Biographical Note

Ira D. Oglesby, Jr. was the son of Ira Dancy Oglesby and Louise Isabell Miller, who moved to Fort Smith from Mississippi in 1893. After his admission to the Arkansas bar, Oglesby joined the Fort Smith law partnership that his father had formed with William Ben Cravens. After the elder Oglesby's death, however, the partnership was short-lived, being dissolved at the end of 1921. As an active member of the Democratic Party, Oglesby worked with Charles Brough's 1916 gubernatorial campaign. Throughout World War I, Oglesby served on Arkansas's Western District Draft Exemption Board.
