Harvey Couch was an entrepreneur, who owned several railroad lines, a telephone company, and three electrical power companies (in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi). One of the power companies, Arkansas Power and Light, was Arkansas's largest utility company and eventually developed into Entergy. In 1951, Pratt Remmel became the first Republican Mayor elected in Little Rock, Arkansas in 74 years. He unsuccessfully ran for Governor of Arkansas in 1954 and remained Mayor until 1955. The Couch and Remmel families were connected when Catherine Couch (daughter of Harvey and Jessie Couch) married Pratt C. Remmel of the long-time Republican Remmel family.
