Napoleon B. Raulston, postmaster at Tyronza, is a native of Georgia, and a son of William Evander Raulston, also of Georgia birth, who is now living in Crittenden County. The latter was married in Georgia, before coming to this State, to Mary Tate, who died in 1855 in Prairie County, to which he first moved, leaving two children, of whom Napoleon was the eldest. The subject of this sketch was born July 24, 1853, and was reared in this State from the age of two to thirteen years. At the latter period he went to Tennessee and remained a number of years, being married in November, 1878, to Miss Alice Robins, who was born in Shelby County, Tenn., in 1861. They then moved to Arkansas, and have been residents of Cross County since 1884, having moved here from St. Francis County at that time. They are the parents of three children: Willie G., Howard E. and Thomas B. Mr. Raulston has held the office of justice of the peace, and is now postmaster of this place. He has no land of his own but has control of the farm on which he lives. He always voted the Democratic ticket, and cast his first presidential vote for Samuel J. Tilden in 1876.
