I am searching for the obituary for William Lafayette Robinson born 12 July 1850. He supposedly drowned at the age of 9 or 10. I do not find him in the 1860 census for Dover,Pope County, AR. If anyone has run across this name in a cemetary listing or newspaper article I would appreciate knowing where he is buried or what newspaper it was in.

Hi Im looking for my relatives or information on the Stephens and Blackman families...Ezra Stephens was born in Hackett about1885 and he was a coal miner..wondering what coal mines are in that area ...and his wife Julia Blackman (brother named Cal)..was born in Greenwood about 1892...They had 4 children all born in Hackett...Gertrude(1914) Ezra Harold (1917) Frances Pauline ( 1920) and Bernard Lee ( 1923)...There are supposed to be alot of relatives in the Ft. Smith area...The family left for California in the 1930's...does anyone know of this family or relatives of...or can you help me find a census with Ezra and Julia's parents listed...probably 1890..or 1900....thank you Kris Hitchings

Hello: If anyone has access to the actual census records-not just the index-for either 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 for Jackson County, Arkansas, please look for my grandfather and his family. His name was John Anner Cunningham. John Anner or J. A. Cunningham who, according to his Sand Springs/Tulsa obituary in 1934 was born in or near Newport in Jackson County, Arkansas on December 23, 1859. Where he was born in Jackson County may later have become a part of Woodruff County. It is believed that he lived in Arkansas until 1881 when he moved to Oklahoma. He had one brother, George Washington or G. W. Cunningham and a sister whose name may have been Fannie or Alice. His father's name may have been Ben and his mother's name may have been Kate. I have been trying to get a line on John for over 35 years without success. John, George, and Fannie may have been orphans after the Civil War. The father of John, George and Fannie Cunningham may have been one of the following men in Jackson County: 1850 Census-David-Jefferson Township; 1860 Census-James-Bay Township; 1860 Census-P-Jefferson Township; 1870 Census-James H. - Buckinridge or Breckinridge Township; 1870 Census-H Jacksonport Township; 1870 Census-Josiah-Village Township. Any assistance you can give me will be appreciated. Bruce Cunningham

Who can I contact about the Arkansas Death Index. Does anyone have a telephone >numer, address, e-mail, fax #? Please advise. >Thanks. >Bruce

Trying to locate information on my ggrandfather, supposedly by the name of Ed/Edmon/Edmond or Edward BRESHEARS, who was in the areas of Garland and Montgomery County, specifically around Avant, Buckville or Story between August 1902-March 1905. He supposedly married a Julia Minton, but no record has been found of their marriage and Julia married a David Robertson, in Garland County in 1905, of which we have a record, thanks to Sharon Minton Hill and her continued help. Not sure if Julia was divorced from or widowed by BRESHEARS. Thanks for any help. Eva Breshears larev@uswest.net

I am researching my family roots. The names of family members in Arkansas are Luther Archibald, Lilly Hatcher(adopted cherokee ), Slatton, Gill, and Moore. I believe my great grandparents lived around the Corning , Paragould area. My grandparents Nell Mae Moore Gill and Henry Obe Gill lived with Uncle Clyde Gill on Corning lake in a brown house with a very large breezeway and very large front porch. We fished in Corning lake. I would appreciate any information and will share what I have. Sincerely, Diane Gill Fritson

Russell Baker would like to recall the message, "[AGS] Death Look-up".

I know i've been posting this in the past.. but I'd thought I'd continue to post it.. hoping others would recognize the names.. year is 1930 Corbett Mckennie age 37 West helena Arkansas.. Claudia Aldine Mills age 16 West helena Arkansas.. now West Phillips They had a child name Dorothy Lorene Mckennie born August 29th, 1930 in West Helena Arkansas.. Unknown if Corbett Mckennie and Claudia Mills were married but they had a child together.. there was no birth certificate for that time.. The delayed birthcertificate was not created by Ms Mills until August 3rd, 1944 in Lawrence Missouri where Ms Mills name was different and she had been married to Mr. O.W. Gross... birth place Lawrence Missouri...which is in the Vernon County Seat.. I'm stuck on the Gross family and Ms Mills parents unknown info.. I've posted this info on alot of different mailling list hoping to get a bite. I havent had much luck with census area or any other type of lookups so if anyone has any of these names in their listing let me know thanks.. Ms Mills could be listed as C A Mills or under C A Gross not sure.. thanks Sam ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Could someone please look up any death information on Ambrose Clark probably died in the early 1900s. Maybe Washington or Sebastian County. He was married to LueAnn (maiden name/Lewallen) Thank you, alice Researching: CLARK, BOOTH, BYRUM, DAVID

Someone posted an inquiry a few days ago regarding a man who had been found dead and the body was never claimed. This was in Prescott, Arkansas. I don't remember all the details. I did see him once at the Cornish Funeral Home. He was buried a few years ago. You can probably find more details by contacting the Nevada County Museum in Prescott. The man was affectionately named Old Mike. Sue Lambert

Hi About the man who died in Arkansas. I had heard this story while living in Arkansas as a child. So a couple of years ago while my husband and I were visiting relatives in No. Little Rock, I had my mother tell me the story again. This is a true story, the funeral home did bury the man. It was the funeral home in Prescott, Ar. I went in the funeral home and asked to see the man and they told me they had buried him several years ago. He was still unclaimed. To the best of their knowledge he was an African-American. If you call the funeral home they will tell you the story. Sorry I don't remember the name,but it shouldn't be to hard to find, it's probably the only one in Prescott.

Junction City, Arkansas CEMETERY

The death certificate of a relative states that he died in the State Hospital and is buried on the grounds. This was in 1922. Anyone know where it was located and if a cemetery is still there. Thanks for any help.
