    1. [KYHART-L] Roll Call/LOGSDON
    2. Hello, I'm relatively new to this list-- Thanks and farewell to Angela-- Welcome and good luck to Edward-- My one and only surname search in Hart Co. (at least at this point in time) is for Logsdon, Paul. I've been on the list for a couple of months now, and after 15 years of searching-- I'm not sure that I'm any closer. Although there seems to be a Logsdon in most listers family groups-- no one has been able to determine if the "Paul" I'm searching for is connected. So, I've been at a brick wall for about 15 years. Problem is Paul evidently didn't want to leave clear tracks to his history and life-- Basically, he worked for the railroad-- I would guess one that ran through Forrest City, AR (Iron Mountain, etc.) He was born in 1885, or thereabouts in KY according to my mother's birth cert. By 1911 he must have married ANNIE WOLFF of Forrest City, AR; by 1912, they were living in St. Louis, MO with Logsdon relatives (cousins/uncles) and he was working as a brakeman for the railroad. In Aug., 1912 he and Annie had a dau., Pauline, born at the Maternity Hospital, St. Louis. At this point-- the trail ends-- he evidently abandoned his wife and dau. somewhere around 1913 or 1914, and Annie died in 1915 in Memphis, TN. If anyone has a Logsdon that matches any of the above information, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Surely, if his birthdate is narrowed down to the late 1880s, this would be the key information. Regards, Maribette Sifford (dau. of Pauline Logsdon)
