Civil war, as a private in a Mississippi regiment of volunteers in the Confederate service. Marshal J. Bouldin was reared on the home plantation and secured his educational training in the public schools, while he was variously employed up to the time of being called into official service. He is an uncompromising advocate of the principles of the Democratic party and has been an active worker in its cause. In January, 1896, he entered upon his duties as clerk of the chancery court of Coahoma county, serving in this capacity until January, 1904, representing a period of eight years, his long tenure of the position being the best evidence of the appreciative estimate placed upon his services. In retiring from this office he entered forthwith upon that which he now occupies, having been elected sheriff and tax collector of Coahoma county for a term of four years, beginning in January, 190-4. In this important office he has shown much ability and discrimination and is giving a most satisfactory administration. Mr. Bouldin is one of the best known and most popular members of the Knights of Pythias in the State, and at the assembly of the grand lodge of the order in 1902 he was elected grand chancellor, serving one year and retiring in May, 1903. He and his wife are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian church. On July 22, 1890, Mr. Bouldin was united in marriage to Miss Helen Alcorn, daughter of George R. and Mary (Cooper) Alcorn, of Friar Point, Coahoma county, and they have four children: Inez, Florence Alcorn, Marshal Jones, Jr., and Alary
