SCOTT COUNTY ARKANSAS
COUNTY OFFICERS

Bryce W. Self

Except for some spelled-out abbreviations (Chas.=Charles, etc.) these are copied as listed in the WPA Survey. There are some obvious errors left uncorrected: for instance under State Representative "1862-1864 - Lemming, Lijah" is obviously the same man reelected "1866-1868 - Lemming, E." and his first name was Elijah. But that's the way I found it.
