The father died on 10 March 1906, at the age of 78 years, while his wife's demise occurred in 1862. In 1851 Smith Matlock removed from his native state to Missouri and buying land there was engaged in farming until the outbreak of the Civil War. Putting aside all personal interests he entered the service and was active for the greater part of the time under Shelby. He started out to take part in Price's Raid but was cut off. He did however participate in most of the important battles of that war and lacked by 18 days of serving the entire 4 years. In April of 1868 he came to Arkansas to Marion Co. and homesteaded 80 acres. He cleared the land him self and built a log house and some outbuildings.
Mr. Matlock was married three times. Sometime after the death of his first wife, the mother of our subject, he married Miss Emaline Jacob, whose demise occurred three years later. His third wife was Harriett Hand, who is also deceased,
Four children were born to the first union: Luke, Nancy and Mat, all deceased; Sanford being the only one living.
