MALLORY CECIL 9 26 1892 12 18 1912 MT.VERNON
12-20-1912 MURDER TRADEDY AND ITS HORRIBLE SEQUEL=In the killing of Deputy Sheriff R.S.Moore, followed by the pursuit and subsequent killing of his slayer, Cecil Mallory, on Wednesday, Dec.18,1912, the citizens of Forrest City have again passed through a day of horror and excitement. These tragic events have taken from our midst one of the county's most and efficient officers, and on the other hand, brought grief to the homes of some of our best and loyal friends. Despite his waywardness, Cecil Mallory was loved by his grandmother, Mrs.Moore, where he could always go and find a welcome and by whom he was always loved and t whom he never appealed in vain. To Mrs.Moore, Cecil was never her "little boy," and she cherished, nourished and sheltered him, even when the world had turned its back on him, and even when the stories against him were the blackest. Young Cecil's father, Mr.Emmet Mallory, has always stood staunchly by his son and endeavored to keep him away from evil elements. His uncles, Messers.Ed, John and Ike Mallory, have never faltered in their loyalty and friendship to Cecil. It seems after killing Moore, Cecil decided that he would never surrender to the authority of the law. He took the deputy's gun and keys, recovered after he was shot down at Widener. He drew his gun when told to halt by two deputy's in pursuit, and they fired a double barrelled shotgun into Mallory, killing him within minutes without a word spoken. Moore's body was conveyed to the home of Col.and Mrs.D.Downey, until when the body was shipped to Goodwin township, to be buried at the family. The deceased's father, Mr.W.R.Moore, and his brother Mr.Lee Moore, of Goodwin accompanied the body. NO HEADSTONE

McCORMICK GEORGE W. 5 3 1829 3 29 1900 CITY
Death of George W.McCormick-As the Times goes to press today, the remains of one of our dear friends is being laid to rest in the FORREST CITY. About ten days ago "Uncle George" McCormick, as he was familiarly known, was stricken from his usual walks with sickness. It came in the form of a chill, and rapidly developed into pleure-pneumonia. He suffered greatly and lingered until yesterday, Mar.29,1900, when he passed into another sphere. The funeral today at 11 o'clock was conducted by Eld.A.N.Couch, of the Baptist church, and a large concourse of bereaved relatives and sorrowing friends followed the remains to their last resting place. Mr.George W.McCormick was born in Henderson, Kentucky, May 3,1829, and if he had lived until the third of May, next year, he would be 71 years of age. He had been married four times, the last time in 1895 to Mrs.Permelia Kent Hodges, mother of Will, Sam and Lewis Hodges, who are well known. He leaves a wife and three children, Mrs.Clara Howell of Memphis, by his first wife, and Hugh and Vivia (Mrs.Bud Boyle) who will greatly miss fatherly protection and counsel. "Uncle George" was a cousin to McCormick of the "McCormick Reaper" fame, and a cousin of Leander J.McCormick who died just a month ago, and who before his death prepared a history of the McCormick family, accurately tracing the lineal descendants from their ancestor who lived in the year of our lord, 1628 down to the year 1898. His death extinguishes the old McCormick line, all of whom lived to a ripe old age. L.J. was 73 years old at his death. George McCormick came to Arkansas in the early 50's from Kentucky. He was one of the pioneer settlers, and by hard work, economy, and frugality was considered well-to-do at his death. As late as the last day of last summer, he was out in the fields, and brought his produce to town in his familiar wagon. In 1878 he patented a churn which took first premium at the Centennial Exposition, but his model was stolen and other parties benefitted by it. He also invented the "Planet Jr. Cultivator", we think, and from that received a considerable income. 3-30-1900

When on last Friday, it became known that the spirit of Capt.W.H.McDaniel had left its frail, enfeebled body, friends remarked on the vitality and strength of constitution which enabled him to battle so many years against the inroads of time. William Howerson McDaniel was born in St.Francis County Jan.17,1834, and died Oct.21, 1904. His love for his native state and county, was shown by his continued residence here during his entire life. When the Civil war began and volunteers were first called he was one of the first to enlist, joining the 13th? Arkansas as a First Lieutenant. At the battle of Shiloh, he replaced his captain lost in battle. He survived the war, being wounded several times at Murfressboro. At Chickamauga, when the smoke had cleared of that great battle, he and his friend, Jesse Hodges stood among the thousands of dead and dying, and being the sole survivors of their company. He chose to return home to enlist more to the cause, when he was captured on this trip, and sent to Johnson's Island where he remained until the end of the war as a prisoner. At the close of the war, he returned home and married Miss Mollie Elender Fondren, of Tennessee, on Jan.24,1867. They were the parents of three children:Mrs.John W.Naylor, Mrs.Sydenham R.Trapp, Jr., and Mrs.Percy H.Barker, all of whom were with him, and ministered to his wants.

McGOWAN Grant UNK 10 23 1895 FCTIMES
R.L.Freeland, of Prairie township, came over yesterday morning on the early eastbound train, from Palestine bringing the news of the brutal assassination of Grant McGowan, about 10 o'clock Wednesday night at his home, about four miles north of Palestine, while asleep in his bed with his family. The bed was withing two feet of the window, and the assassin fired a shot through a broken pane literally, tearing away the top of the victim's head and setting the pillow on fire as the pistol was so close to the head. There is no clue to the identity of the perpetrators, but it is thought that he knew too much about the killing of Tom Cape and Mrs.Southall, which occurred in that neighborhood in the spring of last year, and that it was with the idea of silencing him forever that this ghastly deed was committed Wednesday night. 10-25-1895 Three new boarders were received at the county bastile Saturday evening. They were Ben Thomas, Bill and Dave Williams. They were arrested in Prairie township Saturday. On Sunday, John Swartz, a stave man, was arrested, and likewise placed behind bars. The latter was captured at the home of Mrs.Campbell, L'Anguille township. The quartette were deprived of their of their liberty on a warrant issued by Squire Nelson charging them with the assassination of Grant McGowan. Bill Williams and Ben Thomas were brother-in-laws of the victim of this black plot on Oct.22,1895. PAPER 12-20-1895

McHANEY WILLIAM 1809 4 2 1909 FCTIMES
4-16-1909 I regret to announce the death of Mr.William McHaney, father of Miss Neda McHaney, who taught school at Oak Grove last year. The sad event took place at Paragould, Ark. on Apr.2, 1909 at the advanced age of 90 years. The death of this noble man was full of years of honor. His circle of friends was large, but select. Though neither a politician nor writer on public topics, his influence on public questions was by no means inconsiderable: in short, he was one of those men who make a distinct impression on the history of the day. I was pleased to know that his old age was spent in quiet retirement, free from the cares and anxieties of life; that a useful career was crowned by a happy and contented end. A Friend.

This was indeed appalling news to his friends as they awoke on Monday morning, Jan.9,1905; and when we say, his friends, that includes every citizen of St.Francis County who has ever come in contact with him. He had not an enemy. Even political opponents were his personal friends, and their is scarely a family in the county to some member of which he has not done some personal favor or kindness. He was universally esteemed. He was Mason in the true sense, and not in name only, and this is as great a compliment as we can pay our deceased brother. John David McKnight was born near Somerville, Tenn., Mar.12,1842, where he resided until 1871, when he came to Arkansas, locating near Wittsburg, where he had charge of a large plantation for one year. He then removed to Forrest City and resided here three years, going hence to New Castle where he lived until eight years ago, when he returned here to Forrest City until his death.

He enlisted in the 13th Tennessee Regiment in 1861, and served faithfully throughout the war, participating in the battles of Belmont, Shiloh, Perryville, Richmond, Murphreesboro, all engagements between Sherman and Joseph E.Johnson from Murhreesboro to Jonesboro, including the battle of Mission Ridge, above the clouds, Franklin, Tenn., and many others of less importance.
