Posted on: Miller County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Miller/154 Surname: PRUITT, RAMSEY, HENDREN ------------------------- Linda, The newspaper more than likely would have been the TEXARKANA GAZETTE as it published obits and news items for many of those small Miller County towns like Boyd, Fouke, Fairland and Independence. The deed records should be at the Texarkana, ARKANSAS court house, the county seat. Do you know if your Great-grandmother RACHEL RAMSEY had a brother named (Edward or Edmond) ED RAMSEY that married PARALEE HENDREN (1875-1948) at Fouke on 11-12-1898? Uncle Ed was born in 1874 and died in 1934 at Fouke, Arkansas where he and Aunt Paralee had lived throughout their marriage. I am descended from Aunt Paralee's sister, ELIZA ANN HENDREN SANDERS (1869-1969), my grandmother, who also lived at Fouke ~ well, actually closer to Independence and Fairland. The Hendrens had moved to the area from near Langston, Jackson County, Alabama around 1893-5. Believe they had known some of the Ramseys in Alabama too.
