You might want to contact the Searcy County Court and see if there is a record of the trial. Here's contact information I found: Searcy County P.O. Box 935 Marshall, AR 72650-0297 Telephone: (870) 448-3807 The folks at the Jim G. Ferguson Searcy County Library are also very helpful and they are at: East Main Street HC 80 Box 11 Marshall, AR 72650 I'm finding two email addresses for them: [email protected] and [email protected] If you get a good date, you might also want to look at the newspapers of the time, both in Searcy County and in Little Rock for articles. The Arkansas State History Commission in Little Rock has a newspaper library, and you can request the newspapers on microfilm at your local library via Interlibrary Loan. http://arkansashistory.arkansas.com/resource_types/newspapers/ - Heather http://surgery.uchicago.edu/hblair/ On Sun, 5 Jun 2005 [email protected] wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2V.2ADE/1833 > > Message Board Post: > > I am searching for any information on The murder of Flora Hightower ( my grandmother Nona M.
