O.D. was born on the way to Conway in the Cadron Bottoms and he spent most of his life farming there. O.D. was a lifelong farmer who learned it from his dad and he passed it down it his son. Early in his life he worked at the shoe factory in the winter and farmed in the summer. He also worked on the Titan missile bases. He spent many years raising rice, soybeans and cattle. He endured many floods and droughts as a farmer but he persevered and never lost his love for farming. Later in life O.D. developed a hobby of collecting and restoring antique cars and antique tractors. He enjoyed going to car and tractor shows, and he watched them on television when he couldn’t go to them. He planted a much bigger garden than was ever needed because he liked watching things grow.

He worked on these hobbies as hard as he did on the farm. He loved dogs and always had plenty of them around, most of them strays and wanderers. As his health declined, he would drive over to the farm in his jeep, park and just enjoy the sights of harvest.
