The importance of wellness exams after 50

Seniors are a growing and increasingly prosperous demographic. As the senior population increases, a greater emphasis must be placed on keeping aging individuals healthy. Wellness checks are important at any age, but they bear even more significance as individuals grow older.

Killing Clayton

John Middleton Clayton, the brother of General Powell Clayton, is considered by some historians to be the namesake of Clayton County, now Clay. John Clayton was a well-liked and respected Republican operative from Jefferson County. He tragically found his greatest renown when he was brutally assassinated in 1889 while investigating a stolen Conway County ballot box that helped defraud him of his U.S. Congressional race. The assassination remained purposely unsolved and the perpetrators were shielded by the local law enforcement, many of which were involved themselves. The corrupt election of 1888 and Clayton’s assassination cast a long shadow over the history of Arkansas, extinguished an emerging political revolution, and shackled the state to more than a century of nearly-unbroken one-party rule. To honor the legacy of one of Clay County’s possible namesakes, this is the story of John Clayton’s life and death.
