[ARMONTGO] MENA - Buddy Harbour gardens the old-fashioned way, with a horse
and plow.
6/15/2009
Horses, mules still reign for a few state growers
BY NANCY COLE
Posted on Monday, May 4, 2009
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Northwest Arkansas Edition
http://www.nwanews.com/adg/National/258822/
MENA - Buddy Harbour gardens the old-fashioned way, with a horse and plow. "It's
the only way to make a garden," he said as his 12-yearold horse, Copper, pulled
a plow through a small backyard plot near Mena. "My daddy never owned a
tractor," said Harbour, 78, who grew up near Norman in Montgomery County.
Instead, the family relied on three or four horses or mules to cultivate and log
their land, he said. Although Harbour left the family farm to work in
construction, he spent several years training draft horses from Colorado to
Massachusetts. Many of those Belgians, Clydesdales, Percherons, Shires and
Suffolks weighed as much as 2,000 pounds and stood as high as 6 feet at the
shoulder, he said. Copper, a Haflinger, weighs only 1,200 pounds and stands
about 4 feet, 8 inches high. Smaller and more versatile than traditional
draft-horse breeds, Haflingers can be used for pulling or riding. Harbour is one
of only a handful of Arkansans who still rely on animal power for farming or
logging, said Steve Jones, equine specialist with the University of Arkansas
Cooperative Extension Service.
Historically, horses were used primarily in Arkansas for riding or pulling
buggies. Their population peaked in 1910 at more than 280,000, according to the
U.S. Department of Agriculture. After World War II, that number declined rapidly
as automobile use spread and as farmers and loggers mechanized their operations.
The horse population reached a low in 1969 of fewer than 25,000. Since then, the
number of horses and ponies has rebounded, reaching nearly 80,000, according to
the 2007 Census of Agriculture. A more accurate number is nearly double that
figure, said Jones, citing a 2005 American Horse Council survey that found
168,014 horses in Arkansas. The increasing numbers are attributable to the
growing popularity of recreational activities that involve horses, such as trail
rides, horse shows and rodeos, he said. Nearly 90,000 households in the state
own more than 50 breeds of horses, including quarter horses, thoroughbreds,
draft horses, American paint horses, Arabians, Morgans and Tennessee walking
horses, Jones said. In addition to horses, oxen were used occasionally in years
past to skid logs out of Arkansas' forests, but mules were the state's
predominant draft animal for nearly a century, he said.
A hybrid that results from the cross between a female horse and a maledonkey,
the mule was well suited for work on cotton plantations, said Martin Garrett, an
economic historian who has studied their virtues as draft animals. Compared with
horses, mules are hardier, more sure-footed, less temperamental, better able to
withstand heat, eat less and tend to live longer, Garrett said. Many people,
like U.S. District Judge Bill Wilson Jr. of Little Rock, also believe mules are
smarter. "Anything a horse can do, a mule can do better," with only two
exceptions, said Wilson, who owns three riding mules, including a two-time
world-champion gaited mule. "A horse can run faster, and a horse can swim
faster," he said. Arkansas' mule populationpeaked in 1930 at more than 360,000,
but fell to fewer than 1,000 by 1982. According to the 2007 Census of
Agriculture, the state now is home to almost 8,000 mules, burros and donkeys.
Renewed interest in draft animals has developed nationwide since the 1970s, said
Joe Mischka, editor and publisher of Rural Heritage magazine. Established in
1976, the bimonthly journal has about 11,000 subscribers, and its Web site
serves as a national marketplace for horse, mule and oxen teams. Mischka credits
the resurgent interest in working animals to several factors including the
Foxfire books, a series of 12 volumes published between 1972 and 2004 that
documented the vanishing culture of the southern Appalachian Mountains, and
Mother Earth News, a magazine about sustainable, self-reliant living that was
started in 1970. "People began returning to the ways that their grandfathers
used to do things, whether that's in gardeningor farming or logging," he said.
..."Horses help teach things that are difficult to teach to young people these
days, things like responsibility and work ethic and stewardship," he said. ...

In Arkansas, the state Department of Correction owns the largest number of
working horses and mules. The prison system uses about 300 riding horses
statewide, said Earl Pepper, who is responsible for all of the department's
cattle, horses and mules.
In addition, the Wrightsville Unit near Little Rock maintains
four draft teams of horses and two teams of mules that help feed the unit's
1,400 head of beef cattle by pulling a wagon equipped with an automated "cube
feeder" through the pastures each winter, Pepper said. "They're a lot cheaper
than a tractor and, the way that unit is situated, they're still practical," he
said. The North Central Unit near Calico Rock in Izard County also has two teams
of draft mules used to pull wagons and haul debris, Pepper said. Few horses and
mules are used nowadays in Arkansas as draft animals, said Tommy Warren of
Fulton in Hempstead County, who trains both kinds of animals to pull wagons and
farm equipment. "It's a lot of fun, but there's not very many folks that do it
anymore," Warren said. "I'm 38 years old, and most of the people that I train
animals for, they're retired and they want to have something like their
grandfather had." Tim Wilf of Pleasant Plains in Independence County also trains
draft animals but specializes in riding mules, which he sells to trail-ride
operators in the western United States. One of the last Arkansans to use horses
and mules for logging was Johnnie Sarlo of Mablevale in central Arkansas. Sarlo
started in 1960 with only animal power and then shifted in 1965 to machinery. "I
always did miss them," said Sarlo, referring to his animals, so in 1990 he
bought a team of draft horses. "I was just going to play with them," he said,
but people found out about the animals and started asking for them, especially
when erosion was a concern. Sarlo continued to log with horses and mules until
2004, when he and his teams retired.
Today, many horses and mules are little more than "pasture
pets." Harbour, the Mena gardener, admits that working with draft animals is a
dying art. During the early 1990s, he advertised in The Draft Horse Journal, a
quarterly magazine based in Waverly, Iowa, and ended up spending seven months in
Nevada City, Calif., training 19 young draft horses to pull tourist carriages.
Harbour also worked for Historic Washington State Park in Hempstead County. "I
went down there and spent a whole summer training a girl how to drive a team,"
he said. Working with draft animals has provided many fond memories, Harbour
said, not to mention plentiful harvests of green beans, potatoes and sweet corn.

[ARMONTGO] Montgomery County Cogburn and White Lines
List user 1/3/2009
Author: sandrawortham72
I continue to look for the father of my Wm I Cogburn b. AR 1872 (this is Wm I.
married to Jennie Teresa Davis) as well as parents of Wm's mother Louisa Amanda
White. Wm was born April 1872 and his father died prior to this birth placing
his death between abt July 1871-Apr 1872; I do not have even an est dob other
than his wife Luisa was b. abt 1854 for whatever that could be worth. We keep
coming back to Montgomery Co for possible birth place of Wm, and his
uncle/Luisa's brother Wm Jasper White was born Black Springs we found recently;
as well as find Cogburns in Black Springs. Perhaps Wm's father died there? Oral
history is he died of some sort of injury, pehaps from a horse accident, rather
than an illness. Louisa then married Adam F. Whisenhunt, the family moved to TX
and we seem to have no info on Wm's Cogburn line; we continue to hit brick walls
on the Cogburns as well as the Whites past Louisa & Wm Jasper. Any clues, any
help much appreciated. I just keep thinking some!
Cogburn line is missing a member early on and could head me in the right
direction.
Thank you, Sandra

Re: [ARMONTGO] Lee Roy Abbott Sr
List user 3/1/2009, 11:12:50 PM
Hi Cynthia: It's good to hear from someone who is also looking for Lee Roy
Abbott Sr. Lee Roy is my great-great grandfather on my mother's side. How are
you related?
I basically have the same info that you have but I've pretty much ruled out
Simson and Narcissa being his parents.
Lee Roy was born in 1815, which has been verified through the 1850 and 1860
censuses.
Simpson was born in 1806 and Narcissa in 1815. According to the info I have they
were married on Dec 15, 1831. So if this info is correct they couldn't be his
parents.
Does this correspond with the info you have on them?
Lee Roy Sr has been a really big brick wall for me. If you like we can trade
data that we have and compare it.

You are right. I found the same information you did, but thought the same thing.
Brick Wall, and I am anxious to find out more information. I am hoping the
information I have is correct regarding my grandfather; Lee Roy Abbott Sr is my
grandfather's (Burt Abbott) grandfather. Lee Roy Jr Abbott was supposedly Burt's
father. My tree is Abbott/Robbins.
I had hit a brick wall on the Robbins side a while back and had hoped I would
have gotten further with the Abbott side. I am curious how and when the Abbott's
arrived in Arkansas, which is where I am from and live. I often drive through a
small town named Abbott when I visit family in southern Arkansas and have often
wondered if there was a relation between them and my family.
Would absolutely love to exchange information, though mine may be limited

I am assuming Joseph Wacaster was born about 1850 in Arkansas, I know nothing
about his parents or what happened to him. I searched the death index and surely
didnt not find him. He married in Dec 1, 1870 IN Montgomery Co Arkansas, to
Martha A. Pettijohn. The Arkansasclerk put down her middle initial as E. But it
is A. We dont know if he just died or deserted Martha. She later remarries a
William Love June 3, 1884, he ran off , desertingMartha. Later she married
again, to Thomas Ayers, October 16, 1899, she was 45, he was 62. Just would like
to know if anyone can help locate the other two husbands to learn whatever
became of them. Many thanks
