Arnett OSLIN would be Miss Grace's brother-in-law; he was married to Creola ROGERS, Miss Grace's sister. And yes, you're correct, the OSLINs owned the mercantile before Miss Grace did.

Bob, If I am not mistaken Arnet Oslin's wife was a sister to Miss Grace. I know that the Oslin's left thier home to Kathy Moss when they died.

Jann, This would be the sister of Mary Moss' mother in law (Mrs. A. J. Moss). Mary and Sonny (A. J. Moss, Jr.) had 2 girls Kathy and Molly. I am not sure of either's married name. Miss Rubye Rogers did not marry until she was in her 50's. As far as I know all of the siblings are dead. This would also be related into Hattie Nell Horn.

The marriage was solemnized Tuesday morning at nine o'clock at the family home in Wilmar, in the presence of a large gathering of friends and relatives, with Rev. Roy E.

Drew Advance Nov. 16, 1926: Mr. Joe Griffith and family and Mrs. William Boykin attended church at Pleasant Grove, Sunday and took dinner with Mr. Ralph Barnett. Mrs. Ed Flemister and family spent Saturday night with his sister, Mrs. John Foy, then attended church at Pleasant Grove, Sunday returning to their home north of Monticello Sunday evening. They use to live here and we are always glad to see them. Mr. Lee Pritchard has bought the timber on sixty acres joining him. He has hired Wes Martin to help him and they are making the chips fly. There will be about six hundred ties. The families of Mr. Baldwin's, Mrs. Warren's and Miss Clara Flemister had Sunday dinner with Mr. Jim Noland's family. They had plenty to eat and a good time. Mr. Joe Griffith is a late purchaser of a new Ford roadster. You can't touch Joe now with a ten foot pole. That makes five cars bought in this school district this year. Mrs. Mary Pritchard is now the owner of two fine gilts bought with money she earned picking cotton down in the swamps. They are beauties, they have some hazel splitters of the same age. It will pay anyone who wishes to raise hogs to look at the difference. This county needs more Mary's. Cotton is all picked and money mostly spent. Quite a number have from one to seven bales stored for a better price. Most every farmer around here has raised enough corn to raise another crop, also have put up lots of other feed. Mr. J. J. Parsons has built a large poultry house. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Mayers have returned home from the Arkansas Valley, where they have been picking cotton. Both are enjoying good health. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? >From homework help to love advice, Yahoo! Experts has your answer. http://experts.yahoo.com/

Joy I do not have those names listed in my index of names. Although I do not have a complete list of the descendants of the James Meredith and Martha West Meredith marriage on Jan. i7, 1856. Robert

Jann you are doing a wonderful job with those old newspaper articles. The Hank Meredith who was killed was a relative of mine. Hank's mother and father area buried in >Deal Cemetery<. John Monroe "Roe" Deal was my grandfather's brother. Hank was Roe's nephew. I am happy to learn that Claude Moss was captured. Robert Deal

There was also a Civilians Military Training Corps. Young men were sent to camps to receive military training. This was probably like our National Guard. >We seem to have so many people on the list who do not know much about the CCC program. I will share some of my memories. >I can't recall exactly what year the program began but it was disbanded around 1940 when the Army started recruiting and drafting young men for the upcoming World War 2. > The CCC stood for >Civilian Conservation Corps<

A number of years ago I had a book that described the dozens of depression area programs. It was about a 300 page book. The title of the book I think was > Alphabetic Soup and WPA Nuts <. As I recall the book did not condone or condemn the programs but was written in very light tone. I do not recall the author's name. Anyone interested in the depression area programs and history of the times would do well to read this book if you can find it. Robert
