"Taken from Confederate Soldiers of Louisiana, Library of Congress, 1976. Applied in 1915 for pension, widow applied in Nevada Co. AR after death, 16 Jan 1916. "Index to Ark. Confederate Pension Applications".


Looks like Dr. Wren filed for a Confederate Pension in Arkansas in 1915 and Georgia Wren applied as a widow in 1916.

Birth:
Tooke History records his birth as 15 Feb 1846.

Census:
In this census, it appears that there is an Augustus Wren, age 16, as well as a William A.D. Wren. Looks like W.A.D. Wren is him, but not sure who Augustus is. Perhaps, the confusion on the A.D. Wren later is really around this "Augustus".

Military:
Dr. A.D. Wren applied for a pension on 19 Aug 1915 (along with John W. Hudson and John W. Gann). Veteran # 24686. Georgia Wren applied for a widow's pension on 18 Jan 1916. It seems unlikely that she received her pension, not being indigent.

Residence:
Deed from James J Vickers Jr notes that A D Wren was a resident of Bienville when he purchased the land. This must have been the precursor for his move into Arkansas and the genesis of his old homeplace.

Another Fire
Prescott, October 28 -
The barn of Dr. A.D. Wren, a prominent citizen of Albany Township living eight or ten miles south of Prescott, was burned yesterday together with all his corn (500 bushels) and between 4,000 and 5,000 bundles of fodder.

The fire is believed to have been incendiary in origin. The Doctor and all his family were in Prescott except his son Willard who went to the neighboring Postoffice after dinner leaving no one at home. There was no insurance.

Dr. Wren lives near the edge of the cyclone district that had all its crop prospect destroyed last spring and he was very active at that time in efforts to relieve the sufferers. He is a foremost citizen, a prominent Democrat, and wields an influence in his neighborhood.

Respectfully, E.R.A.

-------------------------

This is a short autobiography that Papaw wrote for himself.

Hudson Wren
Wilson, Arkansas

Born: July 18, 1906
Hill farm in Nevada County, Arkansas (Prescott, County Seat).
Graduated: Prescott High School
College: University of Arkansas - degree in Agriculture
Football - University of Arkansas Razorbacks 1927 & 1928

Upon graduation entered Vocational Agricultural field working with High School boys. First job was the establishment of a new Vocational Agricultural Department at the Portland High School (Ashley County) Southeast Arkansas Delta area. [1930]

Three years later (1932) came to Wilson, Arkansas as Vocational Agricultural Instructor. Worked closely with the management of Lee Wilson & Company.

In the spring of 1933, the Roosevelt Administration came into into office and implemented a program to plow up each third row of cotton because of oversupply and low prices. While still in Vocational Agriculture was pressed into temporary duty as inspector for Federal plow-up program. Traveled Northeast Arkansas where got to view much fine farm land and meet many wonderful people. This program known as Agricultural Adjustment Act was the forerunner of ASCS.

In 1934 succeeded Stanley D. Carpenter as County Agent of South Mississippi County. At that time the Federal Agricultural Adjustment Program was administered by the County Agricultural Extensions Service.

Shall never forget some of the headaches incident to this early program, especially in 1934 when there was a difficulty in securing the "Bankhead Certificates", a type of permit necessary for a farmer to have before he could either gin or sell his cotton. The crop was early (August) and the certificates were late (September). Farmers were broke and disgruntled because of the unnecessary delays cause by Government red tape. Such was indeed a critical time for the farmer. All were greatly in dept, the creditors were pushing them for payment, there was a good cotton crop in the field opening fast, but the Government procedure was obstructing the normal operation procedure.

With the help of an excellent County Committee: J.F. Thompkins: Burdette; Rufus Branch, Pecan Point; and Clay Ayers, Osceola; South Mississippi County did manage to be the second county in the State to receive their allotment of "Bankhead Certificates" and were able to gin the cotton slightly late, but much ahead of any other group of farmers except Pulaski County.

A little nostalgia:
At the time of the plow-up campaign of 1933 the idea was so novel that farmers could not imagine such action. Cotton was celling for 4c-5c per pound. "The bank holiday" of March 1933 was fresh on the minds of everyone. Banks were going broke, Insurance Companies were being forced to foreclose on mortgages, entrepreneurs were jumping from tweleve story buildings, as this county was in the depths of the greatest depression it had known.

Henry A. Wallace was Secretary of Agriculture and reluctantly he decided to take some remedial action after the Plow-Up was announced and it became evident that it was going to be generally accepted the price of cotton increased from 4c-5c per pound to 5c-6c per pound. Not much in dollars but that one cent represented a 20% advance. By 1934, the time of the "Bankhead Certificates", the price of cotton had increased to a whopping 7c per pund - $35.00 per bale.

In 1935 the USDA began a rather comprehensive action program in this County. USDA leased 12,000 acres of farm land and moved "Rural Rehabilitation clients" onto this tract in an effort to help see them through the depression. At about the same time the Federal Government bought 16,000 acres of cutover timber land and started a project of development. This was the beginning of Dyess, Arkansas having taken its name from W.R. Dyess of Luxora, Arkansas who was the guiding spirit behind this undertaking.

[Little Rock] In the fall of 1935 I joined USDA as State Farm Management Specialist. Later became the Regional Farm Management Specialist. In 1938 I became Arkansas State Director of Farm Security Administration within USDA. During the ten years I was with USDA I held the positions of Assistant Regional Director FSA, at Raleigh, N.C., and later Regional (seven southeastern states) Director of War Food Administration at Atlanta, Georgia.

In 1945 I returned to Mississippi County as a practical farm operator. My position was Unit Manager of 12,000 acres of land in the vicinity of Marie, Arkansas. This involved taking over a tract of land which had been leased out and allowed to grow up by the former operator. All equipment had to be purchased at a time of strictest rationing and controls. This involved bartering, trading, and even dismantling a railroad, trading the steel to a farm implement company for farm tractors with which to farm the land.

In 1951 I became Vice President of Lee Wilson & Company, a diversified agricultural-industry operation in South Mississippi County, with operations in Crittenden County, Arkansas and Elko County, Nevada. There are sixteen departments or divisions within Lee Wilson & Company, representing a wider diversity of interests.
