Bill, It is Carolyn, not John who is the family historian, the e-mail is in his name. I was glad to hear from you. Since you are from Watson, perhaps you were familiar with Colburn Cox Stuart and his family. His children, Jorene, Betty and Buster are friends of ours. Jo married Jack Haynes of Monticello. He died at the end of September last year. Jack and Jo Stuart Haynes were the most special friends that we have ever had. Jo and their adult children still live at Timberlake in Perry County, Arkansas, a children's summer camp that they ran for years until Jack's health declined. Betty and Buster are also known to us. I (Carolyn) was born in Tillar and had ties to McGehee, Winchester, McArthur and other towns in that area. I remember Arkansas City well. Robert Moore who was sheriff and his sister were friends of my family. My dad's first cousin and his family lived at McArthur - Hilliard Stroud and his wife Marian McKinney Stroud. Marian was big on genealogy and was very influential in the Desha County Historical Society. I have recently talked with their son, George Hilliard Stroud and his wife Madie. Madie is from Fountain Hill. All three Stroud sons entered the journalism profession. George is the retired Editor of the St. Louis Post Dispatch. Joe and Bill are still working in the newspaper business. I have a booklet complied by Colburn Cox Stuart of Watson: Inside View Japanese American Evacuee Center at Tohwer, Arkansas 1941-1945. It was given to me by his family. Mr. Stuart was principal at Tillar, McGehee and other places as well as owning a plantation at Watson, and being in the oil business. Looking forward to hearing more from you. Carolyn Haisty jhaisty@tcac.com
