Walton's Woodrow Ross, farmer
Woodrow W. Ross Sr., like most good gardeners, would get excited in the spring about what he was going to plant.

In addition to his garden and growing tobacco, he enjoyed hunting and fishing, said his son, Woodrow Ross Jr. of Crittenden.
He also loved raising hogs.
"We still have three of them," the younger Mr. Ross said. "We'd always kill them in the fall and rend their lard."
