Prosperity ARP church location: on highway 9, maybe ¼ mile north of wheeling, on the west side of the road and just south of the bridge that crosses the small creek there. The Moffit house was on the same lot where Tom Cone later built his home, beside his general store and post office. My Roberts grandparents lived in the house across the highway from Aunt Net Moffit , widow of William S Moffit.(Jeanette Paden) Members of the church were usually buried in the Harmony Cemetery.

Day AR only exist in memories now.  It would best be described as you did - "absorbed into Horseshoe Bend." It was a few buildings with a store.  I don't remember it having gas pumps, but someone sent me pics and years ago it had gas pumps.  The store was across from the Gleghorns place and several of the buildings were their house, barn and other things, including the store.  It was important for a couple of reasons back then: the store front held mail boxes and doubled as post office and blacksmith shop out the back.  This sounds crazy, but - for around 10 years or so after we went to Memphis, my dad still stopped by to get mail there on his father's old home place - things like taxes and letters from his Uncle in TX.  No kidding, the Gleghorns would hold the mail until he came back.  The store was a spooky for a kid under 10yo - dark with high ceilings and old men that didn't talk sat around a pot belly stove - even in summer. There is a farm house across the road from the old store.  Store and blacksmith shop fell down so long ago, it is nearly flat with the earth now. So many places bit the dust in time - another place that makes me sad is Mount Nebo.  It apparently had schools, churches and more including the cemetery.  Only the cemetery remains (on private land).  I have folks there and broke my heart to see little neat piles of shards in places where old hand carved stones had crumbed with age. Mount Nebo is another place I would need a guide to get back too - you can't see it from the road and there is no signage to help. Marsha --- On Sun, 12/12/10, Billie Walsh <bilwalsh@swbell.net> wrote: Sorry to be so long getting back to this. We had something come up and left little time to research this a bit. If you go directly North out of Wiseman about five miles the road turns west and comes to the highway just south of Wheeling. Looking at the map I found it appears to be about seven miles between the two by that route. That would probably be closer to the main route of travel in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Seven miles by horse or wagon would be doable as a days trip both ways. For "meetings" they may have stayed over with someone, especially if the meetings tended to drag on into the evening. It took me a while to find Day. It appears that it doesn't really exist much anymore, kind of been absorbed by Horseshoe Bend. IF, and that's a big *IF*, I'm interpreting the sentence right, and the fork mentioned is the fork of the Little Strawberry River and Strawberry River, it appears that Newhope would have been about a mile and a half South-East of Wiseman. Figuring approximately seven miles between Wheeling and Wiseman and another mile and a half to two miles to the location that would make it about right for the "eight to ten" miles from Prosperity given in the records.

Fern, is this the Ronnie Floyd who lives on the hiway between Calico and Brockwell ?

Mom is Sibyl Montgomery. She had 4 sisters: Von, Gynon, Bernice, and Doris. Aunt Von married into The McVey family in Oxford - down that road! ! ! I can remember going there at Christmas once. They way I understand it - they lived at Wiseman, but after school consolidation, they all went to school at Violet Hill.  Violet Hill and Oxford were major competition playing ball around there.  So that and church were big meeting places for young people. Young folks will find each other. Still, John Patrick Montgomery had a farm on that road and mom's folks lived there when she was little.  Her dad, Clifton, rented another farm for a year or two too - maybe Tedford's or next to 'the glade' - she is napping now and I'm not perfectly sure on this one. That would have to be around 1930. Then they moved back to the other side of Wiseman - down the Violet Hill Road and across the river. Such a small world ! ! !

Sorry to be so long getting back to this. We had something come up and left little time to research this a bit. If you go directly North out of Wiseman about five miles the road turns west and comes to the highway just south of Wheeling. Looking at the map I found it appears to be about seven miles between the two by that route. That would probably be closer to the main route of travel in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Seven miles by horse or wagon would be doable as a days trip both ways. For "meetings" they may have stayed over with someone, especially if the meetings tended to drag on into the evening. It took me a while to find Day. It appears that it doesn't really exist much anymore, kind of been absorbed by Horseshoe Bend. IF, and that's a big *IF*, I'm interpreting the sentence right, and the fork mentioned is the fork of the Little Strawberry River and Strawberry River, it appears that Newhope would have been about a mile and a half South-East of Wiseman. Figuring approximately seven miles between Wheeling and Wiseman and another mile and a half to two miles to the location that would make it about right for the "eight to ten" miles from Prosperity given in the records.
