Hi to everyone with Carter County TREAT ancestors and relatives, The registration brochure is now available for the 1999 Treat Gathering to be held in Fort Smith, AR on October 1-3. The conference will held at the Points Inn on Rogers Avenue in Fort Smith. A brief summary of events follows. The full brochure is available upon request. Reservations for the banquet need to be made in advance. Thanks! Gary ___________________________________________________________ 1999 Treat Gathering The Gathering in 1999 will be held in Fort Smith, Arkansas, the gateway to the Real Wild, Wild West. This historic city is located at the junction of the Arkansas and Poteau Rivers, on the border between Arkansas and Oklahoma. Much of its early history revolved around keeping law and order in this key border area into the Indian Territory. As part of our conference we will be touring the Fort Smith National Historic Site which includes the site of the 1817 fort, the old commissary building from the 1840s fort, as well as Judge Isaac Parker's Courthouse and Jail. There are many other museums and sites of interest in the Fort Smith area. Some of you may be interested in using the excellent genealogy collection in the Fort Smith Public Library, located just blocks from Judge Parker's Courthouse. This collection focuses on Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. Our Saturday conference will also feature lectures of interest to TREAT family members and special times just to visit with "long lost" cousins. A database(s) will be available during this time to aid persons tracking their TREAT ancestors and cousins. The Saturday evening banquet will be a buffet featuring deep fried catfish filets and sliced round of beef, with a variety of salads and side dishes. The cost for this banquet is $16.50 per person (children 5 and under are free, 6-12 are $8.25). The after dinner speaker will be Nell Treat Johnson, President of the Treat Family Association. She will be talking to us about Richard Treat, the original Treat immigrant to this country. On Friday before the conference, an informal dinner reception will be held at the Golden Corral restaurant for those arriving in town early. SPECIAL SUNDAY BONUS EVENT For those staying over into Sunday, a daytrip into the beautiful Ozark Mountains is planned. We will drive to the site of Treat, AR, and visit the property once owned by Andrew Jackson Treat, ancestor of many of the Treats now living in the Fort Smith area. The trip will also include a visit to the old Treat Cemetery, as well as the gravesite of A J Treat at the Annie's Chapel Cemetery. QUESTIONS? If you have any questions about the conference you may contact: Gary D Treat, Gathering Coordinator e-mail: [email protected] ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION The Treat Family Association was formed more than a decade ago to bring together TREATs from all across the country and from every TREAT ancestral line.

The association welcomes memberships from all conference attendees. The annual membership dues are currently $5.00 per person.

I am trying to find info about an old confederate home in Ardmore. My gg grandfather was living there at the time of his death. His name was Albert Woodard Moore. Thanks Tracy

Greetings to all, Thanks to your help I connected with the funeral home for my g-grandfather, Silas SULLIVAN. Now I am looking for information on his wife, Minnie Mae (CALDWELL) SULLIVAN. The facts I have are: 1. Minnie, b 1 Sept 1895, d 17 Feb, 1939, is buried next to Silas, d 1937, at Pruitt Cemetery. 2. Neither Harvey-Douglas nor Bettis-Craddick Funeral Homes prepared Minnie for burial. Also contacted the Greater SW Historical Society to see what records they had regarding Pruitt Cemetery and they were unable to add anything new. 3. I sent for her death certificate based on the date on the gravestone, and the people at Vital Stats were unable to find any death record for Minnie Sullivan for the years 1938 and 1939. It is possible that one of Minnie's parents were Choctaw. If that is the case, would the tribe have prepared her for burial? I have not been able to find the SULLIVANs in the 1920 census, so I do not know where Minnie was born, nor where her parents came from. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should proceed from here? Research would be so much easier if these darn relatives would just stay put and make sure the trail doesn't get cold :-). Thanks for any assistance or ideas. Regards, Linda Hart [email protected]

Here they remained until 1879, and then, again, moved back to Texas, this time to Henrietta, Clay Co., TX. A report in the Tipton Times, a newspaper of Tipton, Missouri, stated that three families, totaling eighteen persons, made up the traveling party, these being John S. Martin, Joseph S.

According to family tradition, when the explosion occurred at the Ardmore railway station, she was thrown across a burning cookstove and was bedridden the rest of her life; (4) Nancy, b 1857, and apparently died before 1870; (6) Rhoda Alice "Allie" b 1861, married Robert L.

In 1900 they were living in Ardmore, Indian Territory, where his profession was listed as "Landlord," and he owned several city lots in Ardmore. In 1904, John S. developed stomach trouble and died on November 20, 1906, after having been bedfast for 111 days. The Daily Ardmoreite reported that his funeral services were held at the family residence under the auspices of the Masons, of which order he had been a member since 21 years of age. His body was taken to Henrietta, TX. and buried beside his first wife, Louisa. (This history provided by Mary N. Racz, 1900 Gettysburg Place, Bedford, TX. 76021)
