EDITORIAL

Recently one of,our beloved members passed on to her -reward. This individual had

devoted most of a lon£ lifetime to helping others with their roots, and in the process had

accumulated a vast collection of family history material. Unfortunately, this member made

no provisions for the disposal of this ,material after her death. Through a number of

eirvum'stances, this invaluable material was destroyed. When questioned about it, her

family express'ed much surprise that anyone would be interested in grandmother's old papers.

They reasoned that since she had made no proviSions during her lIfetime, the material must

have 1it-le,value.

This is but one of many stmilar incidents. If you have valuable, to you, famliy

history data, plesse express in a WILL or to mem~ers of your family, your wishes about its

permanent preservation. The ideal solution would be placing it in your state archives or

with your state historical society. Your local,college or university library might also

Wish to take this material. Local public libraX:ies are very interested in material

realting to local families. Your state archives might like to microfilm this materi.l~

thus further insuring its preservation., As an added advantage, most material given to a

,publiC institution as a gi~t can be taken off your state and federal income t~xe8. !!!!!! 'make provisions for your ~terial before it is too late.

. !lEAR IIl!IIBERS AND IIEIJlERS OF OUlt ARJ(ANSAS FAMILY HISTOI\UII:

It is har~ to believe this is our third i •• ue for 19801 Time sure just fliea by when ve are 80 busy w,ith our Family records. Again this leaves many .QUERIES in our waiting .tack •• ~bowever reMember they are published without charge, juat need to wait for SPACE I Of course we all agree, the Cemetery and Bible Recorda (which are so hard to get in the firs,t place, but when they are given to, us, without . any trouble ••• except to open the mail) and are of such great value (not:jU8t for the present, but for. many, years). We do really appreciate these, and our many thanks. to all of those who ahare .in all the trips to tbe cemeteries (very few cemeteries are inventoried in only one 'trip). I would like for every one to use the "buddy.~systemll and inventory just one cemeteryl The of course type it and share it with anothEr researcher. But wait that is not all ••• you might alao read census for a few hours (copy 'some of it, of course) ••• and while you are there ••• try ·reading a few months of old newspaper (on microfilm). I could list several other t,ime consuming chorea if you are not completely out of energy by that time!

TIME TO RENEWI Now is not to early to send your 'renewal fee' of $9. to Ms. Hubbard, Membership

Chairman. Rt. ,6 Box 238. Hot Springs. AR 71901. Postal, fees are ,due to t'ise again, but 1f your membership iii already paid, you will be lucky. We have really had a better year in 1980 with so many renewals coming in before the deadl·ine. As everyone knows ·by this time. your Editor is only one person, . and lives in the' same house (our headquarters) and much much matI arX'lvea every day. even with the weather 80 very hot. and aoon it wlll be very cold (no matter ••• themaii still comesl) There·!s just DO way. to guess how many members be might ~ve aa a TOTAL for the entire year. ijowever if your renewal fee is already paid, before the press begins, you mow "you will receive your Quarterly. With the price of paper. ink, masters, and other supplies constant),y on t,he increase, we need to watch every corner in the budget. In J.979 we .ended the ye~r in October·, 88 the March and June issues were already· out of print (and had been reprinted several times). This year is only, half over and already we are out of our June is.ue, and if we are to be on time with the September issue ••• there is no time to reprint.

EDITOR'S NOTES Can't page Z)

A new list of those who will research for others for a reasonable fee, in their area is being compiled. If you have a little extra time and would li~e to help others who are needing a small amount of research in varlou8 areas (perhaps your area) let us know, so your name might be added to this very badly needed list. Let us know the county, state, census, deeds, wills, probate, cemetery records, etc. (See January 1980 issue for more information). You make YQur own arrangements (we only list your name, etc.) and send the list when we receive a request for this list.

FROM Patricia Funk: liThe June issue of AFH contained a Query from John C. Head, who lives at Shreveport, LA. He was seeking information on his family in ARKANSAS. I was able to

find some of what he wanted. In the AFH, he also stated that he and his wife would check records at the Library in Shreveport for anyone wishing them to do so. Well, I 'took him up on it' and asked him to check the index to Passenger Lists. And guess what he found? Since he didn't find my people on the lists, he ~tarted checking census records and he had supplied me with a most tmportant missing link in the family chain. He found the people 1 was searching for in 1860. I had thought they were in Louisiana, but had no idea where.

I just want everyone to know how much the AFH .wans to me, for without this valuable little book, I would never have been able to find these people or John Head, either.

Though, I have already thanked John for his research, 1 want to thank AFH and the staff for making this p08siblel lt .

During the 1979 Display, 'we had many books from all parts of Arkansas, many other Genealogical and Historical' Societies displayed some of their brochures, arid pictures from South Arkansas were loaned to us by Dr. Walz of Magnolia. We hope to borrow pictures from Dr. Walz again.

If you can not help in our booth, come by, and see uS and sign up for our drawing, you just may be lucky! If you can not c~e by, tell. your friends to look for us, they jus~ might be lUCkyl DAns: September 26 thru October 5, 1980

-153-FAMILY PUBLICATIONS LIST

FROM: JACK K. GRAY. Route 2. Box 43A. Cabot. Arkansas 72023 - "After spending many hundreds of hours and dollars trying to trace my GRAY LINE, I have hit the jack-pot. It 18 a

Quarterly publication. "THE LONG GRAY LINE" with subscribers all over the USA. It took only reading time to just about solve all my problems. I have also located many new cousins.

This 1s my reason for writing. If we could find all the family publications and let our members know of them, much time and money can be saved. So I am starting this project with s· list of family' publications I have found, since I 'started tracing my "roots". There muat be hundreds of others out there snd I am interested in many of them. Most of the publica­tions on my list are not applicable to me, I' just happened to find them."

BOOK REVIEWS - GIFT BOOKS GIVEN TO OUR AIlKANSAS (;ENMLOGI CAl, SOCIETY'S 1.1 SRARY Review8 by Rober t W. Dhonau

"CEMETERIES OF NORTH PANOLA COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI" - 1980, 1s a gift by one of our members, M. C. Terry of Little Rock. It is a publication by the Panola Historical and Genealogical Society. Mr. Terry had an active part in gathering the information about his home terri­tory.

This is a well done record of graves in 16 public cemeteries and some twenty-odd private cemeteries. This is the second such publication of this group, the first in 1977 was of the Batesville, Mississippi Cemetery. That place 1s the county seat of North Panola County. Last names are capitalized for easy location & reading.

The index is alphabetical and a scale map of the county follows with the location of each cemetery marked by a star and code letter. We appreciate tne donation of this valu­able record for our library. 'The book may be obtained for $6.50 per copy from Mrs. Mary Jane Wilson, Box 365, Sardis, Mississippi 38666.

*********** "MEMORIES, RECOLLECTIONS and REFLECTIONS" by William Thomas Buffaloe, Monette, Arkansas -1958, is another donation we have received.

This is a reprint in 1979 of the story about the family of a Craighead County histor­ian. He was born 26 June 1884 in that County. The family of his grandfather, William Addison Buffaloe, came from Alabame and the fam~ly of his grandmother, Tabitha Magers lived in Lincoln C., TN. They came to Arkansas about 1859.

This narrative tells the many events in the lives of the family and touches on many events of historical significance. It ,is told in a "folksy" manner. We appreCiate the donation of this book to our AGS Library.

*********** "THE FAMILY SEARCH of CLARENCE RICE OWENS" - 1975. Collected by Clarence R. Owens, com­piled by Katharine Bruce Jones and published by California Genealogical Society, San Francisco, CA.

Twenty-five years of family research was left by Mr. Owens when he and his wife died in 1967 as reseult of injuries sustained in an auto accident. Their WILLS stipulated money for publishing this research.

Richard Owen, the immigrant to Maryland was born in Great Britain and married to Rachel-----in 1682. He died in Maryland before 4 November 1716, when his wife gave bond as administratrix of his estate. His wife and children used the name of OWINGS. His des-cendants are traced on to North Carolina and Indiana, Missouri, Colorado, Kansas, and several other states. This family history is well organized and documented. names most often mentioned are: Adams, Alexander, Berry, Chambers,' Chapin, Choat, Crawford, DaVison, Farnam, Johnson, Patterson, Rice, and Wiltse. We are grateful donation.

Nebrasks, Fomlly Corson, for this

III REMEMBER ••• II by Jennie Koons Steele, with letters to and from Richard St. Clair Steele, 1888 to 1907, and edited by Marion Devault Steele, 1977.

Jennie grew up on a farm in Northwestern Missouri in the 1870's. She went to high school in northwest Arkansas in the 1880' sand st-udied music in Boston 1891-92 then taught school in Arkansas and Missouri.

From 1898 to 1906 after she married she lived at three Indian Agencies in Northern Oklahoma then from 1907 to 1918 lived there on a wheat farm and raised a family.

This information was obtained from letters written from 1947 to 1955 found in an old trunk. This story was then compiled from 1969 to 1977. It is a very human story and written with love and respect, It is generously documented with pictures of documents, maps a'nd those of members of the family. It is s very welcome addition to our library and describes life in varied locales.

**********. "NORTH AMERICAN IMMIGRATION TO BRAZIL" - Tombstone Records of the "Campo" Cemetery - Santa

,Barbara D'Oesto, Sao Paulo State, Brazil - 1978, by Betty Antunes DeOliveira and donated by the compiler.

This calls to mind the North American families who went to Brazil after the Civil War. It was against Brazilian law for non-Roman Catholic's to be pla'cad in the common official cemeteries. These people faced an uncertain future in a sister country. They were un­afraid and planted the seed of good relationship 1'n education, culture, faith and agricul­ture.

The alphabetical index is in the front. The inscriptions on the tombstones follow in the order of the graves in the cemtery. There are pictures of many of the tombstones and a map showing where the 'graves were located. We appreciate this valuable information. This book may'be purchased for $12.50 from Leonard J. McCown. 217 W. 14th, Irving, TX 75060.

*.******* •• "MARTIN TREET FAMILY" by Ted M. Miller, 53 Pepper Ferry Road, Radford, Virginia 24141

This is a family history about the descendants of Martin Treet, born 1845 in Alabama and his parents had come from North Carolina. About 1879 he moved his family to Boone Co., Arkansas, and his brother, Jim, moved his family south of Little Rock, Arkansas. (Can't on next page)

TO HOPE, TO LABOR, AND SO TO LIVE-Descendants of John mACK(1740-l8l4) With Some Allied Families by mary P. Engals, 1024 Hicky, forrest City, Arkansas 72335

An historicsl marksr near mcCains, Tsnnesses, and ths old mack greve­yard nearby states thst John mACK was the first of his name in Tenneseee. John mACK's weathered gravestone shows he wa's born in Scotland in 1740 and died in his 74th yeer in 1814. The stone of hie "only wit'e", Ssrah,alongside shows she was born in Penneylvania snd died in her 83rd yaar.

The marriegs bond of John mACK and Sarah BURNETT ststes they were married in Prince Edward County, Virginia, 2 Septembar 1766 during the reign of King George III of Englend. This ie tha firet legel rscord found for John snd Sarah mACK.

No proof hss besn found of a connection between this mACK family and anY,other early mACKs. Thie ie not the mACK line of Joeeph Smith, the mormon leader.

John mACK lived in Pittsylvanis County, VA., during the Americen Rev­olution and ssrved in the Virginie militia. 8y 1790 hs wss living in Rocking­hem County, North Carolins. Then he appears to have moved back to Virginia by 1792, and from there he came to middle Tenneseee between 1805-1810.

Children of John mACK named in his will drawn up 31 may 1813 in maury County, Tennessas, were: James(1767)" John, Jr. (1769), mary· Polly· mURPHY (ca.1770), Robert(1772), William(1775), James Harvey(ca.1778), Constantine (ca. 1780), Sarah "Sslly" NANCE(ca.1782).

Jamae mACK marriad Sarah WILSON in'1789 in North Carolina. The WILSON line beginning with Rev. Thomae WILSON, Presbyterian minister from Irelend to Somerset County, marylend, in 1685, is tracsd through five genarations to Ssrah, born 1767 in maryland.

Aquilla Wilson mACK , son of Jamas, marrisd Sarane HUDSON ca, 1822. The mcKNITT, BREVARD, REESE, POLK lina of Sarana HUDSON is traced back aav­aral gsnarations to tha immigra~t ancestors in Pannsylvania and msryland.

8iographical sketchas of all tha children of John and Sarah BURNETT mACK ars givan, along with 65 fsmily charts of the dascendants.

Shortly aftsr 1850 there was an axodu8 of mACK8 from TannaS8ee. Some came to Greene and Indapendence Counties, Arkansas, while other8 moved to Graene County, mi8souri. Aftar 1865 saveral families movsd to northeastern Texes. The mACK fsmily was dividsd during the Civil War. Some fought snd died in the Union Army and 80me in the Confedarate Army. Some were adament radi­cals while others wers strong southern 8ympathizers.

Some families intsrmarried with the MACK family werSI TAYLOR, CYPERT, 8URNS,GIL8REATH,ROSS, JONES, ENGELS, MOORE, MASSEY, LINDSEY, BATEMAN, PARKS, 8LAIR, CROSTHWAIT, CAMPBELL, MATTHEWS, MURPHY, mORROW, BROWN, GARNER, RIEVES, COOPER, HUDSPETH, WALL, BURNETT, NANCE.

Ths book has a number of wills and deads, a migration map and some pictures. It is herdbound, haa lB5 pp.(8!xll), and an indax of 1,581 names. The book mey ba ordered from the euthor above for 121, which includes poetage. Persons writing to inquire ebout the book, please enclose a stemped, self-ed­dressed enilelops, if a reply is expacted from the author. '

-1116- . JOHN INGRAM "'AMl. LY

JOHN INGRAM. The earliest evidence of the history of this illustrious family i8 obtained from family annals, kept from generation to generation

and handed down from father to son. About.the year 1680 Sir Nedom Ingram appea'rs as a prominent citizen of Worcester shire , England. He was. pre Scotet blood, and belonged to that sturdy old and honored historical religious sect called: "The Waldenses" An active advocate of the Protestant reformation, he. was among ·those.who. (at theat time) courageously encouraged both in word and'deed, the dissemination of that light which was first manifested under: "Crammer's" r.reaching, he who has been aptly styled "The Morning Star of the Reformation. "

Sir Nedom INGRAM, it seems was married twice, and had four sons, two by his first wife, Emanuel and Joseph Ingram, and by his. second wife, Nedom and Thomas Ingram. At a later day, about the beginning of the seventeenth cenc tury Joseph and Thomas emigrated to the colony of North Carolina, in North America, settling first near Raleigh. Joseph Ingram is reported as marrying a Miss Rains and had several children, among whom were two boys named Nedom and Shadrach Ingram. In time both marrietl and Shadrach Ingram had four children: Nedom, Joseph and Shadrach, and one. girl, Elizabeth Ingram, Shad­rach Ingram, who was the grandfather of John Ingram, the subject of this sketch, was born in Edgecombe Co., N.C. about the year 1767, and married Miss Elizabeth DeLoche, who was also born.in the;same county in the year 1765.

Her ancestors emigrated from France about the year 1590, to escape Catholic persecution, and settled in the colony of Virginia. After Shadrach Ingram's marriage, he settled down to farming with slave labor in that county, his good old father having left him, and all his other children a moderate com­petency. Soon after the beginning of the present century, he moved to the Territory of Tennessee, and located near Lebanon, in ,Wilson County, where he continued farming on an extensive scale for that day and time. He served faithfully through the War of 1812 against Great Gritain. Some time between 1830 and 1834, .he (Shadrach Ingram), like many other good hearted, but un­fortunate men, became the security of a friend, and the result was financial ruin. All his little fortune was swept away, leaving him and his family al­most homeless and penniless. Soon after, leaving Wilson Co., TN., he moved to Washington Co., All,;, . in 1836 or 1837, where he again opened a farm and dici the best he could. though in the lattel' years of his life he and his good wife were cared for by their youngest son, Shadrach Ingram, Jr.,. until their death, which occurred between the years 1855 and 1859. A tl'ue and noble man, sincel'e and honest, none evel' lived who lived his wife and children mOl'e de­votedly and affectionately, Although his ancestol'S wel'e Scotch and he was a native Amel'ican, his love fol' the old land, as well as an al'dent and devot­ed advocacy of educational and l'eligious tl'aining, were among the most Pl'om­inent tl'aits of his charscter. He had eight ,children, four boys' and four girls. All of them. are now deceased, except three: Shadrach; Dilly (Sher.ry) and Will Ingram (the father of John Ingram), William Ingram was born.near Lebanon, Tenn., March IS, 1815, and remained with his father until seventeen years of age, when, he went to the State of Illinois, near Carrollton, 'where in his eighteenth year, ,he became a member of. the Church (Old School Baptist)

There he also met and married Miss Elizabeth A. Pearson, of Puritan stock, 6 March. 1833. She was born 17 April 1817, in Gibson Co" Ind. Early in September following .their. union. they started for the Territoy of Arkansas, arriving at Fsyetteville in October sndsettling nesr that (then) small village, where Mr. Ingrsmcommenced farming snd preaching. Arkansas was ther a wild and dreary wilderness, and when he went out to preach he could do no better than some of his earliest predecessors, go out withQut scrip or purse, because wild meat and ,hone were plenty, and both proved an acceptable diet in those days .. On the night of 10 November 1833 Mr. Ingram and wife went out on the mountain (four miles from town) to.sit up with old ,Uncle Johnnie Miller, who was quite ill, some eight or ten persons also being present. Ouring their night watch and about 2 o'clock A.M. on the morning ot the 11th, the whole heaven~'were singularly a light by an immense blaze, which, upon discovery, was found to proceed from a great meteric shower; this occassion of "the falling stars" has ever been a matter of historicai comment.

In their extreme anxiety many kneeled and prayed to God to preserve them from a burning world,. though others, and the more curious watl:hed the pro­ceeding until its close. Rev. Mr. Ingram and his wife are bOth living and well, still residing near FayetteVille, at the age of seventy-four .. He is as .regular in his devotIons to the ministry and the service of hi's divine Maste.r., as he was in stll.rting;out. Uf~y-five ,~fifty-8ix.years ago,. and in­deed more so, the trust whicnne,'O'lll!'e .i\ad·'having . been found by experience to be, the only sure dependence the beauty of whichincreases,withyears.

Sandy O. Ingram (also a farmer in Washington County, and Albert J. Ingram (the youngest). The parents reside on the family homestead, and Albert J. is a successful farmer, well-eo-do, and it is under his roof that the old people (his parents) and his youngest sister find a home of cheerful welcome, loving care, and all the needed comforts in their declining years. His father, now seventy-four years old, whose ministry runs back to his eigh- . teenth or nineteenth year, is one whose life had been well spent, like SaIIlUel of old, a .eNant of thl!.most high God ...

John Ingram, son of Rev. William Ingram, was born near Fayetteville, Ark., 3 May 1836. He remained with his father on the farm and attended the schools of the county. until about fifteen years old, after which hawas employed in the circuit clerks office, under Presley R. Smith, who was a native of Fayetteville, TN. Remaining there and also attending school at the Arkansas College (then : under the superintendence of Rev. Robert Graham, President) for some time. he subsequently taught a country schaal about one year, and at the end of that period was tendered and accepted a clerkship in a large and extensive wholesale and retain dry goods and grocery hause of Wallace Ward & Co. At the time of this offer to him, the firm ~e was Ward & Southmayd, Van Buren, Ark. The year 1861 still found him at this place but he soon left it to enter service of his native state (Arkansas), in the great contest for con­stitut.ional liberty. In eight or ten months the troops were transfered to the Confederate cause, which cause he served faithfully until the last of May 1865, when he was paroled with others by Gen. Canby. He arrived here in June 1865, and has made his place of residence ever since. Soon after his arrival Mr. Ingram married to Mrs. E. A. Broughton (formerly Miss Calhoun), who had one child, Mollie Broughton, the later married Col. A. S. Fowler, a prominent citizen and highly cultured gentleman of this city, who is doing a most extensive and profitable life insurance business.Mr/ Ingram has 3 children: Sue Ayliff; Charles Calhoun; and Carrie Eugenia Ingram. .

about 1890.

DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN - Rev. WID. Ingram - 1898

The Rev. WID. Ingram, one of Washington county's oldest and best citizens, died at his home near Greenland on Sunday night, 30 Oct. 1898, and was laid to rest in the family burying ground, near Moses Tharp's on the 31st of Oct .• Rev. J., R. Loving of the Regular Church officiating.

Uncle "Billy" Ingram, as he was familiarly called by his many friends, deserves a, page in the history of Washington county, in which he had lived for sixty five years as an honest, law-abiding, industrious citizen, and which he found a wild forest, only recently the hunting ground of the Indian and which, by energy and 'industry, was soon converted into fruitdul fields.

Mr. Ingram was a descendant of an English family who came to America in early cononial days. His ancestors were true patriots and'brave soldiers during the RevolUtionary War. He was born in Wilson Co., Tenn., 16 April 1815, and in eafly boyhaod went to the new state of Illinois. where, at the age of 18 year~, be was married to Miss Elizabeth Ann Pearson, who was just 17 years of age. They were married in Fulton Co., Illinois, on the 6th of March 1833, by WID, D. Putman, a justice of the peace. On the 10th of the following September this newly married couple sterted.on the long journey for .the newly settled country of Washington county, Ark., and reached the litt~e village of Fayetteville on the 19th of October, 1833. and built their first· home five miles south of town where, in Feb. 1835 .their first child was botn,-- daughter, (Marcy Ann)--nowMrs. Davis, living at West Fork. Here wa. also born their first son, John Ingram, now a prominent businessman in Little Rock. Other children were born to tham who are now dead, but Sandy Ingram, their. fifth child, is one of Wa8hington county's most respect-ed citizens, whose home is near Woolsey, this county. .

Jones Ingram of Yell county is a son of the deceasad. His BOn Andrew lives at the old homestead, and he took good care of his

venerab-le father during his declining years, and during his last illness he re.ceived the kindest attention of his chilsren.

-198-DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN - Wm. Ingram (Con't page 2)

He made a profession of religion at the age of 18, attached himself to the Reg\llar Baptist Church and was an earnest, zealous worker in that church until the year 1839, when feeling called to more active duties in the church he began his public ministry, exhorting his fellow men to live for God, honor and glory,

,He wa~ one of the original members of the first Baptist church organi­zed in Washington county and at the same time of his death was the oldest member of that church in this part of the state, except ,Mrs. Sarah Chapman who lives near the home of the deceased. In 1848, at the association held on Lee's Creek in Crawford county, he was regularly ordained as a licensed minister of the gospel and was a co-laborer in the church with those old worthies-"Revs. John H01comb, Thos. W. Brinson, Thomas Dodson, and James

. Mayfield, all of whom preceded him to that land of rest, where the old "pioneer preacher" has found ,them awaitinJ:\ his coming to join in their Heavenly songs of praise.

Only a few months ago I was present at the funeral of his old friend and neighbor, 'Stephen Pearson, and heard him talk at the grave--assuring those present that he WaS ready for the Master's call and that death had no terrors for him.

On the first Sunday in October he waS attending the Baptist association held at Wheeler, this county, and returned to his home on the 4th of October was taken down sick on the 10th and died On the 30th. During his illness, which lasted 20 days, he often told his family and driends that he never had enjoyed one of ,their associations as much as the one just closed, saying that there was so much good preaching, and good fellowship exhibited among Chrls,tians of all denominations that it seemed like heaven begun on earth. His life has been an open book. No one doubted his honesty and integrity. As a neighbor he was kind and obliging, as a friend true and faithful, as a citizen active in the discharge of every duty and I daresay that no man ever had just cause of complaint against him during the 65 years that he had lived in Washington county.

In politics he was as ,honest in his belief as he was in his religious views and never was afraid to speak his honest sentiments. He was proud to be known as a Jackson Democrat.

There are but very few men yet living in our county who were here when Uncle Billy Ingram, with his young bride of 17 summers, moved into their log cabin in the wilderness in 1833. They lived happily together for 61 years. His wife died about four years ago and his wornout body was laid beside her, there to sleep until the resurrection morn. This'noble, generous-hearted old pioneer will great his friends no more in his hospitable home on earth but, his many friends will cherish his memory, and his good deeds will live after. him. .' '

DR. GEORGE EMMET CANNON of Hope, Arkansas - 1950

FROM: Thelma Wood Jones, Rt. 3 Box 192, Stephenville, TX 76401 - Enclosed is my Query, and an article on Dr. George Emnet Cannon. I thought everyone

would enjoy reading, especially Hempstead Co., Arkansas. In June of 1950, my sister now deceased, sent this and a birthday card to my grandmother, Rebecca (Webb) Bailey on her 84th birthday (b. 18 June 1866). Perhaps it will make my Query more understandable, as the Sam Robbins in this article is husband to Sally Turner, a sister to my great grandmother Al~ha Augusta (Turner) Bailey. Mary Ann, the Doctor's mother, is Sam & Sally s daughter.

ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT MAGAZINE SUNDAY MAY 21, 1950 - page 3

"LASTING MONUMENT-TO A PUBLIC SPIRITED CITIZEN" Dr. George Emmett Cannon of Hope Leaves His' Imprint

On the Path of Progress Wl)ereever He Goes by

Gertrude S. Carter Down in Southwest Arkansas an elderly physician and surgeon, known and

loved by thousands throughout the region, still is strong and active at eighty. He is busily, engaged in practicing medicine while applying his philosophy of life, 'The measure of a man's life is the well spending of it, and not the length," as set forth by Plutarch.

The doctor, George Emnet Cannon, is busy from morning until night in his office, seeing patients or operating in the hospital he founded and has owned for 30 years. .

'~ith the help of the Great PhYSician, I hope to be able and active, and helping the sick and afflicted for many more years," he prays.

Dr. Cannon's practice extends through the days of horseback Visits, log trains, and buggies, from the. turn of the century down to the pr.aent daya of rapid cOlllllUnications and. transportation. He haa run the whole way from country doctor, saw-mill surgeon, and small town practitioner to his present place as an outstanding diagnostician and surgeon.

When Dr. Cannon moved to Hope to begin his practice of medicine in 1910 he brought with him sn automobile, one of the first half dozen in the coun­try.

"I have pushed automobiles more miles in this section of Arkansas, than many people.have driven them," he said.' "There were no roads that could be called roads, just a right of way and a.wagontrack. In.wet weather the mud was deep, in dry ",eather many roads were impassable as sand waa deep. When we finally got cars as good as model T's, I used. to keep tWO or three, 80 that I could keep one running. My patients were scattered allover Hemp-stead county." .

Dr. Cannon was born April 3,1870, four miles north of Ozan, .ilempstead County. ilia parents were The Rev. Ben. F. Cannon, early day Baptist preach­er and Mar:y.Ann (Robbins) Cannon. His father came from Tennessee in the early 1840. His mother, a native of Hempstead County and daughter of Sam Robbins, died when he was six years old, leaving six children. His father remarried, having eight mor~ children. Unable to 'educate this great number hh father tried .to aissuade Dr. Cannon from going to college. With that assreSliveness which remains a characterist.icof hh today, he made crops, caught school, and cleered land to pay his ~way.

. No person ever questioned that·he has been and will always be,s man of hiB word. One year' he came home from college with $11. He applied for a .chool teachiRJ; pos1t:Lon for the three months, telling the school board, "I will teach for $35. a.month.

The board explicitly stated, '~e will give you $100. for teaching the three months."

"Well," he said, "I just won't teach. I will do something else." He' got a job for $12.50 a month, with board and room in.addition.

He met. Miss Joaephine Lile, who lived near Waldo., Columbia County, whila both ware attending Ouachita College. They were married in 1897, after she received her BSdegree from Central College, Conway. The. have four children, one· son and three. daughters, 13 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

A real companion, indeed, is Mrs. Cannon. She went· to school with him in his last year. of I118dical school. Only once has ahe failed to go with him when for post-graduate work or for regional meetings' of .the American Madical Association. They are looking forward to driving. to San Francisco in June to the AHA. . The doctor graduated from Ouachita College in 189.5 with a BS degree. ile received his MD degree from University of Louisville, KY., Medical

-2[12-DOCTOR CAN~ON (Con't page 2)

Medical School in 18'98. He has done post-graduat.e 25 times 1n Philadelphia. Chicago, Mayo' 5 Clinic in Rochester, Boston and New Orleans. He was, one of the first Arkansans to be made a Fellow of the American ~ollege of Surgeons. This convocation was in Boston in 1922. In 1948 he received a Certificate of Appreciation. recognizing his more than 50 years service. He was given the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws by Ouachita College in 1949.

Dr. Cannon 'said. "The greatest teaching I ,have ever had. probably was at the hands ot such men as Dr. John B. Deaver. Dr. Joseph Price. and Dr. Ernest LaPlace; all of Philadelphia. Dr .. LaPlace was a close friend of Louis Pasteur. He administered the first Pasteur treatment for rabies ever given to a human. ' '

Pasteur was a biological chemist and not a doctor of medicine; hence. could not administer the treatment himself."

After graduation from medical colleie Dr. Cannon spent nine years as lumber company surgeon. for a small mill in Union County. and for mills at Jonesboro and Rochelle. La. Later he practiced three years in Magnolia be­fore moving to Hope.

Dr. Cannon has the utmost contempt for anything superficially done. To him. ,anything worth doing is worth doing well. He has gained quite a re­putation as a builder. He always considers human safety and convenience. as well as durability. When he lived in Jonesboro, La .• 1903. he orJ~anized a bank. and built, the first brick building in the parish. The bank s state­ment showed a deposit of nearly three million dollars in 1949.

In 1909 he was chairman of the building committee for the Central Baptist in Magnolia. True to form this is a substantial building. ·However. since the congregation has outgrown it, a new building is now in process of construction.

Included in the eight brick-buildings which he has built in Hope is the Josephine Hospital. Mrs. Cannon's namesake. This hospital, founded in May 1915 was one of the first private hospitals in the state to be acredited,. It was sold to Drs. Jim Mckenzie in July 1946.

In 1948. Dr. and Mrs. Cannon built and gave to Ouachita College. a modern infirmary and hospital building.

The ground-breaking ceremony was held Nov. 1947. ,for the Hempstead County Library. which the Cannons built and gave to the city of Hope. It 1s a steel. concrete. and brick structure, modern, fireproof and large enough for the city for years to come. It is ,situated on a beautiful quarter block of ground at Fifth and Elm Streets.

N. P. Neal donated the brick. The contractor B'. W. Edwards, and the architect, D. F. Weaver contrib­

uted their services. The Cannons are counted among the valued members of the First Bapti~t

Church of Hope., They have served ,in various capacities. Dr. Cannon has taught, the Service Class, a group of about 50 men, for 25 years.

It was his class which prompted him to write his book, "Nights With Christ." His dedica.tion of it to his constant companion, his wife, shows his love, and consideration of her. In all the many things they do there is perfect companionship, even though they are'direct·opposites, yet equally keen in mind. She is the ,dainty, vivacious type, with scintillating black eyes: Heis.six feet tall, blond, and weighs over 200 pounds. He is

,usually 'rushed, but he always gives the patient at hand his undivided atten­, tion,and does everything in his power to dispel fear and'pain. The tender-ness and love with which this big,· strongman handles his patients touches

,the heartstrings. , W:l.th all his duties he finds time to fish and hunt. He will spend palf

a day at a time, fly fishing or casting,' or sitting patiently in a duck' blind. "

As the writer sat, talking with dne doctor in his spacious home, the mementoes of. years of happy living seemed, to"beckon, "Come and enjoy me." 'He reminisced on all of the old families, and. the progress of the town. 'He revealed that 'he had c;hosen ,medicine for his profession, because in it . he could bes't serve mankind."

As·he remarked, "The proof of 'the truth of the Bible lies in the lives of those who abide by it. n, . ' '

The thought ",ent hQllle ; The fulness of thb doctor' 8 christian life will hover over Hempstead County, like a hand ;aised in benediction, as long as time shall last. . EDITOR'S NOTE :.Our many thank,., tb Mr,. Jones for sharing this., article with

GLOVER CEMETERY, Lonoke County, Arkansas

From: Eileen Lasiter Pass, Rt. 2, Box 76, Cabot, Arkansas 72023. "This Cemetery dates from 1855 and is still in use. My family is descended

from #70, John Glover. He came from Northampton County, North Carolina with his children to Madison Co., Tenn., in 1846. Then the family moved to Prairie Co. (later Lonoke Co.) Arkansas in 1852. He was the father of 20 children and had four wives, not all at the same time. I am making a book­let of Family Group Sheets on John GLOVER and some of his children. If any­one is interested, they can contact me for a copy. The GLOVER FAMILY has an annual reunion the third Sunday in September in Lonoke County at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church. The booklet on Glover will be presented at this reunion. Everyone interested in GLOVER or PARKER or other related families is welcome. John GLOVER'S 1st wife was Elizabeth PARKER of North­ampton Co., North Carolina. My cousin, Ruby Gagliana, of Lonoke has a lot of information to share at the reunion on the PARKERS. She has traced them back .to Engllmd several generations.

Mt. Zion United Methodist Church where the reunion is.held has quite a history also. Only this year a charge conference book was discovered which revealed the date Mt. Zion was organized, 15 February 1867. It was called Pleasant Grove until 1872 when a church building was constructed and named Mt. Zion. Several of John GLOVER'S children were prominent members 'of the church. This record book and membership roll books of Mt. Zion are on microfilm at the Arkansas History Commission, in Little Rock.

My ancestor chart' is really something because I have so many people on both sides who were related. John GLOVER and Elizabeth PARKER are my great great great grandparents 3 times. It is all really fascinating to me. Wish I had more time to spend on g·enealogy.

I certainly enjoy the Family Historian. I have only received 2 issues but I am so glad I joined."

issue of AFH. She noted that 80me of those MORGANS are the same names-in Rutherford Co., He and 1n the same time period. Perhaps someone will have information and can help me with some of my MORGANS, etc.

Seven Generations of the family of Polly Stewart Ray, Numbered by generation, starting with researcher.

1. Mole!e LIEse (Polly) Stewart M. Pletcher Homer Ray, Jr. 1952 2. Beulah Maye Bilbo married Louie El11s (Pinky) Stewart, 1920, Pearl River Co •• Mis •• 3. Jonathan Alonzo (John A.) Bilbo married Hole!e Eliza Smith, 1793, Pearl River Co.,

Miss. 4. Obedience Wallis (Beedy) M. James Oliver Bilbo C8 1859. Hancock Co., Ki.l. - Now

Pearl River Co •• Miss. 5. Elias Waills, b. S.C. ca 1793 married to Martha "Patsy" Wheat ca 1814, Hancock Co.,

Miss. 6. Samuel Wallis. birth date and place unknoWn, married Lucy MORGAN, Rutherford Co.,

N.C. ca 1790. both died ca 1814. Hancock Co., Kiss. Territory. Dec. 1811 per land grant.

7. Blias MORGAN married to Sally (1). He died in Edgefield Co., S.C. 1804, leaving a WILL which names children, WilH.am, Rebecca._ Sarah· and Lucy WALLACE, along with grandson, Elias WALLACE.

NOTES: 1790 Census District. Rutherford, N.C. Elias MORGAN, 1 Male over 16, I 1I81e UDder 16, 5 females.

1800 Census, Edgefield CO •• S. C.- Elias MOB.GAN: 1 male 16-26; 1 male over 45; 2 females 10-16; I female 16-26; 1 f over 45. 2 slavea.

Then from the census Elias undoubtedly had a daughter not named in the WI~. From records in Rutherford Co., N. C. he a180 had a aon named John.

Hancock Co., Court Docket appealed to High Court of Errors and Appeals, Mies. "Elias WALLIS. et a1 va. David WINDGATE, Admin. of Estate of Jordan MORGAN, deceased" we find that Jordan MORGAN was the son of John MORGAN who waa a brother of Elias MORGAN.

Also from court recorda of Rutherford Co., N.C. Elias MORGAN received a land grant March 2, 1775, on Little MOuntain Creek of Broad River, Rutherford Co., N.C. Other recorda of deeds, this one earliest record on Elias MORGAN 1n Rutherford Co., NC.

Thia is also the earliest record I find of Elias MORGAN. Tbere are otbers found in N.C. by this name. My research primarily on BILBO and WALLIS/WALLACE.

Court. records of Rutherford Co., N.C. published in Book. 1 have copy of the orig1nal re­cords but they are almost impossible to read.

Another Court record, Rutherford Co •• Ne. Martha MORGAN, widow of John MORGAN appts. attorney 1797 to recover sums in suit in Henry Co., VA., which could be a lead back to Virginia for MORGANS. Additional informat~on will be appreciated by Mrs. Ray.

Arkansas, 1912 and United States Senator from Ark. until his death in 1937. Family tradition has been that Joseph Taylor ROBINSON'S great grandparents were Michael Taylor and Jane (WELLS) TAYLOR. Michael & Jane were both born in Perry Co., Illinois. They were ,Southern sympathizers and moved from that county after the Civil War to Missouri. The parents of Michael TAYLOR were Thomas TAYLOR and Mary (WILSON) TAYLOR, both, born in South Carolina ca 1767 and 1774. This TAYLOR Family thought they were "cousins" to President Zachary TAYLOR and Mrs. Jeff DAVIS. So far there is no documentation.
