There ARE many, many reminants of the old railroad still visible today....most of the old Railroad beds are now county & rural roads...the old Cove road that parallels hwy 65 between Leslie and Marshall is the old RR track.....the old county road from Marshall to Zack is on the old RR track.....most all of the old RR track along the Red River from Leslie to Shirley and beyond is now old county roads.....as for other visible evidence, the great bridge trussle across the Buffalo River near the mouth of Brush Creek, near Gilbert, is still standing and quite an awesome site!!! The old concrete trussles where the RR crossed many parts of Brush Creek are still standing....some evidence of the old track can be seen driving down hwy 333 from hwy 65 to Gilbert...just look on your left when you get close to the creek just before Gilbert...there are many other signs of the old RR still around....just have to get off the main roads to see them!!! Hope this means something to somebody...my grandpa, Grover TREAT, was a RR bridge builder from 1920's to the closing of the RR in 1945-46...being a member of the RR maintenance crew kept Grover from going to WW 2.....see ya!

In the Searcy County Source Book #1 edited by Mary Frances Harrell there is an article on the Dinky Line. It states it was started about 1906, ran from Leslie to the headwaters of the Little Red River. It goes on to state it operated for some twenty odd years hauling timber out of the mountains. NOTE BY JUDY: I think it may have been a few years later than 1906. My grandfather Toby Lonzo Holsted helped to build it. I have transcribed a tape he made telling about it. He was in OK in 1906 and 1907 so I think it was 1908/1910 when it was built. If anyone is interested I will be happy to do a copy and past of the article I have and send it.

The Dinky Line ran from Leslie to the headwaters of the middle fork of the Little Red. It is shown on the county township map of about 1928. So far as I know, there is nothing left.

The old railroad track ran from Leslie to Baker to Marshall to Zack then to St joe to Pindall

What about the "Dinky Line" - where all did it go and is there any rails, tracks or signs of it being there? ----- Original Message ----- From: <mwatts@ozarkisp.net> To: <ARSEARCY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2001 11:53 PM Subject: [ARSEARCY] Re: M & NA Railroad Route through Searcy County > > > The old railroad track ran from Leslie to Baker to Marshall to Zack then to St joe to Pindall > > > ============================== > Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 > Source for Family History Online.

PS: Sarah had a brother, Pleasant Turney, who was in Batesville as early as 1829, according to some other researchers. He died in 1862 from disease as a member of the Union army at Helena. - H On 26 Jul 2001 james57@gte.net wrote: > > > I would love to have whatever information you have on the Turneys of Searcy Co., Arkansas.

My data is spotty, but I have this couple in my database with incomplete dates. Sarah Turney who married David Campbell, is the daughter of Isaac Turney and Mary Gilliam. I have that she was born in 1819, and don't have any children listed for her. Her mother died in 1859 in Searcy County. Sorry I don't have more! Let me know what else you find. - Heather On 26 Jul 2001 james57@gte.net wrote: > > > Looking for information on David Harris Campbell, who married Sarah Turney in August of 1837 in Searcy Co., Arkansas.

I would love to have whatever information you have on the Turneys of Searcy Co., Arkansas. I think my husband's ancestor, David Harris Campbell, married a Sarah Turney in 1837. I'm actually researching the Campbell side of it, but all information helps.

Looking for information on David Harris Campbell, who married Sarah Turney in August of 1837 in Searcy Co., Arkansas. I think this might be the father of James Pleasant Campbell, who is my husband's gg grandfather.

I have a Lulu C. McCutcheon who was born September 9, 1893 in West Virginia. My great uncle thought she married a man names Harold Guyer, but was not sure. Good luck in your search.

Looking for information on the children of Walter Kellogg and Ruth Lucille Moore.Ruth is my Aunt.She was born 08/02/1911 in Iowa and died 02/28/1990 in Searcy County,Arkansas.

Hi, I just started searching my family history, My father was Robert Grimes,he had a younger brother named Jesse, they were born in Indiana,moved to Arkansas in the late 1890's,Their father was Thomas F. Grimes, mother Elizabeth Hancock Grimes. We know that from what Dad told us, that Jesse lived in Searcy,Ar. died there on the white river in a boating accident. i don't know this to be fact, as i haven't found any paperwork on it. They also had a younger sister Jane,3 other brothers William, John,and charlie. I hope this helps you. I have a little more information,if this is your line, Please let me know,any other info. you have about any of them please share with me. Thank you, Jean Sharrer(grimes)

I HAVE A G.G.AUNT WILLA BURNETTE B.AUG.1894 SHE MARRIED A JESSE GRIMES. THEYHAD A SON ALEX. ANY INFO PLEASE HELP!!!!!

The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy; He will rest in his love, He will joy over thee with singing! -Zephaniah 3:17

My grandmother Virginia Lee was a Mohundro (this is the spelling I have Mohudro) before marrying my grandfather Aubrey A. Fluitt. My name is Cynthia Fluitt if anyone has information about my grandmother please email at cynthiafluitt@hotmail.com.

William Pierce (Pearce) moved to the Tomahawk area after 1850 from Wayne COunty (possible now Lewis or Perry, lines have moved).. as best I have the information he was married to Elizabeth Grinder, probabaly sister to Sam Grinder of "Grinder's Ferry" on the Buffalo.. over the next decade he had 4 children that I know of from the Census. There was William Robert, my gg-grandfather. There was John Wesley, who is the patriarch of many of my california cousins, and who eventually died in Cameron, Leflore Co., OK. There was James David, who has disappeared from sight, and Tabitha, who undoubtably married and disappeared. William served in the "Late Unpleasantness" on the Union side, being in Co. M of the 3rd Arkansas with many other Searcyites. He had been a member of the Peace Society, but was able to avoid the big roundup and the chain gang. When the war ended, he returned home, but obviously didnt stay long. He disappears from the Tomahawk Pierce family, and appears marr! ied to the widow Stacey Sikes Cotton down in Red River township, near Murillo, where he raises three more daughters, Edna, Nancy, and Sarah. He died there in Aug 1902 and was buried in Trace Ridge cemetery. I am looking for the other Tomahawk Pierce families to try and see if there are connections. I am seeking Cottons who might be able to pass on any tales of William. I am looking for any traces of James or Tabitha, and their eventual disposition. I have a web site at http://www.texsteve.com/gen where I chronicle these and other Searcy/Stone/Van Buren/Marion families.
