AR Cato, cont.:
[Note! ALL the caucasion White Co., Ark. CATO families are my direct
(Needham - or whoever(!)) line. We have found - get this - a large box
of info from my favorite great aunt, Arlee CATO-GUIER, who died recently
at almost 100 years old, which includes my great-grandparents box of
pictures & old letters & misc. papers!!!! I am planning another trip up
there in the near future to photocopy it all & make duplicates of all
the old pictures. Most of the written info is from 1918 & afterwards &
the pictures are from around 1880 to more current. I looked through the
box late Sunday for the first time, but of course everything was closed
so I couldn't photocopy it then & had to leave that night, leaving the
box in the custody of my aunt - dang it! Anyone else in the Amos Cato
m. Mary Stracener line, let me know & we'll work out a way for you to
get copies also.]

of White Co. whom I certify to be creditable persons & worthy of
confidence, who being duly sworn, state that they are each, personally,
well acquainted with applicant A. Cato and have known him 45 years,
respectively. [Note from Bonnie: This would mean they had known him

the Ark. Cararaty?. That as a soldier he served from July 1864 to
December '64. That he was honorably released from such service, and did
not desert the same. That she is now and has been for the past 12
months a bona fide resident of Ark. That he is incapacitated for manual
