i dont think they are online but the people @the Lyon Library there are very helpful. Use Keyword College of The Ozarks.

Are these papers online? If so, would you send the url to the newspaper site?

This may be a different episode but the following newspaper article taken from the PATRIOT ADVERTISIER, Springfield,MO Sept 18, 1879 is published on p151 of the Index to the Taney Co., MO Federal Census transcribed by Janice Soutee Looney: quote "A DOUBLE MURDER IN TANEY COUNTY "A correspondent writes us from Forsyth under date of 16th last as follows. Our Country was on the scene last night of a double murder. There is a family residing near Kirbyville by the name of Manes, a widow lady and three or four sons. "The oldest James is married. Last evening the old lady went to her son and asked for the use of one or two of the cows belonging to the latter, when the two got into an altercation over the matter and James struck his mother. Burr Manes an older brother, seeing it came up and the two brothers got into a quarrel and James shot and killed Burr. A younger brother a boy about 16 years old being nearby, went and got a rifle, returned and waited until James came out of his house, when he shot him. "The boy is under arrest, and the Prosecuting Attorney and Coroner have gone out to where the killing was done for the purpose of holding an inquest. The end. "The widow lady was Mary Lane widow of Pleasant Manes. Pleasant was preaching at the Cedar Bluff Church located near present day Fair Grove, MO when he was taken ill. He was taken to a nearby neighbors home where he died in June 1869. "This family was on the 1860 Carrol Co., Ark census, the 1870 Boone Co., Ark census, and in 1880 they were in the Newton Co., Ark census. This is a good example of how many families of this era were on the move. "Due to the fact that the records of Taney Co. burned, it is unknown what if anything was done to Dave who was the one who shot James. Dave married Marth Ann Milsap 27 Jan 1884 in Jasper Co., Ark.

This person evidently left a cornerstone with his name, initials and symbols at the bottom of a limestone enclosure of the "Bryan" family plot in Van Zandt Cemetery, one-half mile south of Kirbyville. It has been restored in January of this year 2002. This flat was found and we would like to know of any Nichols who we connect with Jeff in order to determine when the wall was orginally laid. A widow as found in 1880 census, Martha Nichols, age 34 with six children. Three boys and three girls. The youngest child age 3 on this census. Could this be Jeff's family after his death?

School of the Ozarks has old Taney Co Newspapers. i found a 1871 murder there .

Don, Thank yu very much for the info on that particular shooting. However, the one I am looking for does involve Jim Brown killing John Manes - But there is also a possibility that the newspaper erroneously reported that Jim Brown killed James Manes. James Manes according to the following account was killed in the altercation with his brothers. Some of the Manes family stories conflict over the death of James Manes. The John Manes that I believe was killed by Jim Brown was a half-nephew to the the ones involved in the altercation over the cow as reported by the Newspaper.

Hey, howdy! Long time since I've written, I know, but I still haven't figured out how to get more than 24 hours out of a day. I'm revamping the WRV site (first link below my signature for newbies), and wanting to put some regional links in the areas covered by the White and her major tributories: the James, Buffalo and North Fork.

I will not have individual county pages on the new site, but one page of "Regional Links". These are the counties I'm going to find links for, "one way or t'other." In going through my DeLorme's Atlas & Gazetteer for AR, I was struck by how much different the White must appear in her more southern region...I probably wouldn't recognize her. (Nope, I've not been, something I must correct soon) I've been thinking it would be an interesting trip to go down and start at her head and do an odyssey through to her mouth. Think we could make a big journey, caravan-style? <BG> Here's what I have so far: AR--Washington, Benton, Carroll, Boone MO-Barry, Christian, Stone, Taney, Ozark, Douglas AR--Marion, Baxter, Stone, Izard, Independence, Lawrence, White, Woodruff, Prairie, Monroe, Arkansas, Phillips, & Desha. Is this correct? It's interesting to me to think how proprietary I feel about the White in what I consider her wilder regions, although they are characterized by lakes and dams...perhaps the terrain? Surely everyone whose family lived on the White or one of her many, many tribs feels the same...yet I'm again struck by how different the White must appear downstream, far below the last dam. Thoughts? Corrections? BTW, the "new" WRV site, while based on the White River Valley Historical Society and Taney County, will still have neighborly outreaches, including this regional links section. Taney County, of all the counties I know about in the region, is the only one that doesn't have its' own historical/genealogical society, and yes, it's a shame; but that's why we've refocused the historical society (at least one reason). All the rest of y'all seem to have gotten your home counties covered and watched over...Good For You!

Diane - I don't find names with those spellings either, but did find some early reference to FANCHER in Boone County, AR. There are no list of families in that showing their children, in the book I have - but I thought perhaps the name was similar enough that you may wish to look for Fancher surname in your search.

My great grandaunt Alice B. Manes who was b. 1870-1876 Ar, d. abt 1896-98, (bur as Alice Dunlap, no dates in McCarty Cemetery). A bit og background here is due, Alice B. Manes, I thought, married 1st BLANE; m. 2nd. William R. Dunlap According to family stories Alice Blane ran off with Pub BAGLEY. Who was Pub Bagley? Which Bagley family was his? Also, I don't know now whether Alice B. Manes was married to a Blane or if her name was Alice Blane Manes??? Alice B. Manes had two daughters: Laura who later married a HOLT, does anyone know of that family? Where did she go? Did she have children? Did she and her sister Alice both go to OK? WHO Was LAURA's Father? And a daughter named Alice Dunlap moved to OK I think. Sharon S. Fulton in AZ texsam@cox.net
