I have a lot of family buried at a cemetery in Devalls Bluff, which I had
noted as OAKLAWN, and I see on the Prairie Co page, one is listed as such,
described as being west of the city limits. However, I received a letter
from OAKLAND Cemetery association, J.C. "Pete" Castlebery, President. Is
this the same Cemetery and has a mistake been made by the Association, as
to it's name?
May you and yours enjoy a very HAPPY EASTER.

My sister, Helen MOSS BEASLEY, born 1931, wanted me to try to find out what
happened to some old school friends of hers. She went to school at Biscoe
until 6th Grade, then to Devalls Bluff after that. She thinks she went
through the 7th there, then we moved away. We also have a sister, Mary,
born 1929. Can you help? Here are some of the names Helen recalls.
Pauline Avants
Wilma Ruth Cook (was Vida Hall Cook her Mother?)
Flossie Perry
last name Russell, male
Lawrence Lancaster

I am researching the Rasco or Rascoe family genealogy. I am especially
interested in WILLIAM S. RASCOE who moved to Prairie County Arkansas about
1856 from Fayette County Tennessee. According to the 1850 and 1860 censuses
WILLIAM S. RASCOE was born somewhere in the state of North Carolina about
1822. It is believed that he died in Prairie County Arkansas before 1870.
WILLIAM S. RASCOE was married twice. His first wife was named W. H. E.
ABINGTON and theywere married October 21, 1846 in Fayette County
