They had three children: Jimmy Tad Newton b. abt 1923 Henrietta Newton b. 1925 Dorothy Nell Newton b. 1927 Thanks! Jo-Ann Stephens in IN bahai@netusa1.net

INDUSTRIAL AND SOUVENIR EDITION OF THE ADVANCE Monticello, Arkansas, Tuesday, December 17, 1907 Frank Haynes & Son There is but one firm in Monticello regularly engaged in the abstract business. This is the firm of Frank Haynes & Son, who are the owners of a set of abstract boooks that will soon be complete in every detail. Frank Haynes, the head of this firm, was born in 1855 in Cornerville, in what is now Lincoln County, but was then a part of Drew. His parents, E. K. and Sallie (Slythe) Haynes, settled in the above mentioned locality in the early fifties, the country being then a wilderness just surveyed by the govern- ment. His father was a land man and located and entered for non-residents thousands of acres of land in this and other counties. He became a large land owner himself at one time but lost all in the panicky times of 1873. When about 30 years of age, he became a cripple from chronic rheumatism and his son Frank acted as his amanuensis, thus picking up much use- ful information about land matters, especially those pertaining to the system of public surveys. This information became valuable to him in later life when he engaged in the land busi- ness himself. Although receiving but little schooling, Mr. Haynes is a well educated man. His school days ended when he was 15 years old and the remainder of his education was gained by home study without the aid of an instructor. It is doubtful, however, if there is a man in the county with a more thorough knowledge of the common school and many of the high school branches than he. On arriving at young manhood, Mr. Haynes took up the avocation of teaching and followed this profession for 15 years or more, teaching at various places in this and adjoining counties. He was employed for five years in the Monticello schools, one year as principal, and it is generally conceded that few if any better disciplinarians or instructors have ever taught in the schools of this county. He is also a man with a decided genius for literary work. He was for two years edit- orial writer for this paper and it is no exaggeration to say that he is one of the most forcible and versatile writers in the state. Mr. Haynes has been actively engaged in the land and abstract business for the last five years. A considerable part of this time he was associated with attorneys Knox & Hardy of this place and J. B. Daniels of Dermott. This firm owned some large tracts of land, mostly in Chicot County. About 18 months ago, the firm of Haynes, Hardy & Co. was dissolved and Mr. Haynes then associated his only son Pope, with him- self in the business under the present name, Frank Haynes & Son. They are devoting their time mostly to their abstract business, and completing the set of books which they own, though they do consider able other work, such as surveying, type-writing, etc. Their business standing is of the highest, and this often times intricate and important work when en- trusted to them will be done honestly and accurately. Pope Haynes, the junior member of this firm, like his father is almost entirely self-educated. Owing to the delicate state of his health during childhood, he attended school only a few weeks. He has always been an indefatigable student and a tireless reader, however, so that he now has not only as good a literary education as the average man, but also a knowledge of many technical subjects. He lacked only a few months of work of completing a correspondence course in mechanical engineering and is a practical electrician. He is an expert typewriter and has made a record of 70 word a minute for several minutes. He was happily married on the 7th of last month to Miss Lela Trice, youngest daughter of J. A. Trice of Collins, Arkansas. Note: Another vocabulary word from bygone days - Amanuensis - One who copies manuscript or takes dictation; a secretary. Carolyn

Mary Lynn, welcome to the list! Rebecca said that an classmate of mine was joining the list. You may be the one she was talking about. I should have been in the class with you and Olivia, but started school at age five and was a grade ahead. David and I had some classes together in college. I am sure that he won't remember me. Years ago while, in Little Rock, I came in your store. I didn't know at the time who David married. Not seeing anyone that looked familiar, I didn't say anything about knowing the family. Perhaps some of the young people were your children. It is nice to be in contact and again - Welcome!! Carolyn Haisty jhaisty@tcac.com

JoAnn, Hope these help. These were the only Conrads I could find in Arkansas, Ashley, Bradley, Chicot, Cleveland, Desha, Drew, Jefferson and Lincoln Counties.

Amy, That is all it does supply. Pat

Hi, everybody, Last night I finally got a chance to sit down and look at some homestead applications Pat Cowan was kind enough to send me. In them, I found a reference that I can't figure out. In one set of forms, the applicant (Jeremiah Knowles) stated that he had built on the property "a hewed-log house, plank barn" etc. That I get. However, on the next land application, Micajah Knowles stated that he had built on the property a "box house". What in the world is a box house? And how did you build it? For those of you who are interested in the Jerry Knowles application (since it was for the land owned in later years by Benjamin Arthur & Virgie Hickman Loveless), here are some of the things that Jerry built on the property. Does anyone know where these were: hewed-log dwelling house plank barn corn crib 2 wells (Dad says he knows where 2 old wells are; hope they are these!) log smoke house --Melissa

INDUSTRIAL AND SOUVENIR EDITION OF THE ADVANCE Monticello, Arkansas, Tuesday, December 17, 1907 Page Five - Column Two Robert W. Wilson Robert W. Wilson to use his own expression, was born in "Possum Valley" and reared in "Scrougeout," both of which appellations apply to well known and well defined localities in Drew County. Mr. Wilson's early history is only the uneventful routine of farm life. He early manifested a decided ambition, however, coupled with a willingness to work for the attainment of his objects, and this characteristic has remained with him throughout his subsequent career. Mr. Wilson was educated in the common schools, Hinemon University School at Monticello and Ouachita College at Arkadelphia one year being spent at the latter institution. He also took a commercial course at Beauvoir College. On coming out of Ouachita College, Mr. Wilson began teaching and followed this profession for several years, the latter part of the time being spent in the Pine Bluff High School and Beauvoir College at Wilmar, Arkansas. After this he served for four years a private secretary to Congressman Joe T. Robinson of the Sixth Congress- ional District. This position opened to Mr. Wilson some splendid advantages and he was not slow to make use of them. It being his intention to enter the legal profess- ion, he began to study under Mr. Robinson, himself a distinguished and successful lawyer. On going to Wash- ington, he entered the National University Law School of that city and graduated therefrom in 1906. He was admitted to the supreme court bar of this state in the early part of 1907 and began the practice of his pro- fession in his home town, in March of the same year. He has met with very flattering success during the time he has been in the practice in this city and has been connected with some important cases. He was ap- pointed deputy prosecuting attorney for this county a few months ago and has made an enviable record in that office enforcing the law without fear or favor. Mr. Wilson begins his professional career unusually well equipped and has bright prospects ahead of him. Note: A picture of Robert W. Wilson accompanies this article. There are also pictures of the two Wilsons put on this list previously. Vocabulary Lesson of the day: Appellation Therefrom Carolyn

Hi, everyone, If you want to participate in Davie's "mother of all GEDCOMs" experiment, please make sure you e-mail your GEDCOM file to Dave Daugherty, not to the ARDREW-L list.
