Iris: Keep in mind that Arkansas did not begin keeping death records until 1914. You might use cemetery records, church records, newspaper files, and county records. However, the Sharp County courthouse burned about 1879. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Russell P.

Found in AR census 1860 and 1870 near Evening Shade P.O., Piney Forks and Franklin Twsp. in Lawrence-Sharp Co. I do not know when he died. I cannot find him in the 1880 census, so it may have been before then. Or he may have gone to the Indian Territory where some of his children are found in Spiro, LeFlore Co., OK in 1900 census. He married Rebecca Carpenter nee Clements in 1865 in Lawrence Co., OK.
