I am seeking any kind of information about Milissa Anderson who died in Johnson County, AR in 1896. In an interview several years ago with Mr. Heard, retired Postmaster at Knoxville, AR, he said that Milissa Anderson lived across the river from Knoxville. The place may have been Dublin. Milissa was a widow and may have worked as a domestic in someone's home. She lived in Johnson County from 1892 until her death in 1896. Location of burial site, newspaper obituary, or copies of any court documents involving Milissa will be much appreciated. Ray Shirley RAYMOND SHIRLEY SR. rshirley@icx.net Why Wait?

Hist. Soc. information can be found at: http://www.oklahoma.net/~pvtspark/johnson.html A general "Newspapers" comment I have posted before - There were many short-lived newspapers in Clarksville in the period before 1912, but few copies exist, only in scattered editions and dates. From about 1912 on there is a good collection on microfilm at the Arkansas History Commission in Little Rock (some scattered dates are missing up to about 1920). Those earlier editions which do exist are also there on microfilm, but sometimes are just fragments of pages. They do have a card catalog of the paper names and dates. You could inquire with them as to the existence of editions for a particular date. Be sure to ask for Clarksville and Johnson County. If you have time to do the research, also check for papers in Conway, Russellville, Dardanelle, and Ft. Smith from the period, as the History Commission has those which exist, and with traffic on the river, there were mentions in nearby towns of important news. 1926 - In this period there was a weekly paper. It was at different times the Clarksville Democrat, The Herald, and eventually the Herald-Democrat, but I don't have the years/names at hand. These are also on microfilm at the History Commission. They are also on film at the Clarksville Library. You would want to look at the two editions following the date of a person's death. Look at the local interest columns of at least two weeks after, as even for those who did not have a formal obituary, there was often a mention of the funeral or people who had returned to visit the family. There might also be a card of thanks from the family. The Arkansas Gazette had statewide coverage. The Arkansas Democrat also carried statewide obituaries and news of note. Again, the Arkansas History Commission is a good source, as well as the central library in Little Rock for both of these. For state obituaries, the information provided will be very minimal unless the person was a well known figure.
