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.
