Alfred, know mostly as 'Little Buck' was the son of Alfred Riley Arp, Sr., and Nora Collins. Alfred, Sr., son of John and Elizabeth Jenkins Arp, was a railroader until he was in a wreck and lost his arm and leg. He learned telegraph work and did that for a number of years. He also served as Polk County County Clerk.
Siblings of Buck Jr., were Mamie who married Robert Latimore, John, Velma married Frank Lewis Fry, Lossie married a Harper, Nora married an Epperson.
Alfred Jr., married Estelle Runion and they were parents of Sarah, Alfred R., III 'Rusty', and David. In an article written by Leon Howell for the 'Polk County News', he wrote that Buck coached football and basketball at Copperhill and Benton and had been a Golden Gloves boxing champion. He stated that it was an honor to have played for Coach Arp, and that he cared deeply about his players and insisted they also do their best in class, and urged them to further their education. He concluded by saying, "Buck Arp was a character. Buck Arp was a man of character. A half century after our paths crossed I remember - and am grateful."
