Hello Izard and Sharp County listers... I thought I'd pass this along...it was in the Batesville Guard yesterday. Virginia took my genealogy class this winter at UACCB here in Batesville, and was very interested in both genealogy and history. I know that at one time she had been on both of these lists, if not more, and always enjoyed learning more about her families. We'll miss her....
