PRINTIES EASTER, COLUMBIA, ARKANSAS

angieblv — 30 Jul 2007 8:52:01 GMT

I am looking for any information about the parents and siblings of my Great-Grandfather, Printies Easter. On various records, his first name is shown as: Prenties, Prentiss, and Prentice. On the Social Security Death Index his name is shown as Printies Easter.

He was born in 1890 in the Atlanta Township of Columbia, AR and lived in the Calhoun, Cornie and Brown townships of Columbia, AR. He served in the Army during WWI from 1918-1919. In 1920, he was married to Ophelia (Brown) Easter of Columbia, AR. In 1930, they had four children (Nathaniel, Zettie, Mary, Scipio). After 1930, they moved to St. Louis, MO where he died in 1981.

looking for info for James & Mollie Harrison

itprof347 — 20 May 2008 6:11:26 GMT

I am looking for information on my wife's Great Grandparents. James (b. Jun 1866) and Mollie (or Millie)(b. Apr 1867) Harrison. They had three children that I know of Noah Wylie (b. Jan 20, 1890), William Fletcher (b. Jun 29, 1894), and Ruby Lee (b. Dec 16, 1899; d. July 29, 1969). Ruby Lee was married to James Matthew Reel. I have located them in the 1900 and 1910 census in Jefferson county. According to my wife's father, he believes Mollie Harrison was living with her son Noah in Humphrey in the late 30s. I assume James Harrison died between 1900 and 1910 since she was listed as a widow in the 1910 census. She is listed as Mollie Harrison in the 1900 census and Millie Harrison in the 1910 Census. Birthdates for James & Mollie Harrison are based 1900 Census.

James I (or J) Seward

sewardd_1 — 10 Apr 2008 9:39:16 GMT

My family tree stops dead with my grandfather, James Irving Seward. He was supposedly born in Arkansas in 1900, the youngest of several (perhaps nine) children, joined the Navy, got married and moved to Wyoming, etc. My grandmother said that he had sisters who had married and moved to Denver. I have his social security number and death certificate (which gives his parents' names as "unknown") but just can't turn up any connections for him. Would anyone out there have a lead or an idea about what to try next?

Ernest Clifford Bowman

egened — 6 Apr 2008 10:47:37 GMT

Am looking for an obituary for Ernest Clifford Bowman. In the 1930 census, he and family were in Vaugine Twp., Jefferson Co., AR, in the city of Pine Bluff. In the Arkansas Death Records, there is an Ernest C. Bowman listed in Arkansas County, died 13 May 1938. Since these two counties are next to each other, he may be the Ernest Bowman I am looking for. If anyone has access to these records, I would appreciate a look-up. Survivors may be his wife, Josephine Metty and daughters Lolo and Rosa. Also sons Clifford, Freddie and Louis.

Thank you,
Gene

Where are AR County Cemeteries?

I have a copy of the Arkansas County Cemetery Records book that was put together in the 1980's, but am not always able to locate the cemeteries listed (especially the small, "family plots"). There is a hand-drawn "map" of ARK County with dots for the locations of the cemeteries, but no towns, roads, rivers, etc appear on the "map". I propose a team of cemetery seekers to locate & record via GPS as many of these cemeteries as possible. Or has this already been done?

Having read a piece in the Arkansas Times about the White River 'River Rats' I have a question about the death of Jesse Lawerence Eason. The article seemed to imply that he was killed by a Fishlowe. Could this mean that he was killed by Walter Picheloupe (Fishlowe) who was killed in Stuttgart, AR? I am looking for the date Picheloupe was killed in Stuttgart. Jesse L. Eason died August 8, 1930.

First let me thank Travis for his help. You helped me very much.
I am now searching for the grave of Flora Hightower who was murdered while living in Leslie, Arkansas. I would very much like to locate it to ensure it has been kept up. It is my fear that it may have been forgotten. Also I would like to find the grave of Ralph Henderson. I believe that no matter his troubles his grave should also be attended and kept up.

Odenbaughs and Prices in Gillett

Gerry Parchman — 2 Jan 2004 10:34:38 GMT

My great grandparents Joseph (b 1834 in PA) and Anice (b 1855 in Illinois) Price arrived in the Gillett area (Stanley Twp) in 1888, where they moved to a farm purchase with a warrant while in Illinois. Their daughter Kate Price (b 1885 in MO) married John Bert Odenbaugh (b 1882 in MO) in 1903 in Gillett. John Bert was the son of Benjamin Franklin Odenbaugh (b 1853 in PA) and Mary Alice Cooper Odenbaugh (b 1861 in MO), who had moved to Gillett from Kansas about 1900. The Odenbaughs had many children who married in the Gillett area. The Prices and Odenbaughs married Hardestys and Rockhardts in Gillett.

Joseph died in 1908 and is buried in the Gillett Cemetery along with 2 Hardesty grandchildren. Ben died in 1922 and is also buried in the Gillett Cemetery along with his daughter Katie O Rockhardt. (I saw all these graves when I visited there on December 28th, 2003). Anice moved to Colorado Springs where she died in 1916. I had been told that she was buried in Gillett, but could not find any trace of a grave for her there.

The Odenbaughs lost their farm just before the Depression started (about 1927?) and moved to Woodruff County, where Alice was buried. John Bert and Kate later died in Brinkley. Any information about any marriages or deaths would be appreciated.

Death Certificate Information

lynnehammonds — 8 Feb 2005 2:42:40 GMT

I guess we all have one, a black sheep person in the family, well mine is my great grandfather and finding info on him has been a headache. I just found him listed on the 1900 Point DeLuce, Ark AR, census as a widower (incorrect),but I know it's him because his brother lived in the same town and the brother has been easy to track. Anyway, my question is...I really think he probably died in Point DeLuce in 1917. Where would you suggest that I go to see if I can find a death certificate. Do they go back that far.
Thanks
