J.J. Moseley died October 25, 1895, aged 65 years. Bro. Moseley was born in South Carolina January 21, 1830; came to Arkansas in 1851, and joined the Bethesda Church in Calhoun County in 1855. After a few years of devoted work in that church he moved to Bradley County and joined Bethel Church and was chosen deacon. He was in the organization of Judson Association. Later he moved to New Edinburgh (sic) where he remained a faithful and influential Christian until death. He was a devoted husband, loving father and respected by all who knew him. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved ones. By: W.H. Cash Arkansas Baptist Advance January 15, 1896 page 12 col 2 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Library Lady, Want to add the Community of Crowder to your list. It was located in Saline Township near Croak.

Ark. Gazette August 18, 1929, Rison, Aug 17 - James Edward Terry, farmer, aged 43, was shot and instantly killed last night, two miles east of Rison, by Ben McDade, age 37. McDade is a share cropper on the Terry farm and there had been some trouble between the two families for several days. McDade's wife had left her home and had gone to the Terry home. Mrs. Terry, Mrs. McDade and Mr. Terry had gone to the McDade home to get Mrs. McDade's clothing. When they arrived at the house they found the doors locked and had started to enter through a window when McDade came up. Angry words passed between them, and McDade fired one shot, using a shotgun loaded with buckshot. Almost the entire load struck Terry, killing him instantly. McDade surrendered to Sheriff C.R. Morrison immediately after the killing. An inquest was held and McDade's preliminary hearing was set for Tuesday morning. Terry is survived by his wife; four sons, Buck, Robert, Calvin and Virgil, all of Rison; three daughters, Nettie Terry of Rison, Mrs. Lillian Neely and Mrs. Alma Rauls of Herbine. (anyone researching the McDade family?) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos -- now, 100 FREE prints! http://photos.yahoo.com

Thought you might enjoy this article. Will later post the remainder. Eagle Democrat Warren, Arkansas 1940 Business History of Warren Dates Back Seventy-five Years, to 1865. River Boats, Ox Teams Hauled Goods. In August, 1912, the late John E. Bradley contributed a series of interesting articles about Warren at the close of the Civil War and which were published in the Democrat News, then edited by W.G. Clugston. A digest of the articles is given here: When the Civil War ended in 1865, Warren was devoid of business life and industrial activity. Only one store was open--Dr. Swain's Drug Store, located where now stands the Bailey Drug. The first new store opened was by a Sutler in May, 1865, and for the benefit of Federal soldiers who garrisoned the town. It was located in the Van Valkenburgh storehouse at the site of Hankins Hardware. here for the first time in four years boys and girls had a chance to see candy. Plain candy cost seventy-five cents per pound and sugar sold for fifty cents. In the building occupied by the Sutler store, soon a jew, Charlie Bloom, operated a place. In the early summer of 1865 Major Bratton operated a saloon and billiard parlor on the present site of the telephone exchange. T.M. Goodwin and W.H. Wheeler then operated a business where stands the Owens two-story brick building. Another grocery and saloon was opened by Captain Wheless and Finney Jackson just north of the county jail. J.N. Hamilton started business on the site of Hurley Hardware. Saloons in those days were called groceries. In 1867 Martin and Goodwin operated a general store in a two-story log house. In 1869 Wheeler and Ederington began business, and a year or two later built the first brick storehouse, which is now occupied by Ederington. In 1866 J.W. Johnson started a tin shop and in it he made many a copper still for the use of plentiful local distillers. There was not a single church in the community. The Methodists and Presbyterians had services occasionally in the courthouse. In 1867 and 1868 the Methodist built their first church. When the first Baptist church was built by Rev. Ben Hyatt in 1870, while the building was being constructed the framework collapsed and but for a miracle, all of the ten workmen would have been seriously injured or killed. There were two hotels here, one operated by Major Jim Bradley, and the other by Captain Jenkins, who was succeeded by Isham Cone. A terrible cyclone swept the town on one night in June, 1866, and blew away many of the buildings. There was no loss of life, but the contents of the smokehouse for the Bradley Hotel were blown all along the town branch. A new top buggy left standing on the site of the East School grounds was found a day or two later lodged in a tree a mile and a half east of town and without great material injury. The entire wheat crop of Ben Webb on the W.H. Blankenship farm was destroyed. The path of the storm lay between the court square and the Blankenship farm about a mile and a half wide. At the close of the war Bradley County contained twice as much territory as at present. It extended north to within twenty miles of Pine Bluff, northwest withing four miles of Fordyce and included Kingsland. In 1873 that section of the county was taken away to form Cleveland county. As a result of this the county lost the splendid red land section and the historic site of the Battle of Mark's Mill, which was fought in May, 1864, between the armies of General Fagan, Confederate and General Steele, Federal. The cannonading in this battle was heard by those who lived in Warren during the war. Another battle was that fought at Mount Elba on Saline River twenty miles from Warren. General Dockery commanded the Confederates and General Steele, the Federals. The Confederates lost this skirmish on account of the fact the Confederate General was intoxicated. In 1865 the county civil government had ceased functioning. The civil officers had little authority during the war. "There were bands of bad men who had neither patriotism nor courage to enlist and fight in the war, but remained at home--that is, in the county--forming convenient groups of from ten to twenty in number, and lived by theft, pillage and plunder from the helpless left by those who had gone to war and from other aged and helpless citizens. That class of men were called the Gray Backs because they hid in and lived in the thick woods and cane brakes to avoid discovery by Confederate soldiers.

Ok. I'm sorry I thought I had made 2 different request one for 1893 J.W. and one for J.T. 1936. If you have the address to the Historical Society I could write them. I really appreciate what all you have done for me. If there is anyone in the group doing an Annie Reed that married a Dan Kimbrell I have a few names of their children as she was Taylor Reeds youngest sister. My Mother, Velma Lee Reed(maiden) will be 80 on June 29th has alzhiemers, so it is a bit difficult. There was another Velma Lee born in 1922 2 years later another Reed family. Take care and thanks again. P. S. Charles Sinclair is my cousin. Pat

I posted the McConnel Curry will to the Bradley Co. webpage, simply because the will is in the Bradley Co. Courthouse, and not Cleveland Co. There is also one for Thomas M. McCullough dated 1861. Think perhaps this is another Cleveland Co. connection. I will post this one too. Jann __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Reed, J.T. died in Cleveland Co. 6-21-1936 Thanks to all that helped me with this. I would know if he was the Justice of the Peace that I am looking for. Is there an Obit out for him? Any help would be appreciated. Pat

Sorry Robert, I thought you were asking for help posting. I asked Jann to post it on the site. Belinda ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
