Family and friends will gather next week to remember Little Rock attorney Herbert C. Rule III, a former state legislator, one-time candidate for U.S. Congress and leader on the Little Rock School Board.
Rule died Monday, family members said in posts on social media and to news outlets. He was 87.
A cause of death was not provided.
"In the midst of the tornado and trauma this weekend, we said goodbye to my grandfather Herb Rule," Camille Rule, his granddaughter posted Monday on Facebook. "He was a Yale Alumni, choral singer, performer, active member at Second Presbyterian Church, tennis player, community member, and loved his grandkids. He passed peacefully, and we are so glad he’s in a better place, no longer suffering."
Ruebel Funeral Home confirmed Wednesday that services for Rule are set for Saturday, April 15, at Second Presbyterian Church in Little Rock. Further details were not immediately available.
In 1966, Rule, a Democrat from Little Rock, challenged state Rep. Paul Van Dalsem, a Republican from Perryville, for a seat in the Arkansas House. Van Dalsem was chair of a House committee that targeted integrationists and "subversives" and pushed some of the segregation bills through the legislative body for Gov. Orval E. Faubus, according to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas. Not On Herb Shirt
