  John Wesley MOORE, a grandson of Lynn W. COWDEN, and his new wife, Brunette (Biggs) COWDEN, widow of Linn C. COWDEN, a son of Lynn W. COWDEN. This picture was taken in Erath Co. TX on the event of their marriage in 1904.

John Wesley MOORE is listed on the 1860, 1870, and 1880 Benton Co. AR census. He was a son of either Katharine COWDEN or Martha COWDEN, both daughters of Lynn W. COWDEN, who appear maybe to have married the same man, Archibald MOORE.

The PALMER Family
Folks that lived in Siloam Springs, AR

Contributed by Mike Freels
This is a picture that I received from a descendant of Marion Johson POWERS. We do know they are POWERS family members. We do not know where it was taken. It could be in either Benton County or Washington County as the family lived in both places. We believe them to be family members of the Gardner. If you have any information please contact

Two photos of POWERS family members, one taken at Hansard studio and the other at Hansard & Larrick. In the photo on the left, the girl to the far left is Ida Mae POWERS, daughter of Gardner and Julia Cannon POWERS, wife of Marshall Luther McLAIN married 1891 in Rogers.

I have no idea who the man or other woman are! In the photo on the right, the man in the middle resembles Ida Mae's half-brother Marion Johnson POWERS and Ida Mae is on the right.

Does any one recognize these people? And does anyone know when Hansard Studio went out of business....R.W. Hansard died 4 April 1894 Did his business die with him?
