   ... Mr. Malone settled in Waldron, Ark., in 1869, and has resided there ever since. Was engaged in business till recently, when he retired, and is now enjoying the fruits of his labors. He has a family of three boys and two girls, all grown and married, except the youngest daughter. One son is cashier of the First National Bank of Waldron. The other two boys live in San Francisco. One daughter married and lives in Fort Worth, Texas. The other, single, lives in Van Buren, Ark. As is usually the case, he and his wife live alone on the homestead, and are growing old gracefully. He has never had to bury any member of his family. All are well and happy - a very fair evidence that some healthy men did come out from the Elmira Prison Camp.
