In Memory of
the Honorable William J. Driver
Former Circuit Judge and Congressman, a lifelong citizen of
Osceola, Arkansas, born March 2, 1873, died October 1, 1948.
As a member of the Rivers and Harbors and Flood Control
Committees of the Congress of the United States, he shaped and
by his superb leadership, caused the enactment of laws which
curbed the mighty Mississippi, the St. Francis, and other rivers
of this area and minimized the danger of devastating floods.
Recognized as the foremost authority on drainage and flood
control, he was the St. Francis Basin's most valued citizen.
His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him, that
nature might stand up and say to all the world, "This was a
man!"
Erected by the people of the St. Francis Basin and the Osecola
Bar Association August 11, 1959 A.D. |
