Thanks so much for this. What I am looking for is the family home of a friend. Miss Beeler was an English teacher at the Rogers High until 1961. She died a few years later. They were said to have lived on Rt 4 in Rogers and it was near the Brightwater Church. Her nephew Mark Asbell came to stay with them and my friend remembers going to visit them when he was very young. He remembered the house was near the church or not to far. Thanks for any help you might provide us. Caren McNeill >From: "Phil Smiley" <hsmiley@mc2k.com> >Reply-To: arbenton@rootsweb.com >To: "Ark.
