    3. Before I start, let me say this is a hunch. Last week, we were riding around and were in Selma. There is a portion of the Old Military Rd. that runs in front of John Doyle Watson's house, and it is still called Old Military Rd. We went down this and came out on the McGehee Hwy. just about a l/4 or 1/2 mile from the stores which turn to go to Selma. I'm guessing that the Gaster Old Field [may have been some of the Stephen Gaster family's land....as they (meaning he and brother-in-law Reece Bowden)were the first settlers in Drew Co. around Baxter and Bayou Bartholomew.....not too far across from Selma if traveling by the collins/Selma Rd. which comes out on Dermott Hwy. just the other side of Bayou Bartholomew...in fact the road crosses the bayou at one point between Collins and Selma.] Anyway, this may have been the spot just above the T-stop which that has the McGehee Hwy. take and immediate right and the road from Monticello goes straight to Tillar. Therefore , I'm guessing somewhere between the Selma turn off and the McGehee right-hand turn that goes on out to Dollar Hill. again .... just guessing BETH Beth Thurman or Terri Wolfe Monticello, AR 367-2701
