The Ozark National Wildlife Club was located near Bass on the Eastern edge of Newton County. It sold several times. I believe the last name it had was Lost Mountain Estates or something with Lost Mountain in it. The land (What's left of it) is now up for sale at a $1,000 per acre. The air strip and the land where the motel, restaurant and bunk house sat have already been sold as have some of the other acreage.

We lived in Harrison, AR about 8 years ago when personal tragedy and illness struck causing us to move back to Missouri. As soon as our 2nd daughter graduated she moved back to those beautiful Ozark Hills and now lives in Newton County on Mt. Sherman with her husband and three darling little children. Illness still keeps me in Missouri but I at least get to make trips back to Newton county on a fairly regular basis.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: FOX, HARKLEROAD Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/xV.2ADE/830 Message Board Post: John Fox and Ellen Harkleroad They were probably buried together about 1900 when they reportedly died in a farm fire. The children survived the fire, and their names were: Louis ( 1892 ) Ida ( 1894 ) Carrie ( likely my grandmother ) ( 1895 ) John ( Dec 1897 ). I found these children on the 1900 census of Proctor, Crittenden County, pg 28 of 40. They were apparently in the foster care of a woman named Lealier Bird. 10 years later Carrie and John were living with Bud Harkleroad in Memphis. Uncles I've found on later census' with Carrie were likely: "BUD" Harkleroad born 1870 in Arkansas ( 1910 census ) Arthur Harkleroad born 1880 in Arkansas. ( 1920 census with Bud...not with Carrie ) With perhaps a Henrietta Young was somehow related to Carrie, as I find her on the 1900 census of Crittenden with a man called Tobe Harkleroad, who was 25, head of the house, and listed Henrietta ( born 1844 in Arkansas ) as his mother. I have carefully gone through online census records, and just can't find this family together....the fire destroying the 1890 census really hurt in this case. I have found land grant records in Newton county in 1889 and 1891 for a John and Ellen Fox , but have been uncertain if these are really the parents....the census records mentioned above more firmly tie to the few memories that exist for Carrie. On her Social Security application she stated she had been born 1895 ( October or November ).

I have been searching for a Mary Pierce, b. c. 1860s AR, daughter of Morgan Pierce & Martha Jane Hines. All I knew was that she married a SMITH in Arkansas and stayed in Arkansas. Morgan moved back to Lincoln Co., MO by 1870. There is a Nathaniel SMITH and Mary PEARCE married Apr. 7, 1881 in Newton Co., Ark. I believe that this may be the Mary I'm looking for. Morgan's youngest daughter, Lydia Francis PIERCE FLANAGAN married Jesse Hamilton in Newton County in 1889, so I knew there had to be a connection to this county. Any help is appreciated. I noticed there is a Nathaniel Smith age 8, adopted, listed with the Mark SMITH family in 1900, is this a son of Nathaniel & Mary? Thank you.

>From a Snow cousin in Carroll Co., AR: Riley Snow always said that his Grand Pa, John Snow, Jr., was buried in Limestone Valley ??? He died from his wounds south of Huntsville, Ar. at War Eagle School, a makeshift hospital during the Civil War. Mary Smith Snow, John's wife, took her youngest child with her and went to Huntsville and was gone about 2 weeks. Riley Snow said he was related to the Snow's in Newton Co, Ar. The Snow Cem is not very far from Limestone Valley, Newton Co., Ar, but we have no proof. Have you heard this??  Jimmy Smith
