Thank you to everyone who replied and gave me directions to Aurora, AR! Newton CO, AR has the most wonderful people on its list! I'd never heard of the town; it wasn't on my map, but in 1897 the Grand Army of the Republic had a main quarters there. Knowing it was in Madison CO, AR will give me a place to begin searching. Again, THANK YOU Newton CO List Members! Bevelye Ballinger Riggs bevelye@onenet.net BTW: My surnames in Newton CO: Clayborn / Hyatt / Ballinger / Sumpter
