John Boggs of White County, Arkansas

td I am in the Houston area now, but make frequent trip back home to see the parents. I know (should say dad knows) a few people who live scattered out along 16 on the way from Searcy to Heber Springs. Next time I am home I am going to see if any are close to this location and if they have ever heard anything. I am pretty sure one of them who now lives in his dads house lives just a mile or so from the 305/16 intersection. I have been to his house a few times.

Thanks for the tips!! With the way work is going I will be luck to make it back home before Christmas!! I picked up this hobby (habbit) this year because they were supposed to be limiting overtime very strickly this year. But so far it ain't lookin good for the rest of the year. If there was something there as publicized as this is I have my doughts on if would still be there, but if it is I dought it is going any where any time soon.
Well I am in Arkansas on other business, but I am going to try to get some pictures of where I set the waypoint today. I will post what I get.
I am here in Arkansas on other business, but I am going to try to take some pics of where I have pinpointed the Boggs' place to be. I only have a very limited amount of time and it's Sunday so I won't be visiting the courthouse this trip. I will post what ever I find. Wish me luck.

It will have to be a trip to the court house to find the old home site. I have a pretty good idea from looking at aerial photography (It comes in handy to know the guy who photographed the entire state all my life or at least until I graduated from high school) from the '70s up where there was a cedar patch with an old structure near, but there have been a least two new homes built in the area since the story was written. I had about ten minutes to drive the road. I did not stop to take any pictures and there were really very few cedars in the area now. Nothing really to take pics of except the progress that has went on since the article was written. I will be going back in November and I am going to try to plan some extra time into the trip to do a little research.
So I have been search old land records. I have a better idea of where the old house was. I am pretty sure there is a new house sitting where it once was. From the old photos I have found at this time I don't believe the old garden to be covered up. I guess I will be knocking on their door before to long to see about permission to hunt.

I am not sure where the family cemetery is. I have drawn the original plat on an aerial photo. I thought I posted it on here.
