Probably because they didn't believe in slavery.

Arkansas Gazette May 31, 1913 - Rison, May 30 Nathan Smith, 76 years old, former county treasurer, died last night at the home of his son, C.P. Smith of Rison. He was county treasurer for eight years and was prominent in Masonic circles, having been master of his home lodge for 28 years. He is survived by three sons, J.E., C.P., and P.N. of Rison, and two daughters, Mrs. N.A. McKinney and Mrs. Tiney Lewis. Funeral services were conducted today at Moore's church by the Masons. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

Has anyone heard of Boshnie in Cleveland County? I just received a listing of the 28th Wisconsin Regiment, Company "F" and it has three men listed as being from Boshnie. Being related to all three, I know they were from White Oak, Staves, The "Y" or whatever you want to call that general area. Interesting note: there were four Arkansans in the unit; three from Boshnie: Robert B. Bell, Sidney O. Bell and Albert G. Jones; and one from Pine Bluff, Gabriel Gray, colored cook. Interesting question: WHY did these three (of my relatives!) fight with the North? Jayne

Is there any way the meetings could be on a weekend? I'd love to be able to come to them, but I live in Beebe.

I forgot to tell you, I looked for the obit of J.T. Reed too. That particular issue is missing. Forever gone.

Jann, I am very interested in sharing and comparing notes on these families with you. However, right now I do not have time to focus on these families. Can we plan to get back to this later? Hope to see you July 8. Arliss Ray and Louise Mitchell have indicated they will not be able to attend. Louise had a complete knee replacement recently and is confined to the house for a while. Thanks, Lynda

Thank You.

You might check the Arkansas Gazette, The Pine Bluff Commercial (or Graphic) or the Warren Eagle Democrat. The Cleveland County newspapers that would be back that far have all disappeared.

Hello list members. Is anyone researching ROBERTSON? I'm looking for maiden name of Mary S. Robertson; wife of Jerry V. Robertson, my gg grandparents. Found them 1880, Bradley Co. census. Don't know where they before that. one of their granddaughters married O.J. Broach of Cleveland Co. Can any one tell me anything about Pete Broach, (1923-1975) son of O.J. Broach, buried Friendship Cemetery, Cleveland Co. AR. wife Eva also buried same cemetery. What was cause of death? Children? Who were Eva's parents?

No, I need help, still cannot find when, where, why Alexander Reed, b. 1866 d before 11Feb.,1902 when his son John Alexander Reed was born. Heard he was a Blacksmith so maybe kicked in head by horse or mule? His parents were Howard and Francis Reed of Miller Township. He married Paralee Stewart in Cleveland Co.,Ark 1890. Would there have been somekind of weekly newspaper back then that might have mentioned his death or obituary? Thanks for all your help.

I've see some activity, but not much. I image people are on vacation, or busy with their gardens and canning. I was surprised to see that my uncle and aunt had green beans ready for canning two weeks ago, also, that tomatoes were ripe in Warren. Our vegetables are just now blooming. I checked to make sure you were on the list, and you were, by the way. Diann
