    3. Hi Nancy My letter to you bounced so am posting this to the mailing list. none of those names are familiar to me. Do you know what town Grace lived in when she married Dr. Bevill? The Hunts that I am researching were mostly from Blue Ball, though some did live in and around Waldron. How old was she when she married him? That would give you an apx year of her birth. I will keep your message and if I come across a Hunt with a wife and children of those names I will be glad to let you know. "N. L.

    1. Help......Cain-McCormack by Aleene Chancey Shurbert
    2. I need help, please. I received a Xerox copy of a page from a book. The title of the book is unknown. The place was probably Little Rock Arkansas Library, but not sure. This is a portion of the article that appeared in the book. "It is believed that Margaret McCormack Cain wife of William W., was related to William Alexander McCormack who lived near Nola. His father was Angus McCormack and his mother was Sally Dodd. His grandfathers were Alexander McCormack and William Dodd. William A. McCormack was born in Scott Co., AR. He is buried in the parks Cemetery near Nola. Written by: Aleene Chancey Shubert" Does anyone know anything about this article or its writer, Aleene Chancey Shurbert? William Alexander McCormack was my great-grandfather and I would like to know how to prove the truth of this article. I've never found any information in my searching, about the parents of Wm. A. McCormack. If anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it. Please e-mail me at: bcencarik@aol.com. Thanks, Billie

    1. WILLIAM PRESTON MORROW OF INDIANA & ARKANSAS
    2. Charlene Holland
    3. Hi all! Still looking for information about the parents of my great grandfather, William Preston Morrow (descendant outline below). His parents were supposedly both born in Indiana, although family stories say they may have been born in Ireland. W.P. may have had at least one brother, name unknown who had a son Ike Morrow who was born December 1886 in Arkansas and probably died in Oklahoma. Ike married Winnie M. Pitts July 10, 1910 in Scott County Arkansas. She was born March 1891 in Arkansas and probably also died in Oklahoma. Her parents were: Joseph W. "Billy" Pitts and Nancy M. Cain. William Preston Morrow may also have had at least one sister, Nancy A. Morrow who was born January 16, 1864? in Indiana and died May 23, 1927? [not sure of these dates] in Scott County, Arkansas, buried at Blackfork Cemetery. [not sure this is correct.] Nancy married James W. Jones, Jr. about 1881 in Scott County Arkansas. He was the brother of Melvina Jones who married William Preston Morrow. James was born March 1864 in Scott County, Arkansas and died after 1920. His parents were James W. (William?) Jones and LuVicy James Any clues as to who the parents of William P. Morrow would be appreciated, or any additional information on descendants.

    1. Happy New Year
    2. Delaine Edwards
    3. I hope the year 2000 will bring each of you some long sought after breakthroughs in your genealogy research. The following story appeared in today's issue of the Fort Smith Times Record and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have: CENTURY OF A WOMAN Waldron Centenarian Rings in 2000 With Birthday Bash By Pam Smith A life of hard work is what seems to have kept one Waldron woman going strong for a century. As she celebrates her 100th birthday today with family and friends, Georgia Hunt will not only reflect on the tough times but also will celebrate the good times. Born Jan. 2, 1900, in Knoxville, Tenn., Hunt was the oldest of six children of Geretta and Robert Reed. Her father met and married her mother in Knoxville. She speculates she was named for the state of Georgia, where her father was discharged from the Spanish-American War. When she was 8, her father wanted to "go west." He packed up the family and moved to Oklahoma, settling in the small town of Crowder for a few months before moving to McAlester to work for the railroad, said Hunt. "McAlester was the best schooling I got," reminisced Hunt, who recalled that tennis was offered for the girls. "It was modern for the time." Hunt had big plans to finish school and get her teaching certificate. However, three years later there was another move--this time her father wanted to try his hand at farming. "We came over here in a covered wagon," said Hunt who remembered that her father tied a cow to the wagon for the trip. "I was gonna ride the horse and (the cow) broke loose," she said, voice racing with excitement. "The horse threw me off; we had quite a time." The family's trip to Arkansas took about three to four days. "We just brought what we had in the wagon," she said. "We'd stop and camp at night, build a fire and cook a bite to eat. "One place we stopped and made some coffee and couldn't drink the coffee because the water was so bad," she added. Hunt said her father was originally headed for the apple orchards of Lincoln from McAlester but had to cut the trip short in Waldron. "Momma was sick most of the trip," she said. "We got to Waldron because Momma wasn't able to go any further." Hunt remembers pulling into the farmlands around Waldron, the fields white with cotton. "We'd never seen any cotton till we got here," she said. The family settled on a farm six miles south of town on government land her father purchased. Hunt was not impressed with the county schools in the Waldron area. "I was trying to be a teacher. He ruined my education; I couldn't come here to get my certificate. I've been put out about that ever since," she said, still angry with her father for moving her away from the McAlester schools. For Hunt, socializing at that time amounted to playing checkers, attending ice cream suppers and eating watermelon. Church singings and revivals provided Sunday entertainment. Church was where she met a neighbor boy, Howell Hunt. Thirteen years old at the time, the two spent a lot of time together at church, where Howell's father was the preacher. The couple married June 13, 1915. Sewn by her mother, the bride's white dress was made from linen cloth that cost 50 cents. The union produced nine children, with the first child arriving in 1916. Life on the farm, according to Hunt, was "dull." She remained on the farm with her husband until they divorced in 1943. The single mother moved her family to town and went to work caring for children and the sick in the hospitals. She also cleaned house and did laundry for others. Hunt remembers the arrival of electricity. "I was living here in town and I was washing for people," she recalled. "I got me an electric washing machine. "I worked to put the kids through school," added Hunt, who worked until she was 80 years old. Although she wouldn't trade anything for her indoor plumbing, microwave oven and television, Hunt believes the greatest achievement during her lifetime was highway development. "When they started building this highway through here, (U.S.) 71, it was a mud road," she said. "You did well to get through town." Never having driven a car in her life, Hunt has managed to travel from California to Canada to Florida--by airplane. In her younger days, the self-proclaimed shop-a-holic would do some damage in downtown Fort Smith. She'd catch a bus from Waldron to Fort Smith and shop up and down the stores along Garrison Avenue, returning home with an armful of packages. Hunt's first hospital admission came in 1996, when she was 96 years old and suffering from a bout of dehydration. Although her eyesight is failing, she's had no major health problems since. "That's my biggest problem," she said, "I can't see. I love books. I love to read. I can't make out the words." The centenarian attributes her longevity to hard work and claims there are no secrets to living 100 years. "I always worked all my life," she said. "I just love to help people when they needed help." As she looks to the future, Hunt doesn't worry about herself. She's too busy worrying about her 35 grandchildren and her many great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. "If China comes over here and takes over, what's gonna happen to those little ones?" she queried. "I can't help but worry about that." Hunt isn't concerned with the dawning of the year 2000. "I don't think it's gonna be so bad. I don't feel in any danger," she said. "There's been different times when they predicted the world was coming to an end. "The Bible says not even the angels know. I don't see no use to worry about it," she added. "Just be prepared and ready for it when it does come."

I know that I had not thought of this and my home and work computer would have failed Jan 1st. Easy fix, but somthing Microsoft sems to have missed in certifying their software as Y2K compliant. Simple to do, but very important! Click on SETTINGS double click on "Control Panel" Scroll down and dbl click on "Regional Settings" (the little world globe) Click on the "Date" tab at the top of the page Where it says "Short Date Sample", look and see if it shows a "2 digit " year format, ie. (YY). Unless you've previously changed it (and I didn't know it was there......LOL) - it will set incorrectly with just the 2 YY's. It needs to be four! That's because Microsoft made the 2 digits setting the default setting for Windows 95 & 98, and NT. This date format selected is the date that Windows feeds "ALL" application software and will not rollover into the year 2000; It will roll over to the year 00.

However, every "as distributed" installation of Windows worldwide is defaulted to fail Y2K rollover...

    1. Kennon family of Yell and Scott Counties
    2. Charlene Holland
    3. Hi I am looking for information about the James H. Kennon family below. I found him in Scott County in the 1910 census. This census indicated that this couple had 14 children with 9 still living. In 1910 there were still six sons in the household, listed below. The first child listed, Pearl Ann Kennon, may be a daughter of this family but this has not been proven. I believe this family may have been in Yell County in 1900. James H. Kennon was born about 1863 in Alabama, and according to the 1910 census his father was born in Alabama, and his mother born in Tennessee. He married Mollie (surname unknown) about 1883. According to the 1910 census this was his first marriage and they had been married 27 years. Children of James Kennon and Mollie are: i. Pearl Ann Kennon (It is not proven, that Pearl is a child of this family.), born October 17, 1887 in Arkansas, and according to 1920 census her father was born Tennessee, and mother born Arkansas. She is first found in the 1910 Census of Dutch Creek, Yell County with first husband and in 1920 she is found with her second husband in Hunt Twp #190/193 in Scott County. She died December 8, 1982 in Scott County, Arkansas, and is buried at Union Hill Cemetery. She married (1) Golden B. Hunt December 23, 1906 in Scott County, Arkansas (Scott County Marriage Book C, page 500. He was 19, she was19 and they were both from Blue Ball). She married (2) Clement E. Wade February 8, 1919 in Scott County, Arkansas (Scott County Marriage Book E, page 147). The next six children were found with John H. and Mollie Kennon in the 1910 census in Scott County ii. Vernie A. Kennon, born about 1893 and died in late 1970's. He married Nora Jones August 3, 1912 in Scott County Arkansas by J.C. Oglesbee, M.G.(Scott County Marriage Book D, Page 300. He was 19 of Gravelly and she was 16 of Scott County, probably from Nola.). Nora Jones was born February 1897 and died in the late 1960's Her parents were William Smith"Bill" Jones and Julia Henson iii. Charles E. Kennon, born about 1895. iv. Lester Kennon, born about 1900. v. Roscoe Kennon, born about 1902. vi. James R. Kennon, born about 1906. vii. Ople Kennon, born about 1909. Who where their other children? Was Pearl actually a daughter of this family, and if not who were her parents? What happened to these people after 1910? Charlene Holland
