Hello List, My Grandmother and Grandfather lived in Arkansas during the 1930's. The communities that they lived in were, Glazy Pole and Oak Hill. I am trying to find them in the 1930 census. Does anyone know of these two places? Do you know what Enumeration District they would be listed in? Thank You For Your Time, Eileen

New Era Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas April 9, 1864 THE SITUATION Bushwhackers At Work. Before ever the leaves are out and spring has fairly set in, the bloody, hellish mode of warfare, bushwhacking, has commenced in good earnest. No soon was the Army of the Frontier well on its way southward- and the country between it and the Arkansas River swarms with bushwhackers. Many murders have already been committed within the last few days, and not a single loyal man is safe for a moment outside of garrisoned towns. One of the most brutal late murders was that of Squire Barnard, a respectable, inoffensive old farmer, living about 8 miles south of this place. He was called to his door at night and shot through the breast, the ball passing through both lungs. Mr. Snider, one of our Representatives, who is living but a few hundred yards from Mr. Barnard’s, would have met the same fate but for his being in town that night. We also learn that Mr. Oliver and his son on James’ Fork was killed one day this week. It is useless to disguise the fact, that unless the proper and necessary steps are speedily taken, the Union men in the country will be exterminated or driven from their homes.

I am looking for John P. Kennedy. Moved to Perry County after 1850 from Indiana. He was killed by civil war solders, witch side is unknown, after 1860. His wife Mary Ann Ford Kennedy left immediately after his death and went back to Indiana. He has been very hard to find because none of the family stayed in Arkansas, that I know of. All of the children were pretty young at the time and Mary Ann took all of them back to Indiana. There is a cemetery just north of the property line that I believed belonged to John P. Kennedy called Pleasant Grove Cemetery. If anybody could tell me where to find a list of those buried there I would really appreciate it. Also if someone could send me an e-mail address or snail mail address to the County Clerk of Aplin or Perryville. Thank You Gary Kennedy

New Era Fort Smith, Sebastian County, Arkansas March 5, 1864 Head Quarters District of the Frontier, Department of Arkansas, Fort Smith, Ark., March 4, 1864. General Orders, No. 5. Stealing, pillaging and burning fence rails must and shall be stopped. It is demoralizing to the army, injurious to the government, and disastrous to peaceable citizens. The farms must be tilled, and crops raised. A commander is justified in taking that which is necessary to sustain his men and animals, but it must be done by his order only, and he must give receipts, and account for what he takes, so that loyal people may receive a just compensation. If troops destroy fences, plunder houses, kill or take away stock, the value of the property taken or destroyed shall be stopped against such troops on their respective pay rolls. Wagon Masters shall be held accountable for the conduct of the teamsters and all others under them, and if either are guilty of the outrages named, they shall be discharged from the service without pay. If officers do not use all means in their power to prevent these evils, stoppages of their pay shall be made against them for the value of the property taken or destroyed, equally with the men, in proportion to their salary; and furthermore, such officers will be recommended to Department Head Quarters for dismissal from service. In order to ascertain more fully who commit these outrages, every commander of an escort or of an expedition shall furnish to these Head Quarters in writing immediately on his return, a full and accurate account of each day’s march, give the date of the month, stating on whose plantation he camped at night, what depredations were committed, if any, what property was brought in, if any, and what property was taken by his order, and will hand in his report in person. Each officer will, before starting on an expedition, call at these Head Quarters and procure a copy of these orders. By order of Brigadier General Thayer, Wm S Whitten, Captain and Assistant Adjutant General. Fran Alverson Warren e-mail: [email protected] 479-369-2703 http://www.crawfordcountyarkansas.net/
