SURNAMES: SAFFELL / DAVID:

QUERY: Dear Mr. Kelly, How wonderful it is to have this opportunity to be in touch with you. My Grandfather, Shelley P. Saffell, was born in Cecil, AR., on 12-27-1882. He was born to Elijah & Sarah Stokes Saffell. Elijah Saffell was born to John Franklin Saffell & Mary Tollett Saffell. Mary was born somewhere in Arkansas on 4-10-1834. John F. & Mary T. Saffell had another son, William David. Both sons were born in Arkansas, and I don't know for sure where William was born, but Elijah Saffell owned land in Franklin County in 1888. Needless to say, anyone, living or dead, with the surname of Saffell or Tollett would be somehow related to us. My dear Mother is getting up in years, and we are taking her to Arkansas in early May. It will be her first trip. I would so much like to have something to show her. Anything at all you could tell me would be so deeply appreciated.

SURNAMES: BELL CEMETERY:

QUERY: Looking for a Belt Cemetery, located in Franklin County, Ar. It is located near Watalula, Hwy 23 North go 2 miles, turn right on Hwy 352 and go 1.2 miles, turn left, go 1.1 miles, go 7/10 miles, turn right into cemetery.

Noticed you had a BELL cemetery listed, and wondered if maybe its a typo. I have many relatives buried there, and wondered if this cemetery could be listed on the Franklin County board for others.

Thank you, Lori Friedman
