My Great Uncle Frank Spurlin was county treasurer there, and lived there until his death. My great-grandfather, Frank's older brother, was William Rufus Spurlin, who was born in Tennessee in 1837. Their father's name was James Spurlin, but that is all I know about him for sure. He (James) was a deputy sheriff in Hot Springs County, where he was killed in the line of duty. Do you know of any connecton to your Spurlin line? Paula
