Murder Case, 1922 BARNETT, McBURNETT, BANKS, POLLETT, MALONE, PHILLIPS

omasan_1 — 15 Feb 2008 9:06:36 GMT

Hope there is a history buff who can help me. I am looking for stories about a murder that took place in Hickory Ridge in 1922. Killed was Obie and Jim Barnett, on trial were Byron McBurnett, W. L. Banks, L. E. Pollett, W. R. Malone and Emmett Phillips.
The trial was moved to Paragould, and was begun December 7, 1922, several months after the murder. So the murder could have been around July?
Evedentily Jim Barnett was being sought by the dupty sherriff McBurnett, his brother Obie was with him, and the possee fired upon them. It would be interesting to read the stories put in the paper regarding this incident. I appreciate any and all help with this story. Thank you.

Is it possible to look up info on a Cross Co. death record?

seekyetruth — 7 Jan 2008 11:06:31 GMT

I wonder if anyone has access or is it even possible to look up a death record in Cross Co. Funds are tight and I would rather not order this death record as it is not even my direct line. I am actually trying to dispute some flawed info out there that claims my Jasper Barkley to be the father of some children I don't think are his. If I could just get the info off a death record naming the deceased's parents, I surely would appreciate it! Emma Mae Easley d. 26 June 1958, and is buried in a Cross Co. cemetery, so I am hoping she died in Cross Co. Even though the tombstone shows Easley, her last name might be West. Thank you!

Located on Hwy. 149 North – 2 miles from Earle
Bake Sale – Silent Auction – Entertainment – Food – Drinks
New Revised Book of Church History and Names of People Buried There

It is hard to believe it has been almost a year since we had the great dedication/celebration of the Gibson Bayou rebuilt church. The committee had said that no event would be held this year but numerous requests have received asking to have another FUN DAY. The people who attended last year had such a good time and the ones that did not get to come have asked that it be held again so that they can attend.

Another Fun Day will be held on September 22, 2007. There will be a silent auction with items donated by friends of the church. Anyone who would like to donate something can get in touch with Jack Stepp at 870-792-7574. A bake sale will be held again this year. If you would like to help with this event, please contact Ellen Holloway at 870-792-7342.

Joe Wood has put together a new book with information from people that attended last year and answers to letters that he sent out. He has worked hard to try and get all the names and information corrected and updated. If you have information on any family or friends buried in the cemetery, please get this information to Joe at 870-792-8386.

More entertainment has been lined up for this year. Please bring your lawn chairs, your friends, and come spend the day. The Masonic Lodge members will again be doing the cooking in the concession stand. They did a great job last year and we appreciate their willingness to help out again.

Drawings will be held for a 32 inch Flat Screen LCD Television. Tickets will be available for a donation of $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. All funds raised will be used for care and upkeep of the Church and Cemetery. Tickets can be purchased from any committee member or will be available on the day of the event.

We would love to see you and your family on September 22nd. Come and stay all day and enjoy the music and visit with old friends.

Thanks, Debbie Lunsford Yates

Charles M Hicks

laderfam — 5 Mar 2007 3:34:58 GMT

I am looking for any information on my great-grandfather, Charles Marion Hicks. According to the 1900 US census, he was born in Dec 1865, in Illinois. On Dec 30, 1886, he married my great-grandmother, Mary Ann Pruitt (marriage license spells it Prewitt) in Cross county, Arkansas.
They spent most of their marriage (if not all of it) in various counties in Arkansas. They had 8 children that I know of: Lillie (march 1890), Montie (sept 1892), Raymon (Nov 1897), Charles Wesley (1900), Birdie (also spelled Bertie, Jan 1903), Ollie (1906), and Ruth (?). I believe he died sometime between 1905 and 1919.

I was told that he was Cherokee Indian. And that his father fought in the Civil War. Also, he may have had a brother born about 1853.

ANY information about him or his ancestry would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
GL

nnsnyder — 3 Feb 2007 7:27:53 GMT

I am searching for information on Jerre (aka Jere, Jeremiah, J H) Hartwell Snyder who was born in Wittsburg, Smith Township, then St. Francis County, 31 August 1860. His father and mother may have been Peter M. Snyder and Mary E. (Hartwell) who appear on the 1850 census of Smith Township. They may also have been Peter Snider and Rebecca Roberts who appear on the 1860 Census of Bedford Township. The 1880 Census records JH living with Mr. and Mrs. WH Morris in Brushy Lake Township. Mrs. Morris was previously Mrs. L (LR)Smith; she had three children and married WH Morris in 1878 and apparently raised JH and a potential brother TB Snyder.

In 1886 JH married Ellen A. Hatcher, the sister in law of Eugene A. Rolfe, the eventual county judge of St. Francis County. They moved to Jonesboro and lived the remainder of their lives there dying in 1935 and 1952, respectively.

M. A. Riley biography

NancyRiggs28 — 10 Jul 2003 6:46:26 GMT

M. A. Riley, well known among the business circles as proprietor of one of the largest cotton gins and grist-mills in Cross County, was reared on a farm in Shelby County, Tenn., and subsequently farmed for himself in his native county, until 1869, when he removed with his family to this county, and purchased his present farm of 100 acres, then in a wild state. He now has fifty acres under cultivation, with a good house, barn and buildings. M. A. was the son of L. C. and Eliza C. (Wiley) Riley, of North Carolina origin. His parents were married in North Carolina, and came to Tennessee in 1836, where his father purchased 320 acres of land. Mr. Riley, Sr., was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and died in 1846, his wife dying in 1881 at the age of sixty-two years. To these parents were given five children, three of whom are still living: William, John and M. A., all residents of this county. In 1885 M. A. Riley moved to Cherry Valley, where he purchased four acres of land, and erected one of the finest residences to be found in the village, and also erected a large steam cotton-gin and grist-mill, and has a large custom throughout the surrounding territory. Mr. Riley was married in 1868 to Miss Rebecca A. Wiley, a native of Tennessee, and a daughter of Macaney and Nannie (Lovel) Wiley, also of Tennessee. They are the parents of five children, two of whom are deceased: Luella (deceased), Etta, Laura, Robert (deceased) and Walter. Politically Mr. Riley is a Democrat. He and his wife are connected with the Baptist Church.
