     Harriet Narcissus Jones   Born 31 May 1865.  Died 1927 in Little Rock, Arkansas.  Buried in Roselawn Cemetery, Little Rock, Arkansas..  Harriett or Hattie as she was first married to Dr. Henry P. Bruton  The following is from Goodspeeds: "Dr. H.P. Bruton, the well-known eclectic physician, and a member of the popular firm of Bruton and Lynch, general merchants of Bellville, was born in Pope County.    In 1840, his parents, James and Sarah (Angel) Bruton, of Kentucky and Tennessee, respectively, but were married in the latter state, came to Arkansas in 1836, bought, entered and improved the land on which they made their home till their deaths, his wife's occurring in 1856, and he following her demise in 1862.    He was an active politician, being in the Lower House of the General Assembly for a number of years, and was one of the commissioners to locate the seat of justice of Pope County at Dover, and for many years officiated as a Baptist preacher, and was familiarly known througout all Western Arkansas.   The Doctor's early boyhood was spent on a farm, attending the private schools, and when sixteen years old began teaching, and for several years taught and attended school.    When nineteen he engaged as clerk in a drug store, and there laid the foundation of his medical profession, by reading medicine in connection with his duties at the store.   In 1860-61 he enrolled himself as a student of the Eclectic Medical Institute, afterward graduating, and at once beginning to practice.   Locating in Danville, in 1867, he opened an office, and in 1872 started the first drug store in town, withdrawing from this to endter into the genertal merchandise business.   Going to Russellville in 1878, he engaged in his profession and in merchandising, and remained till 1881, when he came to Bellville, where he has established his present lucrative business and built up a good practice.    In 1880 he was president of the State Eclectic Medical Society, held at Hot Springs, and in January, 1890, took into partnership T.C. Lynch.   His individual property consists of a good dwelling and 160 acres of land, partially cultivated.   He was three times married, the first time to Miss Ella Fowler in 1873 who died in a few years leaving him one child, Lee; and again in 1878, Miss Stafford, daughter of Dr. Stafford, became his wife.   She died, leaving him one child, Arthur, and in 1885 he celebrated his third marriage, Miss Jones being the contracting party, and who bore him two children: Bertha and Myrtle.   They are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church South."        After Henry died in 1891 she married her second husband, Dr. Emmett Poe Elliott of Chickolah District of Yell County on 23 Sept 1897.  Hattie and Emmett had 3 children before their divorce around 1920. In Hattie's last years on this earth she wrote a number of poems, most of which reveal that she was very sick. It is my believe that Hattie likely had, and died of Tuberculosis. Her daughter, Mattie had Tuberculosis and was hospitalized in Booneville, Arkansas at just about that same time.
