Pat, Thanks for suggesting checking with a funeral home and findagrave in case I had not already thought of that. I had already thought of it, but still appreciate your suggestion. You are very thoughtful. I'm slow to contact a funeral home because I thought surely the state would have a record of a 1961 death (if she died in Arkansas). However, contacting a funeral home is something I will do. Jim pointed out that Ella's date of birth on the headstone and on the federal census disagree, which some others of us had also noticed. See Vera's photo of the headstone at http://arkansasgravestones.org/view.php?id=534664 and the 1900 Jefferson, Izard Co., AR federal census, which lists her birth date as November 1873. I've seen incorrect birth information on headstones before with my great-grandfather John Wesley Boler's headstone. The funeral home I contacted had the correct birthdate, as did the death certificate that I ordered from the state, but the headstone did not. I don't know for sure what happened in that case, but can guess. Also, my great-great-grandfather Samuel Billingsley's headstone carried the wrong birth year. In John Wesley Boler's case, I suspect a relative made a mistake and provided the wrong date, or maybe the monument works made an error that either wasn't caught or that it was never asked to correct. In Samuel Billingsley's case, the Franklin, Fulton County, AR censuses leading up to the 1880 Franklin, Izard Co., AR federal census were consistent with someone who would have been born in 1789, which agrees with THE BILLINGSLEY FAMILY (BILLINGSLY-BILLINGSLEA) IN AMERICA by Harry Alexander Davis (1850 age 61 enumerated 30 Oct. 1850; 1860 age 72 enumerated 3 June 1860; and 1870 age 81; then in 1880 age 94). Ella's mother was Laura Ann Jones, my great-great-grandmother who married three times, the last time to Lafayette "Lee" Redman. Laura Ann Jones' mother was Ann / Anne (nee __???__) Jones. Research on my Jones line has been plagued with mistranscriptions (for example, Halbrook mistranscribed as Hallsworth), wrong names, nicknames, date issues, spelling issues, a father that is gone from the household by the 1840 Murray Co. GA federal census so I don't know his given name, and a son who is there in the 1840 federal census, but out of the household by the 1850 District 825, Murray Co., GA federal census, so I don't know his name. Thank goodness my great-great-grandmother was in her mother's household in 1850 (and in close proximity to Hiram Montgomery in both the 1840 and 1850 censuses). Also thank goodness Laura Ann Jones' first husband William Franklin "Dock" Montgomery, who died during the Civil War, wrote letters that were preserved by one of her descendants (see http://www.couchgenweb.com/arkansas/izard/hames-montltrs.html). My Joneses have not been easy to research, so I have appreciated the records I've found and clues that knowledgeable descendants and people have provided along the way. I also helped to provide information for them, as well. Lee Anne

Jean, you've brought back many memories and oh, how I'd love to attend this meeting. Many summers while visiting my grandparents at Oxford, I would attend the Singing School at Brockwell with my cousin. This is the same Singing School that my parents attended when they were young. You won't hear any better singing and harmony and great old gospel songs than you heard at Brockwell. Only wish the miles and health issues with my husband and myself didn't prevent our attending. Sing a great old song for me!

I'm puzzled. The Arkansas Department of Health says it does not have a death certificate for any of these variations of Ella Gault's name: Mary Louella Gault, Mary Luella Gault and Ella M. Gault. For a death in 1961, they should have a record. Does anyone have a suggestion? Does anyone have an obituary? Thanks Jim. Lee Anne

Lee Anne, I suppose you have found her on Find A Grave? Vera has a whole page full of info there. Her stone says Mary Luella Redman Gault. You might check back with a Funeral Home if you have any idea who handled her burial??

Thanks, everybody. Thanks to the list, I now have this guy connected to our family history... Warnock D. Harwell Awards and Citations Silver Star (Citation Needed) - SYNOPSIS: Second Lieutenant (Cavalry) Warnock D. Harwell, United States Army, was awarded the Silver Star for gallantry in action while serving with the 1st Cavalry Division in the Pacific Theater of Operations during World War II. General Orders: Headquarters, 1st Cavalry Division, General Orders No. 5 (1945) Action Date: World War II Service: Army Rank: Second Lieutenant Division: 1st Cavalry Division THE 1ST CAVALRY DIVISION IN WORLD WAR II Page 94... "...To the north some 2500 yards, the 7th and 112th Cavalry continued to move slowly south abreast of the 32d Division. Not yet out of the densely wooded, hogbacked country, their progress was relatively slow, as the enemy, now cut off from his supplies by the 12th Cavalry, disputed every inch of ground. When an outpost guard from"B" Troop, 112th Cavalry, fell wounded on an exposed area covered by the fire of several enemy machine guns, his platoon commander, Lieut. Warnock D. Harwell of Oklahoma City, Okla., unhesitatingly crawled to his assistance in plain view of the enemy and despite the constant fire, Lt. Harwell succeeded in bringing him to safety..."

All, I know that I have accessed 1839, 40 and 41 tax records for Izard County, AR. I did think that it was available on Ancestry.com but I have not been able to get on there this morning.

HAPPY 4th of July Morning to you all. Looks like going to be another hot, and Dry one here in Henderson,Ar. Hope all of you are having a cup of coffee with me, or what ever you like. Wish every one a good Day and safe one. No fire works here, as usual they have a “BIG BANG” down at the Henderson Bridge but not this year. Know a lot of folks missed that. The lake is usually covered in boats. We can stand on our back porch and hear the noise. May God Bless everyone .The sick, shut ins, and especially our loved ones serving our Country. Have a good, but safe week end.Love June.
