Griffithville / Dogwood area info needed "Brick Wall" To: ARSEARCY-L@rootsweb.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 5.0 for Windows sub 110 Hello Everyone, My Grandparents and Ggrandparents are from this area. They are all buried in Dogwood Cemetery. I have been back and forth with Little Rock about getting death certificates for three of them. They tell me there is no death certificate for all three of them. Dogwood Church which sits on Dogwood Cemetery say they have know records. Without this info I am at a wall. Yes, I have been to the White Co, web site. Yes, Under Old Dogwood Cemetery two are listed there and yes I have been to Dogwood Cemetery myself. I was there for a funeral in March. No, I do not live in Arkansas my Mother was born there and some elders of the family are still there. The elders I did talk to when I was there can not remember or it was before there time. Below are the names I need info on. 1. Minnie Elzora Lane MATTHEWS She was the second wife to James P. ( Phillip ) MATTHEWS married in White Co., Ark. 1911 I was told. And her father signed for her he signed as W.H. LANE. She has no headstone at Dogwood elders said it crumbled away years ago I'm really stuck here! I was told they thought she or her father might of been from MO. Not sure. They say she was 14 or 15 when she got married. I was told she died at age 20 from the flu. This is word of mouth so give or take a few years. Her daughter ( my grandmother ) named at time of birth was Fannie ( Francis ) Elzora MATTHEWS. She married Johnny B. ROGERS in Feb 1932 in White County, Ark. My grandmother was born in Sept 3,1914. She was about 2 yrs old at the time of her Mothers death. This is why there is no info on her. James remarried and info was lost and never talked about back then. I am trying to find info on Minnie like where she was born at etc. And with no death certificate I have nothing at all to go on. 2. Otis S. ROGERS and wife ( Elizabeth ) Bettie B. Latture ROGERS Otis died 1940 headstone says and Bettie only says she was his wife and died 1902 age 32 years old. They don't have their death certificates either. My grandfather ( Johnny B. ROGERS ) was born Sept 3, 1912. Yes, same day as my grandmother. Please help I really need it. Maybe someone has books, or works for the courthouse. Maybe there death certificates are stuck at local level. I don't know what to think. It's not like they all died at t
