- JACKSON - EVERETT - H. - - - UNK - 3 14 1898 - CITY - - Everett H.Jackson, formerly assistant-postmaster of this city, and a most upright and honorable, highly respected and greatly loved young man, died Monday night, Mar.14,1898 at the home of his brother, T.H.Jackson, in Cherry Valley, of consumption. His remains were brought here for interment, arriving Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock, and were met at the depot by the Knights of Honor and a large concourse of citizens and friends, and followed to the cemetery, where services were conducted by Rev.A.E.Holloway, of the Methodist church, and the Knights of Honor, of both of which deceased was an esteemed member. "Eb" as he was familiarly known and called, had been in bad health for several years. Last year he had an operation performed, for fistula, and has never grown better. Recently he went to San Antonio, but grew worse and did not stay but a short time. After returning to Cherry Valley he gradually and rapidly grew weaker, and the end came to his sufferings Monday. In life we had talked with him of our health, and of his contemplated trip to San Antonio. He expressed the wish that we could go together. He seemed to think that the change would do him good, and that he would be able to go to work when he arrived there. But he waited too long. Death had marked him, and he is now at peace. He was an earnest and energetic worker in the Methodist church and that organization has missed his services, especially at the young people's meetings. The bereaved family has our sincere sympathy in this sad hour, though it is comforting to know that his brother's sufferings are o'er, and his life, so pure, has gone out and back to the giver, and that his soul is now with God.

- JONES - ED - - - - Unk - 1894 - FCTIMES - - The result of a quarrel over a bill of fruit trees. Ed Jones fatally wounded, and Joe Shumate and Willis Jones painfully shot. Dr. Emmet Allen dead. The particulars of an attempt upon the life of Joe Shumate, and which resulted in the death of Dr.Emmet Allen, an innocent bystander, reached town Tuesday morning. It seems that Joe Shumate, a fruit tree vendor, a citizen, of Colt, nine miles north of Forrest City, had traded an invoice of trees to a man named Bampson, for one or more hogs, and on Monday started in the buggy to possess the swine. Dr. Emmet Allen, having business in Wynne jumped into the buggy, and they drove off . When they entered the Caldwell place, they met Ed Jones. Shumate stopped and asked Jones to settle for a bill of trees which he had ordered, and payment was refused. Hot words ensued, but Shumate and Allen drove on. Jones took a circuitous route and arrived at the home of his brother, Willis, who lives on the Dodson place three miles from Colt, in Cross county, near Smith chapel. Here he informed his brother of the trouble and procured a hammerless shot gun, and stationed himself at the gate awaiting the arrival of Shumate, who soon put in an appearance, having to pass that way in his journey. The quarrel was renewed and Jones is said to have tried to shoot, but owing to complications of the hammerless shot gun which he did not fully understand, was delayed a few moments and in the meantime, Shumate, who had a gun in the buggy fired the shot taking effect in Jones' stomach. Willis and Zeke Jones then appeared on the scene with a shot gun and pistols, and the firing became general. A shot supposed to have been fired by Ed Jones took effect in the arms of Shumate and Allen, from which the later died 12 hours later, from loss of blood. Later Ed Jones died Wednesday, and it was stated that Willis Jones was dead and Shumate was not expected to recover.12-14-1894

- JONES - WILLIS - - - - Unk - 1894 - FCTIMES - - The result of a quarrel over a bill of fruit trees. Ed Jones fatally wounded, and Joe Shumate and Willis Jones painfully shot. Dr. Emmet Allen dead. The particulars of an attempt upon the life of Joe Shumate, and which resulted in the death of Dr.Emmet Allen, an innocent bystander, reached town Tuesday morning. It seems that Joe Shumate, a fruit tree vendor, a citizen, of Colt, nine miles north of Forrest City, had traded an invoice of trees to a man named Bampson, for one or more hogs, and on Monday started in the buggy to possess the swine. Dr. Emmet Allen, having business in Wynne jumped into the buggy, and they drove off . When they entered the Caldwell place, they met Ed Jones. Shumate stopped and asked Jones to settle for a bill of trees which he had ordered, and payment was refused. Hot words ensued, but Shumate and Allen drove on. Jones took a circuitous route and arrived at the home of his brother, Willis, who lives on the Dodson place three miles from Colt, in Cross county, near Smith chapel. Here he informed his brother of the trouble and procured a hammerless shot gun, and stationed himself at the gate awaiting the arrival of Shumate, who soon put in an appearance, having to pass that way in his journey. The quarrel was renewed and Jones is said to have tried to shoot, but owing to complications of the hammerless shot gun which he did not fully understand, was delayed a few moments and in the meantime, Shumate, who had a gun in the buggy fired the shot taking effect in Jones' stomach. Willis and Zeke Jones then appeared on the scene with a shot gun and pistols, and the firing became general. A shot supposed to have been fired by Ed Jones took effect in the arms of Shumate and Allen, from which the later died 12 hours later, from loss of blood. Later Ed Jones died Wednesday, and it was stated that Willis Jones was dead and Shumate was not expected to recover.12-14-1894

- JUSTISS - ALLISON - ANN - MISS - - 4 2 1991 - 6 25 2007 - MEMORIAL SERVICE - - Allison Ann Justiss, 16, was born April 2, 1991, and left her family's loving arms to join the Lord's merciful embrace on Monday, June 25, 2007. She was surrounded by those she loved, who were blessed to have known her. She is survived by her mother, Rebecca McDowell; her step-father, Allen McDowell; her sister, Laura; her brothers, John and Alex; her father, Richard; her aunt, Bobbie Low; her uncle, Mike Low; her cousin, Allison Low; her uncle, Troy Garlin; and her uncle, Ronnie Justiss. She was preceded in death by her cousin, Sara Low; now, these beautiful daughters have been reunited. Allison's life was dedicated to bettering others', and she did so without regards to her own wants. She was the recipient of the F.I.T. Award at Camp Ozark, which is given to one who consistently puts the needs of God and others before herself. Her proudest achievement was receiving the Sotomora Service Award as a Sweetheart for the Little Rock Chapter of the American Heart Association; she accumulated over 300 service hours in less than a year by volunteering at multiple hospitals in Little Rock every single weekend and most weeknights, which almost doubled the amount of hours earned by previous recipients. Her final, and most generous, act of giving was to donate her organs so that others could live in her stead. Allison was a proud and accomplished student at Little Rock Central High School, and that proud Tiger would not have gone anywhere else. She loved attending football and basketball games, and she always looked forward to dressing up for Spirit Week. She was involved in numerous student organizations, through which she furthered her volunteer work. While she enjoyed all of her classes, she excelled in the art classes that fostered her natural creativity and let her show others how beautiful she was on the inside. She was also kind enough to let others hear this inner beauty whenever she played the piano, with which she had an uncanny and mature talent. Allison also participated in many activities where she was not the most talented, because she knew she could be with enough practice and determination. She enjoyed playing in the Hillcrest Softball League, even though she had trouble getting past first base because of her dainty running. She was not disappointed when she did not make High Steppers for Central High, because she was determined to take dance lessons until she could make it the following year. Allison was also known for her childlike and unquestioned faith in God. She enjoyed participating in numerous youth groups in Little Rock, though she always made a point to attend Young Life every week. Her time there with her friends fostered her belief and cemented her relationship with God, with whom she can now rest. Allison's greatest source of joy was always her family and friends. She raced home every day to tell her family about every detail of her friends' lives, and she loved to stay up with those friends to discuss their plans for the future. She was always happy to spend time at home with her family, where she went from room to room to make sure that her parents and siblings knew her love and joy. Her ringing laughter will be missed. A public memorial service will be held 2 p.m., June 28th, at First United Methodist Church, 723 Center Street, Little Rock, AR 72201. Rev. Michael Mattox will officiate, "Uncle" Fred Arnold will lead Allison's loved ones in prayer, Dir. of Volunteers at Baptist Health Hospital Jim Gibbons will offer words about her volunteer service, and her brother John will present the eulogy. All those who were privileged enough to have known her kindness, generosity, and love, are invited to attend and celebrate a life that will not be forgotten. Her family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude: to the staff at Baptist Health Hospital and First United Methodist Church, as their uninterrupted attention to Allison's needs gave peace to all; and to Landrey White and David Harrison, whose devotion to Allison returned some of the happiness she gave to everyone she met. In lieu of flowers, her family

Sorrow for our loss and the loss to others to whom she was near and dear. Thinking of the loss to him who has been her faithful friend and companion for thirty years, who was her unselfish and devoted husband, her other self, and to whom she was more than all the world, and in whom she lived and reigned as a guiding star; thinking of her daughters, Mrs.Powers of Galveston, and Mrs.Vadakin of this city, to whom she was an unselfish and indulgent mother in all that word means; of her grandchildren to whom she was devoted and for whom she "builded many castles"; and for her two sisters, a brother and ourselves to whom she had endeared as a mother by her kindly care and advice, and of Mrs.C.L.Knight, her untiring and devoted friend, and of a throng of other friends to whom she had endeared herself herself in the days of her strength;thinking of these and their loss, we write in ink and tears. But thinking of her and her great suffering, the long and tedious confinement, her beautiful life assuring us of her habitation with God, and that she prayed so earnestly that this cup might be taken from her, and that she might have rest, we are glad for her sake that the inevitable has been fulfilled. For the most part she was conscious until 4:30 a.m. Saturday, when she seemed in great pain and lapsed into unconsciousness, and at 7:30 a.m. Sept.14,1895, she entered into rest. The funeral was on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. from the late residence to the Forrest City cemetery for interment, Rev.J.E.Williams officiating. Sept.20,1895 Forrest City Times Newspaper.

- LEWIS - MARGARET - LUCILLE - MISS - - 9 5 1900 - 2 4 1911 - MT.VERNON - - 2-10-1911 DEATH=The Forrest City Times, Feb. 10, 1911. LOVED LITTLE GIRL DIES. Margaret Lucille Lewis, Only Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Lewis, Passes Away Saturday Night. 'Tis a sad duty indeed, when in the course of the day's work, it becomes necessary to chronicle the deaths of whose we love. 'Tis a sad duty even when the subjects of our feeble efforts have lived their alotted three-score and ten, or when they were personally unknown to us and the chronicling is largely a matter of mechanical effort. But when the subject is one whom the writer has known and loved, the duty then indeed becomes a painful task, and one from which we shrink. On last Sunday morning when the news reached us of the death the night before, shortly after 11:30 o'clock, of little Margaret Lucille Lewis, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. Wright Lewis, we could scarely credit the shocking tidings. It seemed that there must have been some horrid mista,e, that it had been only a few short days since we had seen this sweet, daring little girl in all her childish innocence, about the streets with her loving, devoted parents, and on her way to and from school, and then to hear of her death jut as she was on the threshold of life, seemed to us almost incredible. Lucille had been ill for only about a week, and seriously ill for only three or four days. She was stricken just seven days before her death with an attack of the measles, which grew worse in spite of all that medical skill and kindly, loving care could do, and finally on Saturday night the gentle little body gave up its spirit and little LUcille went to dwell in her Father's house, and left desolate a home in which she had been the brightest jewel.
