At the end of the Civil War, Daniel P. Faulkner and his friend Tobe Jackson were prisoners of war at Chicago. They made their way back to Cherokee County, Alabama, which had been devastated by the war. Daniel decided to go to Arkansas, where there was land to be homesteaded and where his uncle Luke Faulkner lived. He arrived soon after 1865 and cleared land to farm on what was later known as the John Parker Place, located atop Eldridge Hill on Highway 4 west of Umpire. In a year or so, he moved to the Saline River near Luke Faulkner's home and about three miles east of Umpire. He built a cellar, the a smokehouse and finally a house. Hiram and Lavina Faulkner and other members of the family arrived in a Texas-bound wagon train in 1869.
