In our last paper we forgot to say that Uncle Mitch Edwards is dead. He died Sept 20th and was buried at Bethel cemetery near which he had lived for many years. He was among the first settlers of the county. This writer had known him for almost 36 years and has never heard his honor or truthfulness impeached. He died, it is said in the faith and hope of the Christian.
=======================
Gravette Cemetery East -- 1/2 mile north of Gravette on Highway 59 - was called I.O.O.F. until 1953 when changed to Hillcrest.

Know that Mitchell Edwards had one son John Bryan and this son md Sofronia Cash. Would like to make contact with descendants in regards to Long genealogy.....
