From the "History of Sequoyah County" 1828-1975 book it says: The Horse and Mule auction, located in the north part of town, was opened in the early 1930's by the late Leon Williams. It grew to be one of the biggest auctions anywhere around. Later the stockyards were added and customers, both to sell and buy, came from miles around. Later the horse and mule auction was sold and moved away, but the stockyards remain, doing a big business. Veterinarian Dr E.H. Leonard with a office nearby, not only serves the stockyards but is a great help to the stockmen in the surrounding territory. Hope this helps you a bit.

I'm not sure that my little bit of information will be of any intgerest to you , but in the late 1920's and early thirties this Ft Smith Stock yards activity was by far the most interesting happenings in this little commuity of Moffett. It was locat ed On the MOffett Okla side of the Arkansas river , accross From Ft Smith. The new "free bridge' was clossed to all kinds of trafick on the day before sale day, I think that sale days were wednesday. All the Horses and Mules that had been shipped into Ft Smith were gathered and driven by cowboys on horses across the river Bridge and into the large holding pins where they were tagged and readied for sale on the following day. There might be hundreds of the Horses and Mules. The auction arena was a bleachers tyype of structure with a sale ring where the animals were exhibited showing off their special training or abilities. The musical auctioneers were very talented and tried to out do each other. You had to be skilled to understand the language. My job as a young kid was to drivse the sold animals down the trailway to their newly assigned pens . I also done some feeding etc and a lot of shoveling. The place was operated by Leon and John B. Williams. They were the real horse and mule experts. They could tell you the animals age by looking at its teeth. I'm sure that they never misled anyone???? There was about 3 service stations , a 3.2 % beer joint and a beer garden at the old City Service Station which was owned by my uncle George Hail. I think that I worked at each of these places. The livestock yards provided almost steady work for a few people. I loved it and left there about 1935 when it was just about closed down. There was a railroad siding there that come from Greenwood Junction past the stock yardsand on over to Ft Smith across the railroad bridge. Gosh what a bunch of pleasant memories to recall, which I hadn't thought of in years. Than ks for the interest you have in this . Tom Humphrey

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. click here to reply http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CZB.2ACE/855.1 I am very interested in the Bradshaw cemetery cause most people buried there are related to my husband. I am planning on cleaning it up and erecting a marker that will list all who are buried there if the owner will approve this action. My husband's greatgrandfather was buried there in Jan 1951. I would appreciate any information you may have on others who are buried there. I know some of the names but not all and I would like to make sure I have all the names if possible. [email protected]

Hello everyone, The spelling of the surname Bledsol (Bledsaw - Bledsell) is a large mystery for me as of right now. This is what I know and what I have on the family I am researching. Floyd Bledsaw, his wife Lucinda and 2 daughters Fannie "Mary" Lou and Annie Dellia came to Hanson Indian Territory in abt. 1890. Fannie was 12 years old and Annie was 2 years old when the family returned home. Fannie stayed in or around Hanson. And married Barney Kaiser in 1895 in Hanson Indian Territory. I Believe that Fannie Bledsell stayed with relatives until she married Barney Kaiser. I know that both of them lived in the area of Hanson for a little while but I do not know with who or where. Most of this information comes from a newspaper article that a relative has about the reunion of the 2 sisters, Fannie and Annie. They had been separated most of their lives from the time Annie left Oklahoma. The article states that Fannie spelled her last name Bledsell and Annie spelled hers Bledsaw. Both girls were born in Arkansas. And their Father was born in Virginia. If anyone could help me with the Bledsaw or Kaiser family it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Lisa Phillips LaBeef _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
