Fran, LOL on remembering ! ...Just keep on keeping on..!!!! About the year of the supposedly hanging, I have found the woman I believe to be his widow, in the 1870 Sharp Co. Arkansas census, Piney Fork Twp, on pg. 32, ..... 19-128... Harriet Ring listed as head of household...with her children. I do not know the year of the hanging for sure, during the civil war years I would assume.

Hi, Fran. Do you post items from your book? If so, could you post information regarding Lasiter, John estate, 41. Thanks. Alicia

I would have thought that the shoot out between sheriff Champ Crawford and Jimmie Wilson which occurred about 1942 would have been classified as a duel although I think the formality was minimal.

Van Buren Press Van Buren, Arkansas - Crawford County August 17, 1889 ANOTHER SHORT CHAPTER Walnut Ridge Telephone: Powell Clayton pretends to be greatly outraged at the murder of his brother John at Plummerville. While we deplore the death of John M. Clayton, and while we condemn the cowardly assassin that killed him, yet we do not see why Powell Clayton should be surprised or shocked. It was Powell Clayton's militia that raided Conway County, and burned beautiful home, fences, and barns. It was here that Clayton's men too old man Cosey from his home and killed him without trial or clergy, and then they robbed and burned his property. It was near Plummerville that Clayton's militia too Tom Birchfield, Joe Jackson, and Cal Hooper from their beds into the swamps at midnight and executed them without show of a trial. And in the face of this murderous history Powell Clayton talks about the people of Arkansas and especially of Conway County, as if he had not caused the death and destruction written upon the pages of Arkansas' history. When the fair name of our people is slandered and traduced, it is but just that the crimes and characters of our traducers be made public. Fran Alverson Warren

Van Buren Press Van Buren, Arkansas- Crawford County July 27, 1889 A SERIOUS CHARGE Little Rock Gazette: Sheriff Shelby, of Conway County, is now in the city on business with the Governor and told a Gazette reporter Wednesday that he had under arrest at Morrilton, Clint Drummond and wife, colored, and a traveling doctor named Flood, charged with a very grave crime. The three were charged with committing an abortion on a colored school teacher, Martha Little of Morrilton. She was delivered of a child by foul means and by unskilled hands, which resulted in death to both child and mother, the victim of Drummond who attempted to conceal his guilt by this unnatural act. The Drummond's and the doctor, who has been in Morrilton only about 10 days, are in jail at that place held for murder. Fran Alverson Warren

Van Buren Press Van Buren, Arkansas -Crawford County June 29, 1889 AS STRANGE AS FICTION Fayetteville Democrat: Mrs. Gen. H. E. Williamson, wno with her husband is spending the summer at Uncle Zeb Pettigrew's tells a little war incident that is as strange as fiction. It occurred in Mississippi. General Williamson was with the confederate army in the Southern part of the State when three federal soldiers called at the Williamson mansion for breakfast which Mrs. Williamson did not hesitate to give them. Before leaving one of them asked her where her husband was and she told him. He replied that he was going down in that country and asked what he must tell her husband in case he met him. She said you have been very gentlemanly here and tell Henry, my husband, when he takes you prisoner not to be too hard on you." It turned out that same federal soldier was wounded in battle and was carried off the field by a confederate soldier whom he asked if he knew General Williamson. He told him he did and that the general was his brother in law. The wounded man requested that he be sent for an when General Williamson arrived he delivered the message sent by his wife. It is needless to add that the wounded federal soldier was kindly taken care of. He recovered from his wounds and is still alive and corresponds with the family to this day. Fran Alverson Warren

Van Buren Press Van Buren, Arkansas Crawford County June 22, 1889 John Williams was shot and fatally wounded on Sunday at Emory Church, ten miles east of Sardis, Miss., by Mrs. Hattie Campbell. The shooting occurred after religious services and Williams died the following morning. The provocation for the killing was a charge made by Williams that he had criminal intercourse with Mrs. Campbell several months ago, upon which statement a bill of divorce is now pending.

Some things never change, do they? Van Buren Press Van Buren, Arkansas -Crawford County June 15, 1889 Oliver Springs, June 11, 1889 Editor Press: I seen in your columns that M. E. Henderson comes out in reply to my communication of May 21, in which he says it is imprudent to bring such a matter before the public through the press. I think as much; but if it has not been for what he said here publicly I would have never said a word. He said here before a large audience that I had used language too bad for a christian man to think of, much less use. Mr. Editor, I desire to make a few brief statements through your columns, I will be as brief as possible to give the facts of the case. In the first place he says I have made misrepresentations- I do not know what it is; I can substantiate every word I have said. He has me charged of refusing to let the school have water from my spring. That is correct. I now will give the readers of this my reasons for doing so. Two years ago the directors hired Mr. Meadows to teach our public school. I told Meadows that I had went to the expense to enclose the spring, and I requested him not to allow the little fellows to slop around the spring and send the large pupils after water. He promised me that he would; but in a short time things came up that resulted in a difference, afterwards he violated his promise, but they got water all the same; also the winter school afterwards he taught. In the meanwhile, they had organized a Literary Society, which would meet from one to two nights in a week, and some mornings after they would meet it would put anyone in mind of some of the alleys in Van Buren to look around the spring in the morning, and I became very tired of it. The people got dissatisfied with Mr. Meadows as a teacher and wanted the directors to employ some other man, but they would not. They entered into a contract with Mr. Meadows before the annual school meeting. Mr. Henderson said at that meeying that he wanted the people to say whether they wanted him to teach or not as he was one of the directors he would like for the responsibility to be take off him, he moving at that time that the contract was made and signed by one of the directors, and only one has ever signed it yet, which was all illegal. At this time they knew that I had said if they hired him that I would not allow him to get water. I was told that one or two of the directors went to Squire Brewer, thinking that they could compel by law to give them water. Then they brought it to the church, was tried a second time and sustained both times. When I was on trial the second time I asked the church to deal with me according to the teachings of the Scripture and I would be satisfied. It was then voted out of the church never to be brought back again. Then I was advised by my brethren to go to another church, which I did so in order to live in peace. In regard to the Scripture he quoted that is all good in its place, but if a man does practice what he preaches then I have confidence in him. I have never found any scripture requiring a man to feed thine enemy or give him drink unless he asks you- they never asked me the first time, they tried to compel me. "But who has this world's good and seeth his brother have need and who shutteth up the bowels of Compassion, how dwelleth the love of God in him.-" 1st John, III, XVII. The brother has forgotten how he treated his father and stepmother or he would have never mentioned this. He speaks of water as one of the good things of this world. He need not kick for the water that runs out of into the road in thirty yards of the school house is better than the water he was raised on. I am satisfied I have accomplished what I set out to do- that was to convince the people that I wanted to do what was right. This is my last time to mention this through the press, if anything ever comes up after this I will just let it go, for he is making friends for me and has for the last two years. I have been told that parties have prayed to God to sink this spring, but I have one consolation, that the prayers of the wicked prevaileth nothing. Someone, the second Sunday in May, put a lot of quick silver in the spring- that was not done with any good will toward me. He told me that he would reply and give the facts of the case, and if he had, I would not have had to do so. Yours truly, C. C. Waters Fran Alverson Warren
