I am looking for an obituary or other item about the murder of William Henderson Vicars, dentist, in 1892 in Little Rock area. Where would I begin looking for this information? What paper would likely have such an obituary or item? Thanks for any help in this matter. Julia Goodlett DeHart
Julia, I will do for you what I promised Janet for her query: My memory says I have searched all the files I know about for your Dentist, but what the heck--I will do it again. The Arkansas Gazette is on microfilm at the Arkansas History Commission & State Archives, the Central Arkansas Library in Little Rock and many universities and colleges. It is indexed in typescript from 1819-1899 & 1960 by Librarian Shannon Henderson at Arkansas Technical University in Russellville, AR. We have this microfilm at Harding University in Searcy where I am a professor emeritus, and I have made myself a note to check the index on my next trip to the campus. I will check the index for 'Deaths,' 'Murder,' and the surname. This will discover it, if it exists. With the date, page and column locating the article, you can order it from the History Commission for $5 in AR or $10 out of state. If I can print it here I will, but will need your snail address in order to mail the actual copy to you. Weekends are notoriously busy for me, but I will make the search within 5 days--5 hours, if possible.
