I would like to know about a childrens home in Batesville, ark around 1920s and 1930s, my mothers cousins where placed there. How can I get records of their stay? thanks eva

Hello: The gentleman you are speaking of passed away a couple of years ago. His memory was remarkable and his office looked like mine. What a wonderful person. I visited with him over 20 years. He claimed he was a historian and did not do family history. The last time I saw him we took a picture. He had told me that is later years his eyes were failing him. Everyone who knew him loved and respected him. I do have a few things on Ind. CO. Let me know a little info and I will try to help; Marian

We often have people on the list asking where some place was back in olden times. I found this link for counties in Arkansas from 1895 interesting and thought I would share it fellow genealogist doing research in AR. Enjoy. http://www.livgenmi.com/1895/AR/County/ Sue in NE AR

Ruddle Hill is just out of town a little on 106 hiway. The man you are talking about was probably Wilson Powell, whopassed away not long ago, such a loss to people who was doing genelogy here in Independence co,Ar. Who are you looking for??
