian County, Ky., in 1808, and Cooper County, Mo., in 1817, respectively. After their marriage they lived in Cooper County a short time, and then removed to Henry County. In 1835 they came to what is now Sebastian County, and settling in Big Creek Township they passed their lives in the house they built at that time. They were among the early pioneers of the county, and died in 1872 and 1886. Mr. Arbuckle was a nephew of Gen. Arbuckle, who formerly owned Arbuckle Island, which is now the property of our subject. In 1872 Mr. Arbuckle was elected to represent this county in the Senate, but his death occurred before the Legislature convened. For a number of years he had served as justice of the peace. He was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and his wife of the Christian Church. He was of Scotch-Irish extraction, and a descendant of one of three brothers who came to America in an early day. Dr. Ingraham is one of the prominent citizens of the county. He is the owner of nearly 1,000 acres of land—the result of his own thrift and industry, and has cleared about 300 acres of land on Arbuckle Island. His wife owns 600 acres of choice land. To them one child has been born. In religion the Doctor and his wife are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and in politics the former is a Democrat, his first presidential vote having been cast for Tilden in 1876. He is a member and fills the position of secretary of Oak Bower Masonic Lodge, No. 277. He belongs to a long-lived family, his great-grandfather, James Ingraham, having lived in Wayne County, Ky., to the age of one hundred, and two of his sons also lived to be very old men. James Ingraham originally came from Virginia. SOURCE: The Goodspeed Publishing Co., 1889, p. 1331 Contributed by Michael Brown

Johnson was admitted to the Sebastian County Medical Society.
In the Fort Smith weekly newspaper, Elevator, Dr. Johnson had a business listing. Very little is known abouthis specialty, if any.

Johnson served Sebastian County for twenty-four years, yet the doctor was not all medicine, ashe did have a family life.
On the 1880 Sebastian County Census, Dr. D.T. Johnson listed Erna Johnson as his wife. Erna (according to the census), was born in Georgia. No children were listed at this time. No other information can be found on the good doctor.
At the ripe old age of eighty-one years, Dr. D. T. Johnson died in Fort Smith,Arkansas and was buried at Forest Park Cemetery.  Source: Sebastian County 1880 Census, and Physicians and Medicine: Crawford and Sebastian Counties, Arkansas: 1817-1976
