My Genealogy Hound

Z. H. McCubbins, groceryman, of Rogers, Ark., is one of four children-two of whom are living—born to the marriage of William McCubbins and Thebe Duncan. They were born and married in Tennessee, and about 1834 immigrated to Illinois, where they spent the remainder of their days. Z. H. McCubbins was reared in Illinois, and was there married to Miss Mary F. Clemmons, a native of Illinois and of Kentucky stock. Four children were the result of their union. Those living are Churchill and Orila, wife of Asa Hayes. In 1879 Mr. McCubbins came to Arkansas and spent two years in stock trading, and then moved to Kansas, where he traded in stock and fruit, meeting with fair success in that business. He owns a good ranch in that State, but in 1885 returned to Arkansas and located in Rogers, where he has since been engaged in the grocery business. He is one of the enterprising and thrifty business men of the county, and has a large and lucrative trade. He has assisted materially in building up the town of Rogers, and was one of the first settlers. He and wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and he is a pronounced Republican. During the late Civil War he joined Company B, One Hundred and Twenty-third Volunteer Mounted Infantry, and served his country faithfully for three years. He was mustered out at Nashville, Tenn., and discharged at Springfield, Ill. He entered the service as second lieutenant, and rose to the rank of first lieutenant and then to captain, serving in the latter capacity for about two and a half years. He is a member of the G. A. R.
