Robert died 1937 in Marvell, Phillips Co., AR. Ida married Roy Monroe Davis, b 1895 IL, and moved to IL. Are there any connections out there?

March 10, 1906: Rison - Failing in their attempt to burn the Cleveland county jail at Rison, two prisoners broke out of prison and are at large. At 11 o'clock in the night the jail was discovered on fire. The flames were quickly extinguished. Next night the prisoners broke out and fled. Rison - Hon. W. J. Stanfield, former representative of Cleveland county and editor of the Herald at Rison, is now at Waring, Tex., where he has gone at the advice of his physician. He is still improving and the outlook for his complete restoration to health is hopeful. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I thought this site might be interesting for some of you genealogists. I copied it from the Arkansas County List. Diane I'm probably the last to know about the following site, but I think anyone researching in Arkansas should visit it. http://www.livgenmi.com/1895ar The address doesn't give any hint of the things you'll find, especially if you're working in Arkansas ca. 1895. For a description of what is available on the site, try this page: http://www.livgenmi.com/1895userinfo.htm This site apparently has data for _any state_ that was in the Union in 1895; all data derived from a rescued 1895 atlas. I've not checked the other states yet (except for Marshall Co, MS), but if they are anything like the Arkansas pages, I may be on line at this site for years to come! <BG> The maps are in a beautiful old color style, showing communities in Arkansas that no longer exist on my modern maps. I love "Surrounded Hill" in Prairie Co, I believe it was. If you don't know the county for your town of interest, there's a listing that will help you with that. It's called Index to City & Town Data, and the categories of information are: City or Town Name - Population - Area of State - Has Post Office? - Has Railroad? - Has Express Office? This information is all based on this 1895 atlas. Don't get impatient if it takes a minute or two to bring up the maps--it's worth the wait. Let me know if anyone else found it interesting and helpful. Delores [email protected]

Posted on: Cleveland Co. Ar Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Cleveland/71 Surname: ------------------------- Horace RENDALLS found in 1900 census residing in Redland Township,Cleveland Co. Census prior to 1900, or any further info appreciated. TIA, Don in OZland
Ark. Gazette September 25, 1904, Monticello - After a trial lasting four days the jury brought in a verdict of acquittal in the case of the State of Arkansas vs. John Kight, indicted for killing Judge Sam T. Morgan of Cleveland County, last February. The case was brought to this county from Cleveland on a change of venue and has aroused a great deal of interest in this section of the state. About 50 witnesses testified in the case. It will be remembered that Judge Morgan and his brother Henry were both killed at the same time. The theory of the defense was that the shooting of Judge Morgan was accidental, that Kight was shooting at Frank Knickerbocker, and that he had a right under the law to kill Knickerbocker. The state was represented by Hons. W. S. Amis and W. J. Stanfield of Rison, J. G. Williamson and C. T. Cothan of this city, and the defense was represented by Hons. Sam M. Taylor of Pine Bluff, W. S. Goodwin of Warren, E. A. Gibson of Rison, and James R. Cotham and Patrick Henry of this city. Jann __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Posted on: Cleveland Co. Ar Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Cleveland/70 Surname: COOL, BLOOD ------------------------- I saw a reference at Ancestry.com of a marriage between J A Cool and Ida F Word on 5/15/1892 in Cleveland County AR and wondered if this could be a relative of Cyrus Cool (brother to my Amissa Cool) who married Phoebe J Blood in Ashabulah County Ohio just after the Civil War. Cyrus apparently died in 1899 or there abouts. The date escapes me just now but his pension was filed from Arkansas. Any information is helpful. Questions welcome. Dawn California [email protected]
I may have asked this before, but has anyone heard of a town called Boshnie? I'm assuming it was in the area of the White Oak Township or The "Y". It would have been around during the Civil War. Maybe it was in Jefferson or Saline County. Anyone have a clue? Jayne
