Looking for the Marcum Family, who lived near Fains Creek- Ark.
The photo I have, is titled [Marcum home on Fains Creek-Ark, where they raised nine children].

The photo show a house and seventeen people all dressed in their finest, photo probably taken between 1900 and 1910.

Any information on location, or family would be very much appreciated.

go to http:www.mapquest.com/ you can find the creek there.

Hello, Fain's Creek could possibly have been located near what was called Fain's Hollow on old Franklin County maps. I will look through them and see if I can find it again for you.

I am a county coordinator for the Arkansas Gravestones Project, and serve as the coordinator for both Franklin and Crawford Counties in Arkansas.

I have personally photographed the Cass Cemetery, in Franklin County, near where the Fain's Hollow is thought to have been. In the Cass Cemetery, there was a Fain, and several Marcum's. You may view the photos, free of charge, at our website: arkansasgravestones.org

I certainly hope it helps you!
Best,
Debbie
