I. J. Cawood, of the grocery firm of Cawed & Son, at Rogers, Ark., was born in 
Tennessee in 1861, and is a son of W. H. and R. J. (Sharp) Cawed, who were born 
in Tennessee in 1835 and 1839, respectively. I. J. Cawed is the second of their 
six children, and was reared and married in his native State, his wife's maiden 
name being Esther Sharp. In 1881 he and wife moved to Kansas, and here his 
parents also came a short time after. At the end of one year they came to 
Arkansas and located in Benton County, where they purchased land and followed 
agricultural pursuits for about seven years, after which they engaged in the 
grocery business at Rogers. They are doing a good business, and their trade is 
increasing rapidly. The Cawed family own an excellent farm of 120 acres in 
Benton County. I. J. Cawed and wife are the parents of three children: Charley 
P., Jesse and Otto. Mr. Cawed is a young man of fine business qualifications, 
and in his political views is a Republican. He belongs to the I. O. O. F. and A. 
F. & A. M. fraternities.
