Liz, The only school that I knew of in Franklin is the one build about 1870 and burned 1971. If you have the book, Earlier Schools of Izard Co, on page 57 is a picture of a painting I did of the School. I paint it from a photo of Joel Roberts, first day of school, with the school in the background. That photo is in the Izard County History Vol 3 No. 4, October 1972, on page 8 as part to the History of Franklin written to Tommy Simpson. The date below this picture taken says 1937, this is wrong , Joel was not born at that time. I think it should be about 1955 the picture was taken. What is the site address for the Violet Hill Schools? I will look and see what's is on there.

I have a picture of a gravestone in Roselawn Cemetery for Johnie Berry Dec 17, 1901 Dec 12 1942 and Nora Berry May 4, 1909 Feb 6, 1997 I've not found an obiruary and the only information I can find is on rootsweb where it list these dates for William George Berry and Johnie is an AKA. It also shows he's been married two times, once was to Ruby Arnold. She's buried in the Galatia Cemetery in Baxter County. Can anyone help.

Morning folks... I'm looking for info on Porter and Zella Hodges. I know nothing abt Porter other than the 1930 census says he was born in Missouri around 1902, was married to Zella, and they had 3 kiddos, Lorene, Berenice and Irma who were 6, 4 and 1 month old in 1930. They were living in Harrison, AR then. His wife Zella was the daughter of Owen Baxter "Fat" Lawrence and Willie Hester Hanks Lawrence. She was born in 1906, probably on 9/15/06. I am seeking birth and death info on Porter, his burial site and who his parents were. I did find a Porter Hodge (no s) buried in the Maplewood Cemetery in Harrison but I don;t know if that is him or not. Looks like he died in 1983. Zella doesn't appear to be there per the records I looked at. For Zella, I am seeking her death date/location and place of burial. Additionally, I am seeking photographs of these folks. I have only one of Zella with her dad and uncles taken in the 1960s. Thanks in advance! Rick Lawrence - Tulsa, OK

Hello June: Yes, Claud is my dad's brother and Bytha Neel was his wife, I met them in 1961 when I took Dad to visit. Also met his sisters Ethel Taylor and Hester Bridgman. The Clara is my dad's second wife, she died in IL and dad had her moved to Lunenburg, which he called his family cemetery. He said he wanted to buried there too, so when he died, my sister had him moved from Grapevine, TX. Thanks for writing.
