Thanks again, Carolyn!! Karen sent me the website for the Old Florence Church, and there was Nancy Adelia, a member in March 1872!! I was disappointed that John was not listed, and no children were baptized for them. Her second marriage to Wm Harville ("Harvell") is also listed in the minutes. One more little clue!!

Betty, we have talked about this before. There is a James Leland Davis (family lived at Wilmar) and a James P. Davis who doesn't fit your time frame. Sorry, Carolyn

Carolyn: I think I may have asked this before, but would you have a James or Jim Davis in your Cemetery Book? My grandmother, Pearl Lena Davis and great-aunt Lola Estelle Davis were both born in Selma (not buried there), both buried in Missouri. But James died around 1901. Thanks, Betty Capps

Hi Folks, I will be unsubscribing for the duration of my vacation there in Louisiana and Arkansas. I get so much junk mail that I know messages will start bouncing after not too long. When I return I will resubscribe to the list. For those of you who know I'll be visiting Monticello and Drew and Desha Counties in mid-September, if you need to contact me before this Friday, please write to me direct at my e-mail addy since I'll be unsubscribing after I send off this message. Thanks for all your help. Sincerely, Sandy Lewis sjlbjf@ix.netcom.com

Sep 4-5 will be the Stedman/Steadman Reunion, and Melissa Jones is coming in, as this is part of her family. There is a time between 10am Saturday morning and 2pm prior to the beginning of the reunion that Melissa will be there for a meet and greet. The Reunion is being held at the Hermitage Apartment Community Room, and those of us that are part of the BCGS or not are welcome to come during this period. We look forward to having you there. Carolann St. John

Thank you Mary. I will try to make time to visit both the museum and archives, and speak to you about the specific cemeteries I plan to visit. I will see you on Sept. 19th. Sandy

I looked in the phone book and saw no listing for either of them. > Doug and Ima's new address or at least forward my e-mail on to them.

Sandy, The museum is located at 404 South Main St. The archives is located right behind it but is on West College Street. There are signs in front of both. You can park at one place and just walk across the yard to the other one. I talked to Betty this afternoon and because the 19th is Sunday she will not be able to meet you before the regular hours.

Sorry guys -- had a mental lapse -- must be alzheimer's but I had the name of Ima's husband as something other than it really is. That e-mail address was the one that is no longer any good. Alice

Mary, Thank you so much for the information about the museum and the archives. Are they basically housed in the same place??? I am really looking forward to my upcoming trip and my time in Monticello. I will be visiting several of the cemeteries in Drew County, with an extra special interest in the two Beulah cemeteries down near Lacey. I look forward to meeting you and talking to you when I get there. My hope is to visit the museum and speak with you before I embark on my cemetery trek, just in case there's any specific information I may need beforehand. Thanks again, Sandy Lewis

Hi Rebecca and list, Thanks for checking for Alice. I saw Alice's query and answered her direct. But thought I would put it on the list as someone could be looking for me with some good information. <g> I don't know what happened on my email as I receive email every day at the address I have had for over ten years - white@seark.net. My husband is Jimmy White of the Ozment White line of Possum Valley and not Doug. I have two Baker lines, Myers, Nobles, Chavis, Scott, LaGrone in my line. Would be proud to hear from other researchers on these lines.

Sandy, I work at the museum. It will be open on Sept. 19th. from 2 - 5. (Fridays we are open from 1 - 5. Sat. and Sun. from 2 - 5.) You do not need to make any special arrangements to see the museum during these hours. It takes about an hour to an hour and a half to do a tour of the museum. If you are wanting to do research at the archives - which is open same hours as the museum - you could spend hours there. Betty Kellum and Florence Parker are the two who work in the archives. I fill in if they are not there. I don't know if Betty would be able to meet you there earlier in the day to do research at the archives or not. I will make sure that she has this message and if she can she will get back in touch with you, Mary Lasiter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy" <sjlbjf@ix.netcom.com> To: <ARDREW-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, August 20, 2004 3:34 PM Subject: [ARDREW] Trip to Drew County & Monticello > Greetings Everyone, > > I will be making a trip to Baton Rouge, LA, in September and plan to > spend a week in Monticello, AR, to explore the cemeteries, museums and > sites.

Greetings Everyone, I will be making a trip to Baton Rouge, LA, in September and plan to spend a week in Monticello, AR, to explore the cemeteries, museums and sites. Most importantly, I want to be able to visit the Drew County Museum. I know that the Museum is open for limited hours on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I will likely have one full day, probably Sunday, September 19th, to visit the Museum. My question is, is there anyone on the list directly affiliated with the Museum and/or the Historical Society?? Can anyone tell me if the Museum will be open on that day or do I need to make any special arrangements in advance?? This will be my one and only opportunity to visit my roots and I want to make the most of my time there. I appreciate any and all information. Thanks much.

Hi Jo-Ann, Yes, this Stephens family you mentioned is my family. But you and I have corresponded before. If you want to talk some more or have any questions, just send me an e-mail. I really haven't learned anything more, but we can compare notes if you want. Sincerely, Sandy Lewis sjlbjf@ix.netcom.com
