Not only was it entertaining to read (loved the panther story!), but it's the first time I have seen the "Line Community" mentioned on this list!! I have been extracting these Drew County WWI draft registrations, and have seen "Line, Drew County, Ark." given as an address for many of these men. But I had no idea if my eyes were playing tricks on me, since I'd never heard of "Line" before. Still don't know what part of Drew County it is in...can anyone help with this answer? >erected.

Does anyone know when the Gates Camp was in/near Possum Valley? Maybe some of our Valley folks worked there. Just curious! Thanks again, Beth, Melissa
