Leave the flowers, others enjoy them too!

Some Montgomery County residents had their marriages recorded at the Polk County Courthouse. Transcribed from the marriage books at the courthouse in Mena. People did not get too far from home. They married their neighbors and cousins.

Egger, Polk Co. is now Cherry Hill.
Waters, Mont. Co. is now Pine Ridge. Pine Ridge is 21 miles from Mena and 20 miles from Mt Ida. Why Mena and not Mt. Ida? The route to Mena by wagon was better as you did not have to pass over the windy roads and Mauldin Mtn. Mena was a bigger center with a railroad depot and a larger variety of merchandise. Another resource.

And had a joyous flow,
In the days when we were pioneers,
Fifty years ago!"
