Dear Group: My request is strange. Does anyone know how close Madison, Howard County, Arkansas is to the Oklahoma border? If it's right across the border or within 100 miles of the border, what would the local Newspaper of Howard be titled during 1930? I have a census which Wendy provided during a chat that lists one of the children of the family I'm looking for born in Oklahoma however, they're found in Arkansas during 1930 living with paternal grandparents. Their mother was institutionalized in a sanitarium shortly before they were placed with their grandparents between 1920 - 1930 censuses. Actually, I can't find them during 1920. Any help over that would be appreciated. (I think?) I'm still looking for a murder that occurred between the years of 1930 - 1931. The victim or murdered person is Jack Herschel or Herschel Jack HARBISON/HARBERSON/HARVISTON. I have no way of knowing if the name was butchered during print ... it seems to be a popular mistyped or misprinted surname. He was killed by a HENSON, ? ... , Mr. HENSON is Jack's brother-in-law, the husband to Eather Dow HARBERSON, who is the only sister to Herschel o/r Jack. Thank you, Shelia C.
