Melmoth Allen Dodd Melmoth A. Dodd acquired his early education in the public schools near his father's home and afterward attended college at Paragould, Greene county, Arkansas, while subsequently he continued his studies in Thompson’s Classical Institute at that place. Having thoroughly qualified for law practice, he entered upon the active work of the profession in 1906. In 1910 he opened an office in Hartford. Through the intervening period of eleven years he has practiced successfully here, gaining a large clientage which he has ably represented in the courts, the records of which bear testimony to his ability in the many favorable verdicts that he has won. He has also been active in the public life of the community, serving at one time as mayor of the city, and is now filling the office of justice of the peace. He acted as a member of the legal advisory board during the World war. Mr. Dodd was united in marriage to Miss Pearl Wimberly, of Huntington, and they have become parents of two children, Benjamin Allen and Kenneth. The religious faith of the family is that of the Baptist church, and Mr. Dodd fraternally is identified with the Knights of Pythias, of which he is a past chancellor, and with the Loyal Order of Moose. The greater part of his time and attention, however, is necessarily given to his practice. which has been constantly growing in volume and importance, and today he is ranked with the able attorneys of Sebastian county.
