Three part series of articles which appeared weekly in the Courier during
Feb 1942
We begin our trip this week just east of Hopewell Church at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Vivian Nations. Mr. Nations brother Buett and family have been
visiting them for several days.
Next, Mrs. Nixon and son live on E.L. Griffin's farm.
Then directly south of the church we see the new home of Mr. and Mrs.
E.L. Griffin that is rapidly nearing completion.
Traveling west again on the gravel road we see Mr. and Mrs. W.L.
I'm hoping there are some people on this list who get the Clay County
Courier. Someone told me that the Courier is running, or has just run, a
series of three articles by Marie Johnson originally written many years ago
but just republished. The articles were descriptions of western Clay
County, specifically around the Heelstring Community.
If anyone still has copies of their newspapers, I would be very interested
in getting those three articles. Please contact me at ScotStout@aol.com

living in the area at the time, where and who was this peak named after, my
Great Grandfather Sanford Ramond Higgs, "Sonny" lived for a time in or near
Dalton, and several of his children grew up in the area. Two of his sisters
married into the King family. If I remember correctly, my grandfather
William Sanford Higgs born 1888, sharecropped for the Daltons on and off,
during the late teens and possibly the late 20's and the e

I'm searching for a needle in a haystack. My grandmother, Mary Drucilla
Barber, married my grandfather, John Thomas Porterfield, in Fulton
County, Arkansas in about 1905. We do not know where she came from. All
we know is that she was married before to a man whose last name was
Roffe. She had three children by this marriage, two died very young, and
her son, Robert, died at age nineteen. Mr. Roffe (John, I think)
disappeared and she was told he was dead. She did not believe it, and
obtained a divorce before

now. At least we can sit by the fire for this trip and won't have to do as
John Jonas, who is in the Navy. did last week for he stood guard one night
in ten below zero weather.
You will recall that we had come back to the ravel road from Murphy's
