Hello from Riverside County in Southern California! I am trying to verify a family story of a flood in Johnson County. Story goes that "A flash flood hit and Arthur's wife and two children, boy and girl, 6 and 9 years old, clung to each other trying to survive. Arthur was holding onto a tree and lost grip of his wife and two children. He was able to climb up in the tree and save himself. He was there the next day. His wife Isabella James Cagle had a dream the night before that she was buried in mud." Arthur Columbus Cagle born June 7, 1859 in Cherokee, Bradley County, TN. Married Isabella James September 19, 1881 in Johnson County. She was born July 1862 in Johnson County. Family living around the Clarksville, Johnson County, AR area? He remarried to Adna/Adney Griffin March 24, 1887 in Johnson Co, AR. She was born July 15, 1873 to Thomas Griffin and Sarah. No one in the family has been able to verify this story. I was wondering if there might be an existing newspaper that would have an article. Maybe at another county newspaper or the state level newspaper? If you look at the date of the first marriage 1881 and the ages of the 2 children 6 and 9 and then the date of the second marriage 1887....things just don't add up. Can anyone give any suggestions as to how to verify this story? Thank you very much. Cindy Maschner Corona, Riverside Co, CA
