"Randolph attended Arkansas Industrial University at Fayetteville, now the University of Arkansas. He taught school for awhile, first teaching at his parent's former home town of Rocky Comfort, Mo. He then worked in a store at Natural Dam for a Mr. King who took a great interest in teaching him to be a merchant. He returned to Uniontown and in partnership with his brother, Monroe, began, "Comstock Brothers". Besides the general mercantile store, they also owned a lumber yard, cotton gin, and various farms.
He was very active in community work and supported the church and school with real help from hiring the best of teachers for the school to sweeping out the church. He was one of the Commisioners for the Free Bridge over the Arkansas. While that bridge has recently been replaced, the plaque on the old one that bears Randolph's name has been saved and will be placed in an Ark. Historical Museum. He was elected as the Crawford County State Representitive for 3 terms, 1895, 1897, and 1901. He and Temp were active in Masons and Eastern Star.
Randolph had a crippled leg, probably due to polio when he was about two. He wore a built-up shoe and used a cane. In his last years, the crippling affected more of his body but he continued working in the store and when he could no longer use his right hand, he learned to use his left. He was an astute businessman and a community leader."
