The Hotel was to be decorated in period Christmas decorations from the early 1900's. The Tuesday before Thanksgiving some of the PCAHS members met for lessons on wreath making and bow tying, patiently taught by Kathleen Smith and Linda Wilson. The wreaths were formed from layers of magnolia leaves, blue cedar, holly with red berries, pine cones and sweet gum balls, topped with a hugh red bow. The crowning point of the wreaths were the sprigs of dried China berries tucked here and there. The Saturday after Thanksgiving, members of PCAHS met to begin the decorating of the Hotel. Each focal window boasted a single electric candle - the only modern decoration used. Three wreaths, nestled in greenery and showing up with majestic beauty, were spot lighted on the second floor. Two wreaths and a simple luscious "fresh fruit fan and fruit swag" fashioned by Kathleen Smith were spot lighted on the ground floor. Never in the lifetime of the writer has a town been more beautifully decorated as was Murfreesboro with thousands of golden lights, greenery, and red bows. Not to mention the wooden figures depicting all the different aspects of Christmas. The Nativity Scene, the Snowman, Santa and his elves and reindeer along with the Christmas Carolers all were wonderful but the most serene and much admired was our beautifully decorated Conway Hotel. DISPLAY CASE Located in the Foyer of the Murfreesboro Courthouse On loan to PCAHS from Kathleen Cooley Smith are Valentines from the early 1900's which belonged to her late husband Taylor Smith. These items were placed in our display case along with a newspaper clipping "REMEDIES for HEART TROUBLES" which was very apropos in celebration of St. Valentine's Day. Also on loan from Mrs. Smith were Primary Sunday School stories ca. 1911, a crochet book ca. 1916, and a newspaper "Bengin Social Visitor", Bengin, Hempstead County, Arkansas dated 13 May 1886, Volume 2, Number 40. These items will be featured in our Display Case in March 1990. We would like to express our thanks and gratitude to Mrs. Smith for sharing the above material. FAMILY REUNION WILSON - The descendants of the Sam and Lillian WILSON family will have a family reunion Sunday, May 27, 1990 at the Riverside Pavilion on Lake Greeson, Pike County, Arkansas. Lunch will be at 12:30 p.m. Family and friends are encouraged to come and bring old photos and mementos; for more information contact Linda Wilson, P.O.

Sparks (1804-1864) Henry S. Sparks the son of Jeremiah and Nancy (maiden name unknown) Sparks was born 22 April 1804 in Franklin County, Georgia and died 15 March 1864 in Pike County, Arkansas. Henry S. Sparks married Martha Osborn on 05 November 1829 in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Martha (Osborn) Sparks was born ca 1807 in South Carolina and died 08 January 1864 in Pike County, Arkansas. Henry S. and Martha (Osborn) Sparks had the following children according to (the) family record copied into the Bible of John Henry and Margaret (Sparks) Wood daughter of Henry S. and "Marthy" (Osburn) Sparks: (1) Russell Jones Sparks born 24 August 1830 married Sarah Caroline Osborn. (2) William Erwin Sparks born 10 September 1831 married Bedy Caroline Osborn. (3) Elizabeth Ann "Becky" Sparks born 21 July 1833 married John Cox. (4) Nancy Caroline "Cindy" Sparks born 30 April 1835 married W.M. Jinkins (Jenkins). (5) Margaret Jane Sparks born 23 November 1836 married John Henry Wood. (6) Rutha Marier Sparks born 10 May 1838 died 12 July 1939. (7) John Britton J. Sparks born 22 August 1840 married Sarah E. Carpenter. (8) Martha Manurvey Sparks born 07 September 1844 died 07 September 1844. (9) Sarah Amanda Lousinda Trimble Sparks born 23 June 1846 married Jett Millard Davis. (10) Henry Teague "Doc" Sparks born 15 October 1849 married "Susaner" Jane Griffin. The 1850 Census finds Henry S. SPARKS and his family living in Cherokee County, Alabama. Shortly after 1850 Henry S. Sparks, his wife "Marthy" and several of his children moved to Arkansas. They are listed in the 1860 Pike County, Caney Fork Township, Arkansas Census; their Post Office listed as Redland, Arkansas. It is very interesting to read the Caney Fork Township Census records. Many of the families who settled in Caney Fork Township probably traveled with the Sparks and Osburn families when they removed to Arkansas. One must keep in mind that one family rarely traveled alone in our early history but moved along in a caravan. For many families the trip only took a few weeks but more often than not it would take several years because the caravan would stop to make a crop for the trek across country. It was not unusual for all the families to be related, either by marriage or blood. As one can see by studying this census record, Henry S. and Martha (Osburn) Sparks helped populate Pike County, Arkansas and added much to the history in the area. Some of the descendants of Henry S. SPARKS and his wife "Marthy" (Osburn) SPARKS still live in Pike County, Arkansas. Much of the above material was abstracted from "THE SPARKS QUARTERLY" - The Official Publication of the Sparks Family Association". This family association has been in existence since March of 1953. The Sparks Family Association "motto" which appears as the heading of each quarterly is an Old Chinese Proverb which the editors feel any genealogist will appreciate: "To forget one's ancestors is to be a brook without a source, a tree without a root". The quarterlies are well presented and an enjoyment to read. The last quarterly of each year contains an Index. Inquiries regarding membership to this family association may be obtained by writing to Mr. B.J. Sparks, 16727 58th Place W., Lynnwood, WA 98036 or Russell E. Bidlack, Editor, 1709 Cherokee Road, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104. *************************************************************************** PCAHS would like to thank Mr. B.J. Sparks for his recent donation of the 1988 and 1989 issues of "THE SPARKS QUARTERLY". These quarterlies may be viewed at the PCAHS office located on the third floor of the Murfreesboro, AR courthouse. *************************************************************************** PUBLICATIONS FOR SALE "The Early History of Pike County, Arkansas" $12.00 The First One Hundred Years published by Pike County Heritage Club - reprinted with permission in 1989 by PCAHS - now includs Index and correstions "1870 Pike County Arkansas Printed U.S. Census" 15.00 by Dorothy Kennedy Partain (*NOTE* Price misprinted in Vol. I No. 1 newsletter) "The Diary" (Family History) 3.00 Carlton Denny of Delight "Crater of Diamonds: Jewel of Arkansas" published 6.00 1989 by Bobbie Hendrix (*NOTE* The Editors would like to apologize to Ms. Bobbie Hendrix for misprinting the title of her book in Vol. I No. 1 of our newsletter - the above is the correct title) "The Old Time Chronicle" by Karron Cox 1989 - back issues (when ordering back issues each copy only 2.00 please specify the month you wish to receive) All Proceeds Go to PCAHS *************************************************************************** Record of appointment of Post Masters 1832 - Sept. 30, 1971 National Archives Microfilm Publication M841 Roll #8 ARKANSAS: Madison - Sarber counties POST OFFICE - Redland, Arkansas Postmaster Established Discontinued Re-Established Buchannon, Hiram 07 Mar 1860 09 Jul 1866 10 Jun 1867 Buchannon, Hiram 10 Jun 1867 Carroll, David 08 Aug 1867 Cogburn, James 05 May 1871 Parker, Alexander W. 23 Jul 1872 Babbit, William 27 May 1875 11 Aug 1875 29 Jun 1877 Alford, James A. 26 Jun 1877 Tourner, A.C. 26 Mar 1883 Roper, C. 11 Jul 1883 19 Nov 1883 Mail to Kirby POST OFFICE - Caney Fork, Arkansas Postmaster Established Discontinued Re-Established Wagner, John 23 July 1879 *************************************************************************** QUERIES All Queries FREE to Members *Editor's Note* In this issues of the newsletter we are including queries which are on file in our Archives.
