"Brief
Marriage"
Lanson H. Kearns was the brother of Rachel Ann Kearns
Hunt. They came to Arkansas from Gallia County, Ohio. I remember, as a young
person, being told that not long after the marriage Lanson’s wife ran off with
the rolling store man. We were never allowed to mention her name again. In
fact, I never knew what her name was until I saw the marriage license. The
original license was given to me by my late brother, Raymond A. Hunt. Pictured
is Charles Clarence Hunt (November 13, 1898 January 1934). Son of Rachel Ann
Kearns Hunt, husband of Clemma Cartwright Hunt. Buried in cemetery near
Plainview.

PLOWBOY BABYSITTER – This unique photo
was submitted by Historical Society member Bob Lambert of Higden. It was taken by his father, Joel Lambert,
White County’s first county agent, around 1915. The farm and farmer were not identified. Is this a joke – or did babies really ride
the plow when poppa was babysitting?

pioneers, the Ella Lambert family – in the 2000 edition of
White
County Heritage.
