Jann, I live out of state. If you find any information about these surnames, I would be happy. RING HAMILTON DAVENPORT Thanks, Ginny

Johanne, I will do my best. There was a newspaper in Washington, Hempstead county, one in Camden, Ouachita county (Edgar Allen Poe worked on it for a time) and one in Arkadelphia, Clark county. All of these probably carried a brief story. The state paper was good about picking up such stories. Patience, please.

Thank you for the mention of John Rice. I am not sure if this is my John Rice, but it is the right area and the right time period. If you run across anything else on John or H. P.

I am looking for information concerning a shooting that involved Henry Black. The shooting occured about 1888 as his younger daughter was born in August, 1888. This event occured in Hope, Hempstead County, Arkansas. Can anyone tell me if there was a newspaper in Hempstead County during this time period. Henry was killed and left a wife and 2 daughters. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you, Johanne Moore bjmoore510@msn.com

Would like to know if there were any articles written on the murder of Seth Franklin "Frank" Perrymore in Logan Co. AR On Sept. 1, 1892. Thanks in advance for any info you might be able to share. Neosha

Van Buren Press Van Buren, Arkansas- Crawford County September 20 1890 THE STEVENS MURDER Fort Smith Call: Esq. Harrower, of Webb City, Franklin County, was in the city Monday. He resides near the scene of last Friday's murder. On Friday evening last, the evening of the murder, John Washington, a colored boy from the vicinity of the killing came to the city and told Mr. Anderson of Anderson & Wright, that Esq. Stevens had been killed by "Seeb" Smith, and that it grew out of Smith having heard that Stevens was getting up a crowd to hickory-whip him (Smith). The story of the killing as related is briefly this: On Friday morning last as Esq. Stevens was seated in the front room of Smith's house about four miles from Webb City, and "Seeb" and his half brother, on the portico, Esq. Stevens was shot by "Seeb" and died instantly. The wound was large enough to admit of a man's hand, and the buckshot from the shot gun tore its way through his heart and right lung, making a ghastly wound. The half brother gave the alarm and "Seeb" Smith's premises were surrounded by a posse and he was captured and taken to jail at Ozark. The half brother was the only eye witness outside the murderer. He states that the only words he heard uttered by Stevens were, "You don't think I would have anything to do with anything of that kind?" when "Seeb" replied, "Get out of my house G- d-you!" when he immediately fired. The half brother is held by Esq. Harrower as a witness. The country is very much excited over the cold blooded murder, for such they deem it, and the mob law is feared. "Seeb" Smith does not bear a very good reputation in the neighborhood. The half brother had only arrived in the country two or three days before the killing. Fran Alverson Warren

Betty, Biscoe is a little hamlet of 500 people in Prairie County near the county seat, DeValls Bluff. It has been known also as Fredonia and Surrounded Hill in earlier times. You will have to give a date for the murder for anyone to locate information on that. Always try to give a NAME, DATE, EVENT (in this case, murder) and PLACE. There is a Biscoe Cemetery. There is no telephone listings for any church in Biscoe. Prairie County Cemeteries have likely been listed. Try: Arkansas Genealogical Society PO Box 908 Hot Springs AR 71902-0908 For this kind of detailed information, you need to check the Prairie county web site on <www.USGenWeb.org> then select Arkansas, then select Prairie county.

Are any of the Newspapers from around the Fort Smith area? Would be interested in any obit or mention of Mollie Golightly in May 1913. She lived in Hackett Area, Sebastian County. Thanks for all the good writeups. I enjoy each one. Keep looking for my ancestors' names. Donna

Jann, thank you for your kindness! We really need you! My GGrandfather, John W. Cox is on the 1860 AR., Pulaski Co., Mineral Township Census, with his family. I have seen several writing on a John W. Cox - minister, bondsman, etc. If you should run across a John W. Cox, please publish it, I would be so grateful! Merry Christmas, and thank you!

Can you please send me the addresses for Arkansas Surnames and for Arkansas Sawmills? Stephanie Shurley kengirl57@aol.com San Antonio, Texas

You are certainly correct in your assumptions. If he was a representative of any kind, then I "bet" his death was recorded by the state papers, and more than likely in the Arkansas Methodist Newspaper. If you will email me off the list then I think we might be able to solve your problem, or at least we can give it a whirl!!

To give you an idea of what gems can be found in this newspaper, I thought I would post one of the "shorter" obits. This particular newspaper is one of the best sources for obituaries in the the state. Oct. 28, 1903: WOMACK - Dorinda Womack was born August 23, 1823; professed religion in July, 1846; joined the M. E. Church, South, then, and was married to Lewis Mason, January 18, 1858; died September 17, 1903. She was a faithful worker in the church and the Woman's Missionary Society; was made a life member of the same July 18, 1890. She was faithful as a wife, mother and stepmother. She delighted in visiting and waiting on the sick, and we think she has heard the Savior say, "She had done what she could." So we sorrow not as having no hope. Her mind gave way two years ago, so she left no dying testimony, but we do not mind that. We know how she lived, and that is enough. I would say to all, "Let us live faithfully as she lived, and meet her where we will never say farewell. By: James W. Mason Larkin, Arkansas (does anyone know where Larkin is located?) _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com

Hi folks!! My name is Jann Woodard and I am posting to this list because of Fran Warren's invitation to share old newspaper articles. I am an avid researcher of old Arkansas newspapers and have quite a collection of articles from the Arkansas Gazette, Arkansas Methodist Newspaper, Arkansas Baptist Advance, Arkansas Evangel and other county and local newspapers. I will try to post something each day, but oftentimes in my old age I forget from one day to the next what I promised the day before! <g> This article was found in the Arkansas Gazette, April 20, 1915: Searcy, Ark. April 18 - Following an entertainment and dance at Georgetown, a small town on the Missouri and North Arkansas railroad, south of Searcy, Saturday night, a row ensued, which resulted in the death of Walter Cotham, 30, white married man. Charged as an accessory in the tragedy, C. J. Owens, 32, white, was arrested there yesterday morning by Deputy Sheriffs J. F. Williams and H. B. Rogers and was brought to Kensett on a speeder and on to Searcy, where he was lodged in jail, awaiting further developments, which, it is believed, will incriminate at least one other person for whom a search is being made by officers. According to reports reaching here from the isolated community, Cotham was killed in town near the fish docks and carried a distance of more than 100 yards and thrown into White river. Up to noon today his body had not been recovered. Since his incarceration in jail here Owens has offered no explanation as to the cause of the killing. _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
