HENRY CLAY BETHEL DIARY
I have a bunch of names listed in the Diary of Henry Clay Bethel, Scott County 1887. I have him living south of the Poteau River Near Cauthron, because they would get blocked by the river on the way to Cauthron. He kept weather conditions, funerals, activities and people he had contact with. He raised tobacco, farmed and did survey work. He surveyed the Blackfork and Rich Mountain area July 1887 with several people from the same area. Some names noted:Sheriff Vise Will Vise Reed Vise W.B. Dozier ( Waldron ) S.A.
