Ancestry.com is in the process of posting all mortality schedules, but I checked, and they don't have Arkansas posted yet. Maybe soon.

Kathy, Yes, I do see that Andrew, Mary and Andrew Baker, Jr. are in the 1880 mortality schedule index: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ardrew/1880mor.html (Scroll to the bottom of the page for 1880). There is also a Jane Baker, age 56, in this mortality schedule. I don't know the relation to your Andrew Baker family. If you can find the original mortality schedule, it should tell you the exact date of death for each of these individuals. Unfortunately, Arkansas did not start keeping official death records until 1914, so this mortality schedule is your best bet. You're actually very lucky that your Bakers died in one of the years for which the mortality schedule was kept, because you have a chance at finding the actual dates and cause of death! It would be interesting to see if your Bakers all died around the same time and of the same cause, which might indicate an illness in the family or an epidemic of some sort. Does anyone know of any epidemics in Drew County in 1879-1880? Also, does anyone know where to find the original mortality schedules, with the dates of death on them?

Just a bit of trivia on Add Lagone from _Bartholomew's Song_. "James Dock Wolfe, born in 1920 on Long Prairie in southeast Drew County, remembered old-timers such as Will Chavis, Ed Chavis, Ash Wigle, Add Lagrone, and Dick Thurman talking about how they would go from the prairie to the bayou to get staples off steamboats for Will Chavis's store." > 3.

Does anyone know if the following is a son of Thomas Adam "Add" Lagrone (born March 6,1864, Carroll County, MS) and Sarah (Mary) Etta Herrod (born January 28,1868, Carroll County, MS). He moved his family to Arkansas in the fall of 1890-91 in the area of Drew and Ashley counties. Thomas Add Lagrone,Jr. born August 14,1890 and was married in Union County, Arkansas in 1930 to Jessie Idelle Robinson, born March 19,1889 in Union County, Arkansas, the daughter of Thomas Walker S. Robinson and Hattie E. Harrison. She was married first to Thomas Kemper Parnell. Thomas Lagrone died January 9,1962 in El Dorado, Union County, Arkansas and Jessie died February 15,1965 and both were buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery at El Dorado, Union County, Arkansas Darryl Andrews
