FYI only, Ladies, I believe the William BAGWELL in Mary AIKENS' household is in following marriage: Early Marriages of Baxter County, page 27: W. A. BAGWELL to Nettie LEMANS, March 1, 1897. Nettie's name should be LEMON / LEMONS. A LEMON descendant, living in Broken Arrow, told me a few months ago, they are related to the BAGWELL family. This would be one connection, and there could be another. Bernie, the LEMONs lived at Buford, too. An elderly LEMON gentleman is in the picture of "The Buford Fair" in the Baxter County history book. Either my Aunt Cleora ROBERTSON identified him or my mother and his descendant, Ora "Mae" {McEACHERN} CLAYTON. Mae's mother was Sarah LEMON and her father was from Baxter County, too. Peggy
Bernie, the picture in the history book was same as one in possession of my Aunt Cleora {KING} ROBERTSON. More than twenty years ago, I made a negative. There are about 15 to 20 men in picture and my aunt identifies more than two named in the book. As I remember, one is LEMON; and, of course, one is my great-great-grandfather, Willliam Alexander RIDGWAY. History book caption: "The Old America Parade entry at the first Baxter County Fair, held at the Fairground, Buford, in 1911. The men range in age from 57 to 87. Man at far left waving hat is E. W. Smothers. Man standing in the center, under sign, is G. W. Anglin. To Mr. Anglin's left is G. N. Nelson." Peggy
