    3. For a very informative article about the flood and a report of where the refugee camps were located in Ashley County, use this link: http://www.ashleycountyledger.com/articles/2005/02/27/history/z999.txt ----- Original Message ----- From: "bjw" <jann_woodard@yahoo.com> To: <ARDREW-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 2:22 PM Subject: [ARDREW] Refugee Camps - 1927 Does anyone know where these camps were located in Monticello? I didn't realize there were camps established in Drew County during the 1927 flood. I found an article that said there was a camp for black folks and another one for white folks.

    3. I don't know specifically, but I imagine they were in the hills above Bayou Bartholomew. Collins, Selma, etc. > Does anyone know where these camps were located in Monticello?

    3. My parents lived at Halley in Desha County when the 1927 flood occured. I don't know where they relocated to during the flood, but I have my mother's singer sewing machine that went through the flood. It still works. C.L.
