Having names and dates for kinfolk is great until or unless you have achieved all that you think are necessary to complete a blood line in a particular area. After that you sit around and look at the volumes of information you have acquired over the years and start to wonder why. Why did he do this? Why did he go there? To this end it looks like History time. What was happening in the World and Eldorado in particular to make a seemingly happy man with a home and family pick up and move his family to another state. Was William Robert Beasley the stable family man he appears to be 100 years later. Was he a dreamer looking for greener pastures or was he a trouble maker invited to leave town before someone kicked his behind. William Robert Beasley would have been 35 to 40 years old when he moved from Eldorado to Arkansas. His brother James Wiley Beasley a respected man was the barber in town and probably by then the Police Chief although I have no dates for that yet. What ever happened to his father Isaac (Asa) or his sisters Mary B, Lucy, Isabell,and Carey? Was William Robert ever called Bill or was it Robert or Bob? Willimina Choisser his wife had family in Eldorado also so moving must have been a scary thing to do in the early 1900s with a passel of kids in toe. There must not have been any animosity against the town because One of his daughters Bess did come back to own and run a flower shop in Eldorado and other family members have gone back to visit for years. What ever happened is probably not in the history books but in someone's written records of family and friends of the time. Williams house burned to the ground in Marmaduke Arkansas so there goes that possible batch of records. I have what was available from Bess, Irene, Mary, Gail and Roy Basil. Robert Lee and Luther apparently had nothing to offer in this regard. I keep hoping that some one in Eldorado kept a Diary and that atleast one line pertains to William and Willimina good bad or indifferent. Has anybody found that Diary yet?
