15 June 1998- via email -According to information from Blanche Sirmans -

Did I send you a copy of the tombstone of Bailey Bales?. It is one furnished by the government for Confederates who died serving their country.(Confederate States of America) Of Course, no one knows where he was actually buried so this is placed in a cemetery in Marion County. I can tell you the name of the cemetery when

I look it up in some papers that I have.

------------Email from Blanche Sirmans - Jan 1998-- 1880 cesus of Marion County. I find the oldest child of Thomas and Martha to

be William J. age11. Other children listed were George W., my grandfather, Mary Jane

>>> (caled Jane by the family) Henry, Sarah Ellen. (called Ellen)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Email received on 14 July 1998- from "Troy Massey" <mosbcg@alltel.net>--

My name is Troy Massey and I put up the Confederate VA marker for Bailey

Bales at the Fairview Cemetery about 7-8 years ago. I obtained the

permission of Mrs. McCracken (Curly's mom) and advised her that these two

Confederates (as per the Turnbo book) were killed and left out in the

woods, near Jimmie's Creek.

This request had been sent to me by a lady in the United Daughters of the

Confederacy, from Oklahoma, who was the granddaughter of Bailey Bales. If

I recall she said her grandmother removed the family to Indian Territory

after the War and they have been there since. For me to locate her name

might take awhile. Assuming she might take the local paper, an inquiry

might receive quicker action than for me to dig through my files at this

point.

Hope this helps you on your inquiry.

Don Ott <dott@centuryinter.net>

Thanks for the question. The Marion County Historical and

Genealogical Society in cooperation with Mr. Troy Massey of

Harrison arranged for the stones to be placed in the Fairview Cemetery

which is about 4 miles north of Flippin, Marion, Arkansas on Highway

178. The old Wildcat Cemetery which was down on Jimmies Creek was

moved when Bull Shoals Dam was built because that area was to be

covered by water. It was incoroprated with the Fairview Cemetery

which is now a large very well kept cemetery.

As the Turnbo account says, no one knows where the two men

were buried, probably somewhere along the Jimmies Creek. That area

would now be covered by Bull Shoals Lake. I do not expect that

they were in the Wildcat Cemetery, but just included that for your

information.

The two stones were placed in the Fairview Cemetery in

memory of the two service men who lost their lives in the service

of their country by the "Sons of Confederate Veterans". Mr Massey

has been very diligent in recognizing service men who fought for

their country on both the Confecerate and the U.S. side. He may have

done some research on these two men to get his organization to

provide the stones. I suggest that you contact Mr. Massey, who is

currently a national officer in "Sons of Confederat Vetrans".

One among the roughest streams in North Arkansas is Jimmies Creek in Marion County, which empties into White River just below the mouths of the Two Sisters Creeks. Jimmies Creek is noted for its many rugged mountains gulches and rough hollows, but never the less it is inhabited by several industrious families and a few people settled along this water course several years before the war.

The other man with Private Bales was Sam Madell. I know that Turnbo says

both were in Co. A, 14 Arkansas Infantry but I can only find Bailey listed

not Sam. I had the local monument dealer make Mr. Madell a marker so I could

place both in the cemetery side by side since both were killed together.

This cemetery where they are buried has other members of their unit close by

which I felt appropriate.

==========================================

S. C. Turnbo, quite a good historian in his time, recorded in his unpublished manuscript several of the events of this period. Of one he wrote: "I well remember being at Yellville one day in the month of July 1861 when a call was made for volunteers to join the Confederate Army. A company of men raised in Marion County and the southern part of Taney County, Missouri, were present. These patriotic citizens had volunteered their services to defend the Southern cause. Their commanding officer was Captain William C. Mitchell4, whose company afterward formed part of the 14th Regiment of the Arkansas Infantry. Captain Mitchell marched his company back and forth through the streets to the music of two violins in the hands of Dan Coker and "Yellville" Bill Coker, who were members of the company:

As the soldiers marched along with the colors flying at the head of the column, both officers and men extended invitations to the men present to enlist in their ranks. A number of those gallant young men responded to the call of their friends and fell in line, willing to shed their blood for the "Sunny South."

3. THOMAS C.³ BALES (BAILEY², BALES¹) was born December 1849 in AR, and died Abt. 1923 in Pittsburg Co, OK. He married MARTHA JANE TYLER 1869 in ARk, probably Marion Co, daughter of JOHN TYLER and JANE REYNOLDS. She was born June 1847 in Marion Co, ARk, and died Abt. 1923 in Pittsburg Co, OK.

==========================

According to letter received from Blanche Sirmans - May 1990 and also told to me by

Lydia Bishop - " Thomas and his mother, had nothing to eat except turnip greens or maybe turnips for an entire winter during the Civil War..., the girls weren't mentioned, but, guess Thomas and his mother were the ones doing the providing."

Also, information from Bea Cochran - 1986 " during civil war, house burnt down by Sherman. Used to have to go out and pick cotton, sometimes only a yam for a meal"

***********

This is not all that surprising, especially since we know that Bailey Bales was killed during the Civil War. Thomas was the only son and would have been roughly between the age of 16 - 20. So the responsibility and necessity, would have been there for him to provide for his mother and his sisters.

Turnbos Tales of the South

An old timer of Marion County Ark. who has lived on Jimmies Creek since the early fifties has this to say of hard times at the close of the war between the states, "I and my wife lived 3 weeks at the close of the war without the least bit of bread. We were compelled to live on anything that we could use at all that had any nourishment about it and was not poisonous, wild onions and wild salad were hunted for and gathered all over the woods

========================================

According to conversation with Lydia Bishop (her father was 1/2 brother of Sarah Bales, wife of William Jackson Bales)- 1988.

"Thomas Bales and Martha, went to OK, when still a territory in covered wagon. Came from Briggsville, Ok and settled near McAlester, and farmed in area called "High Hill", near Haileyville. Later, were very poor and cared for by spinster daughter, Ellen and youngest son, John. (Both Martha and Thomas smoked Pipes)

Thomas and Martha Bales died approx. 1922-23, OK, buried in High Hill Cemetary."

====================================================

The area that includes present-day Pittsburg County was part of the Choctaw

Nation until Oklahoma statehood in 1907.

The Choctaw Nation extended from the present Arkansas border westward to

near Ada, and extended south from the Canadian River to the Red River. The

geographic area included three district designations, which were further

broken down into county-level areas. The Moshulatubee District contained

Gaines County, San Bois County, Skullyville County, Sugar Loaf County, and

Tobucksy County. Apuckshunnubbee District contained Boktucklo, Cedar, Eagle,

Nashoba, Red River, Towson, and Wade counties. Pushmataha District contained

Atoka County, Blue County, Jack's Fork County, and Kiamichi County.

Pittsburg County, Oklahoma was created from portions of Atoka, Gaines,

Jack's Fork and Tobucksy counties of the Choctaw Nation, and was named for

Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.

Bache is located 7 miles E of McAlester, and had its post office established

on February 26, 1903. It was named for Franklin Bache, a local mining

operator. The community was one of the stops along the interurban streetcar

route between McAlester and Hartshorne.

Haileyville sprang from the coal mining fields east of McAlester at the turn

of the century, and was named for Dr. Daniel Morris Hailey, who obtained

mineral leases from the Choctaw, Oklahoma, and Gulf Railroad. The post

office was established April 20, 1901.

Hartshorne is located E of McAlester on Highway 270 and was incorporated

March 1, 1900. It was named for Dr. Charles Hartshorne, a railroad official.

The post office was opened March 5, 1890 with Henry Martyn as Postmaster.

McAlester is the county seat and economic hub of the area, located at the

crossings of State Highways 69 and 270. Before the highways, McAlester could

be found at the crossing point of the Texas Road and the California Trail.

Both were wagon roads used primarily by migrating families; the Texas Road

ended in Dallas, Texas while the California Trail crossed the Southwest by

way of Fort Smith, Arkansas and Albequerque, New Mexico.

J.J. McAlester was the namesake of the town. He was a merchandising

frontiersman from Sebastian County, Arkansas, who set up a general store in

an area now called North McAlester, or "Old Town." His marriage in 1872 to a

member of the Chickasaw Nation allowed him to take up legal residence in the

Choctaw Nation.

His already profitable business was further enhanced by the decision of the

Katy Railroad (Missouri, Kansas, & Texas -- MKT) to develop a line from

Kansas to Texas through Indian Territory. The line ran right by McAlester's

store. In 1889, the Choctaw Coal and Railway Company completed a line that

connected the Frisco with the MKT by way of an East-West track. A

disagreement with McAlester over right-of-way permits caused the railroad to

look elsewhere for land. They found it a mile and a half to the south of

McAlester's store and the young community. Fritz Sittel, the son of a German

immigrant who had come to the area with the Katy construction, gave the new

line right-of-way through land he owned in exchange for business contracts

with the railroad. The community that quickly grew up alongside the new line

became known as South McAlester, and a post office was established in 1890.

Went to work in Joplin, Missouri, for awhile, because Charlie (son) had job for him, but, did not work out. Moved back to Haileyville, OK. Worked at coal mines. Lived east of Haileyville- near Dalle Lake. (2 Hills- one closest to Haileyville, where Sarah and Jack lived. Lydia remembers going there to play croquet with Virgie and Grace. Virgie and Grace use to go to Medthodist Church in Haileyville. Brother, Walter ( Bud) used to walk across the hills with lantern to go to church with them. Lydia thought Bud, something special. Said when she graduated high school in 1924 in Seligman, her gave her toilette set- of brush, comb, mirror and nail file set, powder box, etc.

Says all Bales in AZ by 1922-4. Says CHarles went to Seligman, during RR strike, was scab, and then hired as car inspector.

Wm Jackson Bales, came to Seligman 1922-23, but, had to go back to OK, when his parents died. 1937- all coal mines closed in OK.

not be surprised. However I think they left because of something more

serious.

Notes for SARAH E. WEBSTER:

According to phone call with Grace (Bales) prior to Sept 1987 -

Grandma Sarah Bales had older and younger brother. There has always been some question about the last name whether is Haskell or Webster.

========================================

1870 - Marion Co., Ar- Census in Flippen Barns Township :

#68 - Webster, Mary E. - age 23 - b. ARK

Webster, Sarah L. - age 2 - b. ARK

Haskett, James - age 9 - b. Ark

If the above reference is our Mary, and Sarah, then is possible that the name should be Haskett, not Haskell. Also, is possiblilty that James Haskett could be her brother instead of her son.......making her maiden name "Haskett". (See info on Mary)

===============================

Also note the middle initial for Sarah, and also note that birthdate for Sarah would be totally out of whack, as sources say that Sarah was born in May 1866, and the above Sarah, would be born 1868......... needs further looking into.

==============================

According to letter received from Robin Christopherson from Sponberg Mortuary, dated 27 April 1987 that handled the service of Sarah Bales - name was Sarah E Bales, b 8 May 1866, born in Webster, Ark, d 24 April 1959, age of 92--- informant was daughter Virginia Johnson.
