When 'J.C.' (as he was known) and Mary first married, they moved to the
Dallas, Texas area where he worked on the railroad as a yard 'dick'. His
job was to get the bums off the box cars, put a ball and chain on them
and force them to work. He did this until one day he pulled his brother,
Willie Younger, off the train. He put the ball and chain on Willie, but
later that evening he released Willie and quit the railroad right after
that. He really didn't like the job.
J.C. then moved his family to Newark, Arkansas, around 1925. They lived
about three miles from town, right next to the White River, at a place
called 'the crossroads'. He bought and sold livestock and also worked
the commodities market, buying cotton futures. He did pretty well at it.
He was also a Marshall in Newark. A page from his arrest book shows
where he fined Robert McNary on Feb. 13, 1930 for being drunk on Sunday.
The fine was $10 plus $2.20 for the Mayor and $1 for his costs. Robert
McNary had 60 days to pay the fine. Robert was a close friend of J. C.'s
son, Harold Payne Younger. From the other entries on the page, the town
drunks certainly contributed to the salary of the Mayor and the town
Marshall.
