I didn't have time to extract to info I found on Y.R. Royal which appeared on the roll of the Drew Advance---------will try to get it later. I did find a short article regarding him: Arkansas Baptist Advance September 28, 1911 page 7 col 1: Rev. Y.R. Royal was for many years moderator of Bartholomew Association. He was a polished gentleman and strong preacher. He was clerk of Drew County for a number of years but did quite a great deal of preaching. Wielded a powerful influence for the Baptist cause in his day. He died soon after the war and his remains were buried near Monticello.

Drew Advance July 10, 1894: Baxter, July 2nd: According to previous arrangements the candidates met at this place to lay their several claims before the dear people. The good citizens of this place had arranged seats in the beautiful grove west of town--know as Charley Duke's Park, at about 10:30 o'clock the speaking began to an audience of some two hundred and fifty people. A recess was taken at 12 , and all of the candidates were invited to dinner by the good people of Baxter, and were treated to sumptuous repasts. At 1 o'clock, the audience reassembled and were highly entertained by the candidates for Senatorial and Legislative honors. In conclusion we noted that Monticello was represented by the following gentlemen: Col. W.F. Slemons, G.W. Lambert, R. Gus Hammock and others. Your scribe and ADVANCE representative had obtained several subscribers for the paper. Jann PS rdea------do you know where Charley Duke's Park was located?????????

From: INDUSTRIAL AND SOUVENIR EDITION OF THE ADVANCE Monticello, Arkansas, Tuesday, December 17, 1907 F. H. Scott Frank H. Scott, the subject of this sketch, was born at Huntsville, Ala., in 1860, but he emigrated to this state at such an early age that he is accustomed to look upon himself as a genuine Arkansas product, his parents moving to this good state when their son Frank was but six months old and locating first in Marianna and later in Forrest City. In these two cities Mr. Scott was reared. Mr. Scott began his mercantile career at 17 years of age, when he began to work as a clerk for the firm of Wynne, Dennis & Beck at Forrest City. He remained with these people for five years and then went to Memphis and accepted a position as travelling salesman for B. Lowenstein & Bros. of that city, continuing with them for thirteen years. After this he traveled for five years for the Hargadine-McKittrick Dry Goods Company of St. Louis. A large part of Mr. Scott's long travelling career was spent in Arkansas and contiguous territory and he is well and favorably known to many of the mercantile men over a large part of the state. In 1903 he resigned his position with the Hargadine-McKittrick Company and began merchandising in Monticello in partnership with E. S. Maloney, under the style of Scott & Maloney, but at the end of a year he bought Mr. Maloney's interest and has since been running as F. H. Scott. This firm made a big hit from the start and the business has increased until now Mr. Scott has one of the leading dry goods houses of this section of the state. He carries one of the largest if not the largest exclusive stock of dry goods between Pine Bluff and Monroe, his stock invoicing around $25,000. Mr. Scott has been in the dry goods business since boyhood and he is a thorough dry goods man. He has always carried one of the most handsome and up-to-date lines to be found in any small city and his stock includes a large nuber of the most popular and reliable standard brands. He is sole agent for the celebrated Edwin Clapp Shoes for men, Queen Quality Shoes for women, Swan and Tiger Hats, Headlight Overalls and the superb Wyler-Ackerland line of men's and boys' clothing. He also makes a strong bid for and gets a liberal share of the ladies' dress goods trade. He carries a splendid stock of ladies' cloaks, wraps, and all dress goods fabric. Mr. Scott is a district steward in the Methodist church, and has been a member of that church for many years. He is also a past chancellor in the Knights of Pythias lodge and twice represented a subordinate lodge in the Grand Lodge of the state. He was married in 1895 to Mrs. Della Harris of this city and to them have been born four children, three boys and one girl. One boy, Julian, died at the age of ten months. Carolyn jhaisty@tcac.com

Drew Advance July 3, 1894: MYHAND'S PLACE (Wednesday): At the appointed place and time quite a respectable number of farmers were in attendance to meet the candidates. The location of this precinct is rather unfortunate. Tho' central as to territory it is not so as to population and there is rarely ever a full turn out here. The number estimated to have been present on this occasion was over 100--a decided improvement over former years. Mr. G.W. Hogue presided over the meeting and the program of excercises in the order of rotation was practiced. The candidates were all present except Mr. Andrew Cavaness, for surveyor, whose absence was excused--on plea of ministering to the wants of a new guest at his house in the person of a 10 pound boy. Nothing of unusual interest occurred at this place, except that we may refer with pride to the grandiloquent and lofty appeal of our worthy townsman, Mr. Jos. F. Bussey, who retired with ringing plaudits from the crowd and a glass of ice lemonade from Mr. Jno! . Hogue. Boquets would have been in order but they were not to be had. While in a mood of abstraction there came to our ears the strange sound of pathetic appeal issuing from untrained lips in poetic numbers. The words that attracted our attention had deep import in them, and as they refer briefly to the life of an unfortunate man we give them: "When'er you meet a human form Less favored than thine own Remember 'tis they neighbor man Thy brother or they son. O pass not, pass not heedless by, Perhaps you may redeem The broken heart of misery, To share thy lot with him." We here took occasion again to present the claims of the ADVANCE, and met with substantial encouragement. Among visitors from Monticello we noticed Messrs. John McQuiston, Pro. J.L. Spence, J.Y. Erwin, J.R. Allen and Charlie Hankins on his bicycle; vistors from Lincoln were J.W. Mauney, Jno. Sweeney, Lee Collins and Jno. Smith. This precinct is also in the dry strip, tho' it has had rain enough to keep crops going.

From: INDUSTRIAL AND SOUVENIR EDITION OF THE ADVANCE Monticello, Arkansas, Tuesday, December 17, 1907 Andrew J. POSEY Andrew J. Posey, the subject of this sketch, was born near the ancient village of Selma, in Drew county, Arkansas. Mr. Posey is a self made man. His parents died when he was so small that he remembers but very little about them and in his youth and young manhoood, he was dependent almost wholly upon his own resources. He first took up the occuptaion of farming and stock raising and remained in whole or in part engaged in this pursuit until a few years ago. In these occupations he was very successful. In 1899 he opened a store at Cut-off postoffice and sold goods at this point in connection with his plantation business for some years. He moved his family to Monticello in the fall of 1905 and was soon afterward appointed city marshall, H. C. Burks, the incumbent in the office being engaged in a political canvass. In this office he served for six months and made a splendid record. On going out of this office, Mr. Posey bought the grocery stock of C. R. McDermott and entered the mercantile lists in this city. He soon proved himself an enterprising tradesman. He at once supplied himslef with a large stock of the best to be had in every branch of the retail grocery trade, pushed his business by legitimate methods and today he has one fo the best patronized grocery stores and cold drink stands in the city. He makes it a point to keep the best and he has a constantly widening circle of staisfied customers. his second son, Carroll now has charge of the store. On the first of July of this year, the town council elected Mr. Posey city marshal, on the resignation of W. R. Hammock, and he has since been filling that office with a high degree of satisfaction, it being gernerally conceded that he is one of the best marshals the town has ever had. He is active and conscientions in the performance of his duties and is a capable and efficient officer. Mr. Posey has been a member of the Methodist church for many years. He was married to Miss Eudora Ellis, December 6, 1883. They have three sons living and one dead. Carolyn jhaisty@tcac.com

Thanks for the reply, Rebecca. The Mary Sawyer that you referenced is not the person that I am looking for information on. Mary who married my great grandfather's brother, had an "S" on the end of the name and she died while married to Matthew. The 1850 census shows her name to be Monen. This is an error. Her name was Mary as witnessed by their marriage license and Matthew called her "Mourning" (not Monen) in his Civil War Pension records. She had a child living in the household of Matthew Hasty (Haisty) in the 1850 census of Drew County, AR, who was named Eliza Jane Sawyers (age12) and there was a child also in the household named Henry (no last name). There were several children in the household - in Springhill Township - who were not identified and none of them, including the above mentioned Eliza Jane, were children of Matthew Haisty. Who they all were is a continuing problem. Mary Sawyers was born in South Carolina. Two houses away from Matthew (36) and Mary (Mourning)(38) was an Alexander Sawyers (35) also born in South Carolina, his wife Pervilla J. (20) born in Tennessee and a child Lafayette age 2. I have land record for Alexander Sawyers. One unanswered question is: Was Mary (Mourning) Sawyers the sister or sister-in-law of Alexander Sawyers. Since she had a child identified as a daughter in their household and that child was not Matthew Haisty's child, indications are that Mary was a widow. On the 16th of August, 1857 Eliza Jane Sawyers married Henry P. Johns in Desha Co., AR. The other Haisty brothers lived at Selma and Matthew most likely had moved there from Springhill TWP. Selma was in Desha Co. at the time of this marriage. Age is correct for both of them to be the Eliza J. listed as Mary's daughter in the 1850 census and Henry P. Johns the Henry (no last name) also in the household in 1850. Perhaps someone will recognize the names Alexander and Lafayette Sawyers or Henry P. Johns and can give me some clues. The Shewmake connection comes in with Matthew Haisty's second marriage. He married Delaney (Shewmake) Simmons, a widow on Christmas Day in 1853. Delaney was the mother of Matthew's only surviving child Mary Emeline Haisty, born in April of 1857 in Drew Co., who married William Fielder Scroggins in Conway County, Arkansas in December of 1890. Matthew and Delaney had a child named Christopher born @ 1859 or 60. He apparently died as an infant. There was a third child, but no record of that child. Matthew and Delaney Haisty, with Mary Emeline and Delaney's two sons by Edward Simmons, Alexander B. Simmons and Jesse M. T. Simmons, moved to Conway County - Solgohachia - apparently because of his Union sympathy. He joined the Union Army at Lewisburg. Some of the Shewmake family also went there and also enlisted with Matthew. The families of the two Haisty brothers who stayed in Drew County never had contact with Matthew's family again. John and James Haisty were Confederate soldiers. With the help of Judy Hightower of this list, I have filled in lots of holes. Her husband is of the Shewmake - Denton line. I have given her some things from the Haisty side that have filled in things for her as well. I really need help on the Sawyers. There was a Jennie V. Sawyers going to school at Selma in 1927 when my mother taught there. I have the "will" of that senior class and Jennie V. is listed. None of my cousins or people from the area that I have talked with know who Jennie V. was. Anyone?????? I was aware of the Dr. Shewmake mentioned in Old Times. Just wondered if someone knew of descendants of the marriage listed in my post. Thanks for any and all help. Carolyn jhaisty@tcac.com

I have to put my two cents in about the pictures - that first one would have had to be taken before August 1900, because Bertie Lee MCKINSTRY died August 12 of that year. He was the son of Robert W. and Mary Emma (THOMASSON) MCKINSTRY, and was born 2 Nov 1876. If it was a graduation picture (or senior picture), it was probably taken about 1894. Also, Robert Fee HYATT was born about 1878, so this would fit in with the same time period. Karen Groce
