Uel H. Ritchey was born in Jefferson Co., Miss., about the year 1816. He was made an orphan in early life by the death of his parents and thrust out upon the world to make his own way through it as best he could. He married Sarah W. Evans in Neoshoba Co., Miss.,in 1840, and moved to Ark. in 1841, settling in Drew Co., near Monticello, where he lived until 1851, when he moved to Bradley Co., in which he resided until his death, Feb. 22, 1892. He professed religion and joined the M. E. Church, South, rather late in life, from which time he lived a faithful Christian till he was taken away. He had four children, only one of whom was living at the time of his death. His faithful companion had preceded him to the better land a little over two years. After her death he seemed to have no pleasure in life. He always had, from early manhood, felt and shown the highest regard for religion, and was himself pious even before he joined the Church. His attachments were strong and he was a true friend, always standing by his comrades under any difficulty. He could never be neutral on any question or issue. An old friend of his said, on the occasion of his funeral, that he was every inch a man of honor and integrity, and once taking a stand for a friend he would never desert him. He sleeps in peace to wait the waking of the just. Fraternally,
