Have some little tidbits that may help someone. Was in hurry and didn't get down what I took them out of. All were books of Williamson Co though, historical society had done.
We have D.R. Harrison to thank for the following: At a meeting of the county Sunday School Executive committee, the following wer appointed as Executive Committees for the precincts, to assist the Vice President in more fully organinzing the precincts and carrying on Sunday School work: Southern A.J. Chitty.
The father and mother of ELDORADO R. MARTIN, 19, of Southern Township, are dead. B.F.CHITTY was appointed guardian and the made his home with him. In July, he went to Keokuk, Iowa to enter Mercantile College and wrote several letters, each time asking for more money. CHITTY wrote a letter to the college and learned he was selling papers and "knick-knacks" on one of the numerous railroads leading out of the city. CHITTY then received a letter from Aplin, Arkansas, signed Mrs. E.R. MARTIN. She said she was Eldorado's lawful wife, 21 years of age and demanded settlement of the property held in trust.An investigation revealed she was formerly Miss LIZZIE MORE and lived near Carbondale and that she was poor. Her mother is supported by one of the churches in Carbondale. In August, Eldorado wrote and asked her to join him. Mr. CHITTY will not pay until he becomes of age or another guardian is appointed.
