( I have had numerous requests regarding the Lincoln Ledger. Don't know if I can answer them or not. I was in a hurry yesterday when I was at the Hist. Com., but did note the following: The earliest issue I found was a single issue dated May 29, 1896, two issues dated June 10 and Dec. 9, 1898, single issue dated May 12, 1899, single issue dated Nov. 14, 1907, and single issue dated Dec. 10, 1909. ) Dec 10, 1909: Grover Atkinson, accompanied by W.E. Lee, left Star City last Saturday for Clio, where he led to the altar Miss Etta Tolson. The happy couple were married at Mt. Carmel church Sunday, Rev. A.L. Rogers officiating. We understand they will make their future home in Star City, Grover having secured rooms from Will Grumbles. We welcome them to our city and with a host of friends wish them much happiness as they journey through life. The G.S.W. Ry. trains are not running regular these days. The passenger service is out. This is a great disappointment to our people. We hope the officials will soon have their road in shape so that we can get regular service. Mrs. Lizzie Stewart has rented the Traweek property from Judge H.B. Lucas and will soon move into town. She has rented her farm to her brother, George Roberts, who has been residing in Ashley county. By an oversight we failed to mention in our last week's issue the visit of Mr. Ed Tarver's wife and child of Dallas, Texas. They spent the week in Star City and vicinity, the guest of Capt H.H. Tarver and family. J.H. McPherson has moved from the Ligon residence to the property on the east side of town known as the Norton property, which was purchased by J.W. McPherson. I.L. Vick was in town Wednesday with several nice hogs for sale, which he had no trouble in disposing of. Carter & Nobles are making an addition to their store house. A. Verdue and son are doing the work. We learn that Mr. and Mrs. J.A. McFalls are the happy parents of a new girl who made her appearance at their home Monday last. J.W. and D.B. Lyman were down from their farm this week for a couple of days. Miss Edna Lyman is at home sick. On account of which she had to give up her school at Tyro. Dock Touchstone has moved to the Bayou on the Bacon place. The Town Council authorizes the Ledger to say that the Ordinances against the use of Liquors and the use of fire works in the town will be strictly and ridgedly enforced, a hint to the wise is sufficient. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Lincoln Ledger, Dec. 1919: A wedding was solemnized Sunday afternoon on the big road between Star City and Mountian Home, when Arvin Carrington of this place and Miss Thelma Wimberly of Rest, both of prominent families of Lincoln county, were married by Rev. M.O. Barnett. Lee Fish and Miss Virginia Cogbill were married recently, but when, where and by whom we have not been advised, therefore, we are unable to give a more extended notice of the wedding. Recently the following persons renewed their subscriptions for the Ledger, to whom we extend sincere thanks for their continued support and allegiance to the county paper: Rufus Grumbles, M.A. Huckaby, Elbert Vick, Fred Morrison, Mrs. Bettie Johnson, J.R. Lee, H.A. Nobles, E.M. Rucker, C.T. Owen, formerly of Lincoln county, but now of Pine Bluff, Norman Fullbright. Dr. Weatherall reports a girl born to Mr. and Mrs. Willis Johnson on the 5th and also a girl to Mr. and Mrs. Herman Bush on the 7th inst. E.C. Norton is back from St. Louis slightly disfigured but still in the ring. The sore on his under lip is disappearing and E.C. will soon be able to say, "Richard is himself again." We are told that Mrs. John Ratterree, residing near Garnet is very low with cancer and not expected to live many more days. The lady has been unconscious for over four weeks. Better take your umbrellas when you go out in town Dec. 17. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Neptune, Jupiter and Saturn will be in conjunction that day, and a scientist predicts cataclysmic weather. The Ledger regrets that it was deemed necessary to again place Will Atkinson in the hospital for nervous diseases at Little Rock. The unfortunate gentleman was carried to that institution a few days ago. Grady is forging to the front as well as Star City. In our live and progressive town a new brick hotel is being erected and also several frame residences. E.R. Whitehead and family have moved from Moscow to Star City and are occupying the former home of Judge H.R. Lucas. We welcome this excellent family to our shores. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place. Yahoo!

Lincoln Ledger, Nov. 15, 1907 Married: Nov. 10th, 1908 (sic), Mr. Wm. W. Mullikin to Miss Mary Muckleroy at the residence of the bride's step-father, Mr. John Blassengame, C.H. Lyman officiating. News from Rest: Every Monday morning finds us hunting for the wood pile. C.H. Russell made a trip to Warren this week prospecting. Jeff Haddox and Guy Moran left last week for Texas. Guy said: "Need not look for him back until some body sold cotton as his pocket book was in such a condition that you would think an elephant had stepped on it." W.E. Newton is confined to his room most of the time on account of his large toes. (what does that mean, gout?) M.M. West made a trip to Pine Bluff this week to market some pork. He says, "it beats cotton selling." We understand that Sam Clowers of Relfs Bluff, who has been a constant vistor to Mr. J.W. Russell's for a couple of years, called late Sunday night and had business of a private nature with Rev. W.H. Newton. Perhaps at next writing we can tell what his troubles were. Every body is making preparations for the Presbytery which will convene at Newton's Chapel on Saturday the 16th. A large delegation is expected. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place. Yahoo!

Hi Wendy; I have been monitoring the list for a while now. I have just unearthed information a Calvin H. Brown. A homicide occurred Sept 1, 1934 where he died from a Knife Wound , causing his death to be recorded in Lincoln County. He lived in the Hudgen Creek Area of Cleveland County, just west of the county line of Lincoln County. Buried in Shady Grove Cemetery, in Lincoln County. There should be an obituary or some article of news ,concerning this murder or this death. There should have been some record in the Sheriff's office or the court house of Lincoln County concerning this incident . This individual was only 19 years old at the time of his death. He was buried by Ralph Robinson and Son of Pine Bluff, in the Shady Grove Cemetery . I am confident someone in Lincoln County may have information or suggestions as to more information on this subject. This subject is a cousin to me. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Ira Van Brown II

Smith Township was in Drew County [the Lincoln part] in 1846. It was abolished between 1850-60 and recreated between 1860-70. In 1871 it became part of Lincoln County when Lincoln was formed. The extreme se part was f rom Desha and the other from Drew. Bayou Bartholomew was the dividing line from nw to se with Well Bayou Twshp being on the other side. The southern border of Smith was the Drew line. The Smith Township people in 1850 are in the Drew Co. Census. Rebecca

Ya'll are a good bunch to be with on a maillist!! I appreciate all your help. Now, I have another question!! What was going on, industry wise, in Lincoln and Desha Cos. during the late 1930's to early 1940's. I have noticed that quite a few people left Yell and Pope Cos., AR, and moved to the area. Anyone have ideas about it?? Jann __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Thousands of Stores. Millions of Products. All in one place. Yahoo!

The USGNIS shows Feenyville in Glendale. Of course Feenyville may have moved from where my family knew it to be to Glendale. Wendy

I have the Arkansas Master Death Index from 1914 to 1923 and will be happy to do look-ups for people. Please try to be as specific as possible, although, I know that not all of us have a lot of information to go on. The people listed are in alphabetical order and would look like this in the book: (this is an actual name from the book) TARVE, JEFFIE - MISS - 06/06/1914 Name, County, death date Your request does not have to be in Lincoln County. Wendy

I have added more information to the Township portion of the Lincoln County Page. http://rootsweb.com/~arlincol/tshipmap.html I will also try to scan in the new map of 1990 eventually to compare the two maps. Anyone else out there besides me and Peg that have family pictures of Lincolners to submit? I have added a face to the obits, so to speak. The Arkansas Gazette has been updated. The obits have been updated. Should be receiving the rest of the cemetery resident information today or tomorrow. Any broken links, please notify me. Wendy
