William M. Stout, b. 1806; d. 06 Dec 1865. He was born in Knox County, Tennessee. He was shot at his home south of Dover, AR by an assassin. He was the son of Abraham and Sarah Stout. He married Anne Parker on 26 Jul 1826 in Blount Co. Alabama. Children: James M., John W., Elizabeth, Delano B., Milly N. Lawson, Matilda J., and Mary L. LEE.

Company B, Gray's Battalion, Arkansas Volunteers Mexican War.

He was appointed County Clerk by Gov. Isaac C. Murphy in 1861. He was a Methodist minister.

His death was a result of the Pope County Militia War.

He was originally buried on his home place south of Dover, West of Linker Creek,
in the Stout Family Cemetery. In the 1990s a great-grandson removed his stone
from there because he was afraid it would be lost. He then placed it in this
cemetery [Old Lake]. Both he and his wife were buried on their home place.

At one time Mr. Stout owned the property where McFadden Cemetery, South
of Dover, is located. Upon his death it was sold to John McFadden, who later
donated the land for the cemetery.

He was killed by George W. Newton.
