Hi Leann, I'm told that the "Times Dispatch" didn't begin saving newspapers until 1960 sometime You might want to check the Newspapers in Randolph Co though... The times Dispatch is online at: http://www.thetd.com/ The birth & death cert. will have to come from the Vital Records office in Little Rock. but they don't have births or deaths recorded prior to 1914. You might want to visit "Nancy's Lawrence Co. Corner" website where she has most if not all cemeteries in Lawrence Co., and she has a great search engine on the site. http://users.ritternet.com/nlmatthews You might want to check with the funeral homes in the area. I checked the cemeteries for Wm. Houston Clark and found a listing for him on this page - You might want to check the site out since it has directions to get there. BAKER CEMETERY a.k.a. Coats Cemetery Sharp County, Arkansas Blk Row Lot 5 1 6 CLARK, William H. with no dates listed. http://users.ritternet.com/nlmatthews/baker-sh.htm Use the search engine to see if his name is listed in other cemeteries. I don't know if this is your man or not. The Library has a cemetery book to check which might help you. Hope this helps. Jeri Helms Fultz O.K, we are going this weekend to Arkansas, to the Powhatan courthouse, and we are going to camp there also. What other places do I need to visit to do research on my GG Grandfather? Any libraries, or places that would house the old newspapers from 1910-1913. Thanks for yalls help.
