Hello list members, I have found some very interesting and entertaining letters from World War I soldiers in the 1918 issues of the Cleveland County Herald lately. I thought some of you might be interested in reading them so I will send them one at a time. The list has been quiet lately, and I thought this would be a nice little fall edition. Happy reading. Belinda Cleveland County Herald, August 22, 1918 CLEVELAND COUNTY BOY WRITES LETTER HOME "Somewhere in France", July 30, 1918 Dear Ones at Home- Guess you have been thinking I was dead by me not writing. I am feeling fine now, but I had a slight operation on July 19th. I think it was caused by me staying in a little old narrow trench all night during a German bombardment, we had to get in it for protection from the shrapnel, and we were all very fortunate not to get a scratch. I am still in the hospital, but able to walk as well as ever, but will have to stay in the hospital three or four weeks longer. I am glad to stay in here for we get such good treatment. We have a nice Y.M.C.A. to go to, and you have no idea how much amusement a "Y" furnishes a soldier. It seems like home to me. Well, I will have lots of interesting things to tell you all when I get home, but I am not allowed to write very much in my letters. I have been to Paris one time since I have been here. It is the most beautiful city I ever saw. I am glad to have had an opportunity of seeing this country. It will be worth so much to the ones who are fortunate enough to get back home. I heard General Pershing speak, he surely made an encouraging speech. I feel sorry for the French women and children. In one place where we were, while we would be eating the children would stand around and beg us for bread, and when we finished they would pick up all the scraps and eat them. Well, Mamma give my love to all and send me some more pictures, you can't imagine how good it makes a fellow feel to get pictures from home. I will write again soon, so don't worry about me. Your son, Jewell H. Pratt Base Hospital No. 6., A.E.F.

Hello everybody, I am new to the Cleveland County list. I am researching the following : BARRETT, My grandfather J.R. Barrett (Jim), was justice of the peace in Cleveland County for some time. He married Chasteen Frazer in 1901, his third marriage. They had 3 sons "Burney", Joe (my father), and Luther...all deceased. FRAZER, My ggrandfather David C. Frazer. I think he was born in1838 in Lincoln Co. GA. I don't know who his wife was. He had 3 children that I know of: Chasteen b.1881(my grandmother); Minnie b. 1779, who married J.M. Jeffers in Bradley Co. in 1996. (She later lived in Hartshorne ,OK. We had a letter from her from that location in 1950); David Columbus (Lum), died in Detroit just before 1950. I found a list containing "Dave Frazer", Pansy, AR in making application for Confederate pension in 1903. I really need your help if you know anything about these relatives of mine.

I have a pretty good handle on my Smiths and I felt that the information was incorrect - as confirmed by you. Thanks. If you are kin to Johnny Cash, it follows that you would have to be kin to old man Dave, also. I ain't strong enough for that. Wilkie

The only Smith I show is Kit Carson Smith 28 who married Doris Leona Cash 23 on May 3, 1935. Richard
