Mrs. Mary Corney, who has gained so much notoriety through chasing her
husband all over the state and having set aside two divorces he obtained,

Monday, July 4, promises to be a very quiet day for Van Buren, as most of

a fat man's race, nor any "monkey" business, but that they will have

No, I am sorry but my microfilm only go through September 1912. I will
eventually buy more film but have some others I am transcribing. When I have
completed those I will purchase more.

Fran,
Do you have any articles about the shooting of Henry Starr in Harrison,
Boone County, Arkansas? He was shot while he was holding up the bank there
and he died the next day. One of my distant Wagley cousins was the president
of the bank when this happened in 1921. I have one article I found on the
Net but would like more if you have any.
Henry Starr was the nephew of Sam Starr who was married to Belle Starr.
Thanks.
Phyllis

John A Liggett, aged 67 years, an inmate of the Confederate Home, was found
dead in bed Tuesday. He came to Pulaski County from eastern Kentucky some
two weeks ago, later entering the home. He was in indigent circumstances. So
far as known he left no relatives. He was a member of Company I, 30 Texas
Cavalry, Ganos Brigade, and had papers to show he had a gallant record as a
private soldier. He later became a stock dealer in Kentucky.
