I am searching for Seaborn (Seaburn?) GARRETT b. c1837 SC, d. 1865 Columbia Co. AR, m. Sophia M. IRBY 1854 (in Pontotoc Co., MS). Children: William b. 1856, Minerva b. 1860, Monroe b. 1864, Eudora b. 1865. Information I have says that Seaburn GARRETT served in the Civil War, stationed at Memphis and then stationed at Camden, AR. I have AR land records that places him in Columbia Co., AR at least between Apr 1860 & Feb 1861 (land patents total about 360 acres or so). I'm also searching for the parents of Seaburn GARRETT. Thanks, Greg

Belva, I live in Union County, which borders Columbia county and will be happy to check the Sunday paper at the library for you if you like. Union, Ouachita, and Columbia county share a Sunday paper now. The library keeps copies of it, as well as the Democrat-Gazette. I will go by there today. The web address for the Democrat-Gazette is www.ardemgaz.com. But I didn't find it online. Debbie

Good Lord "a" mercy. Who opened up the gate to the Columbia County site. It pert near scared me to see all that mail, but I mustered up enough courage to read all the letters. Now let me add the names that I have been researching and digging around in over there in Magnolia and the rest of Columbia County. PETERSON, GRANT, MANESS, WILKERSON, DODSON, PATTERSON, and a host of others James Peterson Texarkana, Ark.

Debbie, I have tried the Arkansas Democrat Gazette and they are not up to date with obituaries either! Thanks for the suggestion. Belva

Does anyone have the website for Arkansas Democrat Gazette? Belva

I am still trying to find David(son) Samuel Sheppard in Columbia County. I sent for his death certificate (hopefully it will show at least one parent.) David was born in 1854 and had a sister who we think was named Susan. They moved to Texas after their parents died and went to Bastrop Co, then Milam County. -- Gina Heffernan - researching ARMSTRONG BRAZZIL DISNEY FORREY HEFFERNAN HOLDER MCKINNON MELLEN MILLS O'NEAL PUCKETT RICKERT SENN SHEPHERD SPARKS WILLS and related lines.

Belva, I would call the paper with the week of date of death and death date. Most papers will copy an obituary for a small fee. If it is really old then let me know as I may be able to locate a resource.

Magnolia is the county seat. You will find vital statistics there. Waldo is a smaller town in Columbia County. I too am looking for family buried near Waldo, the Parmers. I would check newspapers in and near Waldo and also in Magnolia. A mention in more than one is very possible. I don't have names of papers to check for you at the moment but if no one with the information responds e-mail me back and I can ask a reference librarian for you.

Did you try the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette? If she died in AR it's probably in there.
