My great-grandfather George Harvey Polk was born between 1849 and 1861. His parents were Joseph Polk and Nancy Couch, and his siblings were Nancy, Belle, Frank, William, and Seliam. He may have been born in St. Clair, County, Illinois or St. Louis, Missouri. The earliest census I've located him in is in 1900 in Calhoun County, Mississippi. He moved there in 1900 after having lived and married in Mississippi County, Arkansas. He lived in several counties of Mississippi before moving to Walker County, Alabama before 1920. His marriage to my great-grandmother (nee: Pittman) was his second marriage. He had two children from his first marriage named Pearl and Connie. Pearl was born in Tennessee and Connie in Kentucky, their births being possibly between 1895 and 1899. I have not been able to locate Pearl or Connie in any census year except 1920 where they are young adults living with their father, George Polk, in Alabama. Either Pearl or Connie may have married and moved to New York. I'm trying to find the link between George and his parents, his siblings, the daughters from his first marriage, and earlier Polk ancestors. Any information on this line would be greatly appreciated!

I wonder if the person that is coming to Osceola in June is going to one of the many reunions that will be held in June. If so, I will be happy to meet them and show them where the mausoleum is located. Joyce
Yes, there is a mausoleum in Ermin Lane Cemetery in Osceola. You will have no trouble finding it. I actually is on Ermin Lane. Joyce

Hey Donald... Looks like you are in luck. Stroud, Calvin S. Mar. 11, 1871 - Oct. 30, 1937 He must have a marker or he wouldn't be listed in the Cemetery Book for Manila. Rosetta in CA
Hey Rosetta....looks like you may have started something here....I too have been told my grandfather, Calvin Stroud, is buried in that cemetary as well but have been unable to locate his gravesite. I only got to stop by once on a Sunday but could not find anything. I live in Nashville, TN and don't get home very much anymore. Any help appreciated.

I am wondering if someone can tell (preferrable Don Wright) if there is any chance that you could be related to my Mississippi County Arkansas Wright's? Maybe you know more of your family than I do mine, I would like to write to someone about what I have/know in private. Also, may mail me privately @ mamabear@semo.net Thanks.

My Great-Great-Grandfather, Thomas BRONAUGH/BURNAUGH, is listed as living there on the 1890 Veterans' Census. I'm not sure if it's in TN or AR. It looks like it would be easier to reach from AR. On the map of AR I have, it shows several names either on or near Island 26--Tellier Island, Sadie Lee Ldg, Daniels Point Ldg, Fisher Ldg, and Ashport Ferry, and O'Donnell Bend. I'd really like to make contact with someone who knows the area well and could help me figure out how I might get to the island--and obtain a map of the island... I'm also really interested in life on the island in the 19th century--early 20th century. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Cindy Kennedy
