Thanks for the clarification, Carolyn. I've never lived in that part of AR so I only have relatives' hear-say to go on. I think I have notes on Griffin Funeral Home, too.

Hi Jann: I showing my ignorance here, but exactly what information does the Death Index give you? Could it give parents names or birth place? If so, I would LOVE to lookup Andrew Jackson Daugherty buried in Beulah Cemetery in Lacey in 1920!!! davie -----Original Message----- From: Jann Woodard <jann.woodard@eudoramail.com> To: ARDREW-L@rootsweb.com <ARDREW-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sunday, November 01, 1998 1:04 PM Subject: Re: [ARDREW-L] AR Death Index? >JoAnn > >I believe there are three vols of AR Death Index Records, beginning in 1914 thru the early 1940's.

I think it could! Even if we had to print out the individual "trees", cut, and paste them together, I think it would be fun and interesting at the same time. It would help us all to see that we're really just one big family! davie -----Original Message----- From: KESSAROSE@aol.com <KESSAROSE@aol.com> To: ARDREW-L@rootsweb.com <ARDREW-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, October 31, 1998 9:44 PM Subject: Re: [ARDREW-L] The Mother of all GEDCOM files! >In a message dated 10/31/98 4:37:33 PM Central Standard Time, >faddydaddy@worldnet.att.net writes: > ><< This may have already been mentioned, but has anyone thought of putting ALL > our GEDCOM files together to be printed out whereby we can see the > intersections between our families?

The death record index includes only the name of deceased and date of death. The purpose of the index is to let people know the record has been recorded with the state and is on file with the State Dept. of Health. These may be ordered and if anyone needs the address etc. let me know. Not all death are included, as apparently, it was not law at the time, to register deaths. I may be wrong on that statement so if anyone else knows for sure, please post the info. I didn't find the Daughtery you mentioned.

JoAnn I believe there are three vols of AR Death Index Records, beginning in 1914 thru the early 1940's. I have the 1914-1923 vol and it includes the following counties: Arkansas, Ashley, Bradley, Chicot, Cleveland, Desha, Drew, Jefferson and Lincoln. I sure don't mind looking up names. Jann Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com

Davie, I don't know who the Lasiter is, but have wonder if this is some of Peyton Lasiter's family. Maybe someone else can shed light on the subject. I do know there is lots of Lasiter information found in the Johnston Co., NC family history book and believe it connects with the same family in Drew Co. and some who were in Bradley Co. I have the Johnston Co. history book if you are interested. jann Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com

right! forgot this one. how long did it take YOU to figure this out? ha. Olivia takes offense at this story. she says the family meant for him to be called jew-ann, no matter how it was spelled. and of course, she is right. I am certainly not making fun of anyone here. Just our southern way of saying things.

I was happy to see this. Yall were going real good on this subject and then dropped it. I was really enjoying it. I have one to tell. Some of you will remember Juan Rabb. of Drew Central. We pronounced his name Jew-Ann. When I got to college and was reading Don Juan, I remembered Jew Ann Rabb. I am very happy I did not pronounce the title of the work "Don Jew Ann". I have told this story many times.

I dont know of anyone in this area, but it could be. You know it is the most difficult area of all to research. I attended a lecture by Russell Baker [archivist, ark hist com] a year ago at AGS conference. My head was spinning at the end. Suggest you post Ark Genea Society page and ask for a researcher. Will send you address if you do not have.

Jo-Ann, Dyer Funeral Home was in McGehee, not Tillar. It was owned by Harold and Clemmie Brown Dyer. Bill Brown on this list is a relative of Clemmie. Harold and Clemmie Dyer were very close friends of my Haisty family. It was on second street. I don't know anything about the records, but my mother maintained a policy with the firm until her death. It changed ownership several times after Harold left there. It was Dupwee - Dyer Funeral Home for some period of time. Then, the best that I remember it was just Dupwee. It is now owned by Griffin who also has at least one other funeral home - at Star City. Perhaps Bill Brown can tell you more about this subject.
