Van Buren Press Crawford County, Arkansas January 21, 1879 NOT STANDING ON THEIR ORDER OF GOING For two years past our Cherokee neighbors have complained long and bitterly that their rights and privileges were being ruthlessly assailed by the presence of the depot and railway of the L. R. & F. S. Railway in their territory. They had got so troublesome and persistent in their demands for the company's removal of their property that arrangements had been made, and the work nearly completed to go no further than Van Buren, and make the crossing to Fort Smith here. Still not satisfied, the sheriff f the Nation embraced in the District opposite Fort Smith, gave notice that he would on the 22nd day of January, (tomorrow) sell the depot building and other property of the company, as having been confiscated by the Cherokee Nation. To avoid litigation or any trouble, on Sunday last, Supt. Hartman had a large number of hands employed, and buildings of the company were taken down and transferred across the river to Fort Smith, where they will be re-erected for the accommodation of their business at that point. At this hour, not a visage of the property of the company remains in the Nation, and we imagine that when the Sheriff puts in an appearance in the morning to "knock off" to the highest bidder, the confiscated railroad property, there will be some tall swearing on the Cherokee line. This move makes Van Buren the terminus of the L. R. & F. S. Railroad for two weeks until the iron can be laid on the other side of the river and other work completed. Passengers and mails going East will be brought to Van Buren the night before and take the train the next morning. And on the arrival of the train at night a "buss" will take mails and passengers to Fort Smith. Fran Alverson Warren

Van Buren Press Crawford County, Arkansas January 14, 1879 TO BE SOLD OUT From the following, which we find in the Cherokee Advocate, it will be seen that the property of the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railway, at Cherokee, is to be sold out at auction, it having been confiscated by the Nation: Notice!- Whereas, the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad Company, have been declared intruders in the Cherokee Nation, and whereas, the said Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad Company, intruders in the Cherokee Nation, entered within the limits of the Cherokee Nation; One depot, one cotton platform and one stockyard, whereas said improvements are confiscated under provisions of Sec. 120, Article 25, Chapter 12 of New Code.

I am trying to find an obituary or death notice of any kind for Ruhl Moore, who lived in Sallisaw, OK in 1960. He was born around 1900, so he is probably dead by now. He is not found in the SSDI so I am assuming he died sometime before 1975. Is there any place which has deaths indexed. Any suggestions would be more than welcome. I have been in so many directions without finding this man. Can a death certificate be obtained in Ok without knowing the birth and death dates? Is there perhaps a city directory for Sallisaw?
