Hi everyone, I'm really new to all this Genealogy stuff, but its fun and I really want to know about my family. I was excited to find Arconway -- my Mom's side of the family is all from Adona Arkansas. Well, I sent for my Aunt's Death Certificate and they sent back a letter saying "You must submit a copy of the document that states proof of the event is required. Signed consent from executor of the estate. Well, I thought that all birth, marriage and death certificates were public record. I'm I wrong. Is it different in other states? I wanted the death certificate because her parents were my great grandparents. This would have such a big help. Any suggestions? Is there still a way for me to get a copy of the death certificate?

Send to desmond@ipa.net and ask for her free catalog. The siftings series and other Arkansas genealogy related books are in the catalog. There are no Morrilton newspapers surviving for 1916. The Atkins Chronicle is on microfilm at the Ark. History Commission and appears to include 1916. I have not seen the film and do not have access to it. Since Atkins is near Morrilton, an account of the death of James Curtis McArthur might possibly be in the paper. The other option is to check the Ark. Gazette, also at the Ark. History commission. I do not know if either of these papers have been indexed for 1916.

Hi -- I have been following this list for a month or so and I was suprised to see the information from the Siftings from the Morrilton Democrat. I too have someone that I would like more info on. (If someone has the time to look and can find anything.) James Curtis McArthur. I have heard several stories about how he died. He died Nov 22, 1916. I know he is buried in the Wolfe Cemetery in Oppelo. I would like any information that anyone has on the cause of his death and the circumstatnces surrounding it. I was in Morrilton in June and spent 2 days going through records in the court house but did not find anything on him. The burning of the Morrilton papers has hampered me/us from finding out about several people that died in and around Morrilton at the turn of the century. Can the Siftings be purchased? yvonne ____________________________ reply to henson@rmi.net web page: http://www.rmi.net/~henson Names I am researching: BRENT(S), GRANT, EDMON(D)SON, HENSON, MCARTHUR

This is good information to use as clues, but I have found in my own lines, that 9 times out of 10, the men outlived the women, even though they did not live to be very old. A l ot of women died in childbirth, most of my male ancestors married 2 to 3 times, having as many as 7 or 8 children with each wife. They married their neighbors, their deceased wive's sisters, cousins (sometimes distant, sometimes not). Making for very confusing family ties. -- Lisa C.

USING THE AVERAGES If you are at a dead-end trying to trace early pre-1850 ancestors, here are a few clues that may lead to finding that elusive documentation. Generally, there are three generations per century. The average age for men to marry was about 24-seldom before age 20. The average age for women to marry was 20-seldom before age 16. First marriages were usually between couples near the same age. Women usually outlived their husbands, but older widowers frequently married much younger women who had never been married. Births usually occurred at two year intervals. Frequently the first child was born a year after the marriage. Child bearing generally ended about age 45. Men usually married women from their neighborhood, but if a "non-local" woman shows up, check the man's former home. Often men returned to their former residence to find a wife. Families and neighbors usually migrated from their old homes together, and women rarely traveled alone. If you can't find an older parent, chances are he/she "went West" with a son or daughter and son-in-law. If you find an ancestor with a "virtue" name (Patience, Hope, Charity, etc.) consider a New England heritage. Children were often named for grandparents, both male and female.

Hello again I was very pleased to get such a great response on my inquiry. Nothing is said about the motivation for these killings. Is there anyone who is following this site who has access to the Arkansas Gazette from that period of time?(April 26, 1915) From the information that was provided it appears that Sam Bell was let out of prison after 15 years even though he had escaped and stayed out for about 2 1/2 years. Where was the state prison at that time? Since he didn't kill his wife I am puzzled by the whole thing. The information that I have shows that his wife, Floy Maye Fryer, later married Clay Sisemore. I had assumed from this information that he had received the death sentence and that it had been carried out. If anyone has any more information I am still curious about details. This is only of several incidents that I have found while doing family research that I was not aware of. Our family was very quiet about anything of an unpleasant nature. Thanks again! Ruth Camp ladyruth@thewoolworths.com

Can anyone tell me about the death of my cousin Rube Russell? Rube was surpossed to have been killed by his son-in -law in Morrillton, in Conway Co. Ark. in 1929. does anyone know anything about this ? would appreciate anything anyone may know about this. Or I would love to make contact with any of his family that may see this. Thanks. inabill@showme.net
