Is there information available about what was going on at Evening Shade between 1870-80. My James H. Gardner family who had been residence of that area at least by the 1830s is not to be found after the 1870 census although one daughter Tempy Jane Gardner did marry a Goodman in 1879 (don't have the document) in Sharp Co. and headed South to around Union Co, AR, then TX, then back to Polk Co. It seems strange that a family who had lived in the same place so long just left with no traces. Any ideas? Thanks, Jan Gardner Kuykendall
