I really do need info on any Luther Risher. My uncle said that Luther Risher was the father of Clarence Risher known as Clarence Richards, by the census.

Does anyone connect with Rev. Alexander L. Crawford who was in Bradley Co. from around 1860 until around 1879? I know he was connected to the Culps from around Johnsville. He preached at the courthouse in Warren on numerous occasions during and just after the Civil War. Jann --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.

I was a teen in the 60's. That was where the boys took us to scare us. I can't believe they took up the track.

Crossett wasn't the only location in Arkansas to have mysterious lights down in the woods, on the railroad tracks. I used to visit my sister, Lora Allison Ross, in Gurdon. Gurdon had the strange lights, too. This would have been in the early 40's. Gave the teenagers something to do, trying to chase the lights down. That, and hanging out at the Dairy Queen is about all there was at the time. Dot Howery

Years ago there was a story of a "light" at Crossett, on the railroad tracks. It was supposed to be the ghost of a brakeman whose head had been severed in an accident on the train. He was out there with a lantern looking for his lost head. (His head had never been found by the rescuers.) This was back in the 50's and early 60's. I even saw it one night.
