Description
Book Synopsis: Established in 1882, Marmaduke played a big role in the history of Greene County. A booming lumber, cotton, and railroad own in its early heyday. In 1914, the timber kept the people here and the business was booming. A lumber mill, a stave mill, a sawmill and the large lumber and cut timber distributors provided employment for the residents. The cotton farming industry was hit hard during the Great Depression. The banks closed, and the town of Marmaduke lost businesses and, later, citizens when the jobs ran out. Many moved north to look for work and a new way of life.
