Clarence Everett DAVIS and Emma May RONE had a son Dwain Donley
DAVIS on 24MAY1912. They were living in a rural area near Centerton,
Benton County, Arkansas. The birth cert states that Clarence was
a farmer and Emma was a housewife, and that they were both born
near Centerton, Arkansas.
Clarence's age at the time of his son's birth was 22, Emma's age
at the time of her son's birth was 18.
Dwain Donley DAVIS' middle name, DONLEY, was thought to have been
a family name or possibly another surname associated with the
DAVIS family. Any connections, or suggestions on where I go from
here would be much appreciated.

is found in Pea Ridge with his wife Elizabeth and daughters Martha
14 and Louisa (?) 14. He is buried in 12 Corners Cemetery just

were born in TN. I need to know if the Martha HEATH shown on the
census is the Martha R. b. 16 Feb 1836 TN who married George Sylvester

I'm interested in finding out about my maternal grandmother's family.
She grew up in Pea Ridge with the name Kathryne Keen. Her family
changed the name to Keene while she was growing up. (I'm clueless as to
why.) She was married once before she married my grandfather, James
Ellis. They made their home in his native Barry County, Missouri. I
don't know who my grandmother's first husband was. I believe her
father, Wesley Keen owned a sawmill outside of Pea Ridge. Hettie Keen
was her mother's name. They had 4 children; Billy Wes, Connie, Kathryne
and Willis. Anything you can find would be greatly apperciated!!!! My
e-mail address is JOsteen176@AOL.com.

Lane 11 Jan 1998
I am searching for my Lane ancestors. My grandfather was John Edward
Lane ( b. 14 Sept. 1885, d. 30 Mar. 1962). He was married to Lora Allen
Shipley ( b. 28 May 1889, d. 22 Jun 1944). They are both buried in
Afton, Ok. I believe his father was Charles Lane ( b. 21 Apr. 1859, d.
22 Oct. 1899) and his mother was Julie Ann (Trout?)Lane Proctor (b.
1868, d. 1956). Both Charles and Julie are buried in Dickson Cemetery,
outside of Cherokee City, Benton County, Ark.
Also buried in Dickson Cemetery is David Lane ( b. 1851, d. 1916). I
believe he might be Charles' brother. Edward G. ( b. 1831, d. 1917) and
Mary A. (?) Lane ( b. 1831, d. 1908) are buried in Dickson Cemetery. I
believe that Edward G. and Mary A. Lane are the parents of John and
David. I have no conclusive evidence other than are buried next to one
another in Dickson Cemetery.
I have recent pictures of the above mentioned Lanes in Dickson
Cemetery.
Does anyone have any information on these Lanes??

might be able to give me a better picture of the town and its
residents. In my research, I have come across such names as HUMMEL,
Millie; GRAHAM, Barry and Josephine; CRONENBERG, Miriam. Am especially
interested in seeing photgraphs taken of the area between 1900-1936
and hearing stories of from time period.
