Barb, Thanks for your effort, but that Alfred isn't mine. There was some type of fatal railroad accident in Wrightsville....he had just moved there with his family, wife Theresa (or Terressa) son Allison (Allisen), Daughter Lizzie, Son Hugh, and another unknown child.....about a year prior to his death. He was a saw mill worker, and was 35 years old.....his family returned to Pennsylvania, where I found his wife remarried about 10 years later. Just trying to find an actual obituary for him.......Arkansas archives said I can get copies of the two small news articles about the accident for $10 so I guess I'll give that a shot....but just can't find an obit or where the guy is buried. Thanks for your help !!!1 Dawn West -----Original Message----- From: Barbara [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 09, 2003 10:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WEST-L] Wrightsville Arkansas Dawn: I poked about on the internet a bit, and found that Wrightsville is in Pulaski County. So, you might try the following sites: Pulaski County webpage: http://www.rootsweb.com/~arpulask/ Arkansas Land Records (by surname): http://searches.rootsweb.com/dgi-bin/arkland/arkland.pi Arkansas Families: http://www.arkansasfamilies.net Click on OBITUARY INDEX, then on W. Your Alfred E. WEST appears, age 78, in Hindsville, AR. But there seems to be no way to view the obit !! I sent a request to the page's webmaster asking where the obit is, and how to view it. When she replies, I'll forward it to you.
