James Monroe Meek, born April 5, 1839, Carroll County. He was still single when he became a private in Co. E, Hill's Regiment, Arkansas Infantry (which later became Co. E, 16ty Regiment, Arkansas Infantry). He was captured and released on parole at Port Hudson, La., in July 1863. He died May 9, 1864, of Civil War wounds. Mrs. Ona Twilleager recalls her grandmother, Mary Meek Parker, saying that one of her brothers "was shot through the tongue and couldn't eat; they finally got him home and tried to feed him soup." This apparently was James. He was buried in the family cemetery.
