In the News ~ Tom Crawford
HOPE STAR
Dec 5 1930
Spends Three Days in the Swamps Without Food
FOREMAN—Tom Crawford, farmer of the Allene community nine miles east of this place (Foreman) , was lost in the woods, known as Gum Flats, from an early hour Friday morning until late Sunday afternoon.
Crawford left his home and family Friday morning for the purpose of looking for his horses which had strayed, he thought, into the bottom country between Allene and Foreman.
When he failed to return Friday night searching parties were organized. The hunt for the man was kept up all of Saturday and the greater part of the day Sunday, or until he was reported to have been found.
Crawford stated to parties here Sunday night that he had been lost the entire time. While the gum flats are only a few miles in width, they extend north for several miles, and Crawford thinks he must have wandered up and down the swamp lands, several times, after he had lost his bearings in the dense woods.
According to Crawford, he had been without anything to eat from the time he left home until he emerged from the woods near Foreman late Sunday afternoon and came here for something to eat.
Crawford and his brother, Price, had lived together in a home near Allene. The house and practically all the contents were destroyed in a fire a few days ago. The horses for which Mr Crawford was in search had been turned from the lot at the time of the fire and had strayed from the place.

Thomas Tisdale Carrington Anderson
T. T. C. Anderson, Great Educator, Killed by Train
Funeral Services to Be held at 2:30 Today (May 25, 1939)
at Ashdown
The life of Little River county’s sole surviving Confederate
veteran was snuffed out Wednesday morning when T. T. C. Anderson, beloved
94-year-old- Southwest Arkansas educator, stepped in front of a southbound
Kansas City Southern passenger train in here and was killed instantly.
Mr. Anderson’s eyesight had been poor for several years. Wednesday he
followed his regular routine in walking to the post office for his mail. Witnesses
said he evidently failed to see the approaching train as he stepped on the
crossing.
The pioneer celebrated his 94th birthday on May 10 with a reunion of his family
and his many friends and former pupils of this area. He was in good health, with
the exception of his eyesight.
The accident Wednesday pulled the curtain down on an eventful life that included
service in the Confederate army, imprisonment by Union forces, confinement to a
hospital with others in such a way that he became one of the area’s best known
and best loved citizens, well remembered by his host of students.
Mr. Anderson cast his lot with the Confederate army when he was 17 years old
and served the duration of the war. Eleven months of the time was spent in a
hospital as a prisoner, receiving treatment for wounds.
He was released on March 12, 1865, and walked to his home in Clarksville,
arriving seven days after the peach of Appomattox and two days after President
Lincoln was assassinated.
When he got home, he found there was a need of teachers. He took that
profession, but only as a means toward his cherished end of becoming a
physician. Historic Rondo in Miller county was his first assignment and there he
began a teaching career that lasted 54 years.
On June of 1868, he was married to Miss Mary Ellen Hudgins. He then turned
his entire attention toward school teaching. He was employed in Miller County
four different times for a total of nine years, taught five years in Bowie County,
Texas, one year in Red River county, Texas, three years in Sevier County,
Arkansas, two years in Hempstead County, Arkansas, and 35 years in Little River
County.
During this time he taught ___ consecutive months for 13 years. He first came to
Richmond in Little River county in 1882. Shortly after the Little River County
school system was developed. He served for about 10 years as school examiner
of the county and ended his active career at Ashdown high school in 1934.
He taught four generations of the same family of many South Arkansas residents
and several thousand pupils received instruction under him. Many important
persons are included in the list of those he taught, including Dr. Edward Mims,
professor of history at Vanderbilt University, and Judge Will Kirby, former United
States senator.
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were the parents of 11 children, six of whom are
surviving. These are four daughters, Mrs. C. P. Smith and Mrs. A. T. Hemphill,
both of Ashdown; Mrs. Ha? Norwood of Mena, and Mrs. Wade Ball of Texarkana;
two sons, T. D. Anderson of Texarkana and Dick Anderson of Beaumont, Texas.
Other survivors include several nieces, nephews and grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.m., Thursday at the Ashdown Methodist
church. The pastor, the Rev. W. R. Boyd, will officiate, assisted by the Rev.
Ralph W. Davis of the Ashdown Baptist church, and the Rev. S. N. Brewer of
Horatio, Ark. Burial will be in the Ashdown cemetery, with members of the
Ashdown Masonic Lodge having charge of the services at the grave.
Active pallbears will include. Homer Welch, Dr. P. H. Phillips, Horace Routen,
Arnold Edmondson, J. G. Sanderson, Jr., and Bob Pierce, Burton Walker and
Albert Hinton.
Honorary pallbearers will include former pupils and friends of Mr. Anderson.
A tradition started soon after the organization of a United Confederate Veterans
camp at Clarksville, Texas will call for burial with Mr. Anderson of a Confederate
flag made by Mrs. Belle Gordon Morrison of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy. When any Confederate veteran died near Clarksville, the flag was
used to drape his coffin. On burial the flag was removed and preserved for other
funerals.
Professor Anderson was the last of the 500 veterans who joined the camp and as
such, the flag will be buried with him.
Albert Pike Chapter of UDC of Texarkana Officiated
At Funeral of T. T. C. Anderson
The Albert Pike Chapter U. D. C. of Texarkana officiated at funeral services of
Mr. T. C. C. Anderson and read the Confederate Ritual as had been requested.
Mrs. J. H. Head of Texarkana, a former student, read the ritual and a wreath was
placed on the casket by Mrs. W. E. Vinson, President of the Texarkana Chapter.
There were about 30 members of the U. D. C. Chapter present and each placed
a red rose on the bier.
The flowers were beautifully arranged in the church and a large number of
friends and relatives from Texarkana attended the service.

Ogden, Arkansas
Little River News
January 31, 1934
OGDEN ESTABLISHED IN 1878, DERIVES ITS NAME FROM THE WIFE OF
JUDGE W.M. BATES
By Mrs. I.N. Hutt, Ogden
Early records show that in 1838, Mr. Nunneley and family lived on the present site of Ogden. He
owned many acres of land that were farmed by his slaves. He and his wife died and were buried here
on a hillside near what is called Hopson’s Spring. Mr. and Mrs. Nunneley are the grand parents of Mrs.
C.H. Park of Ashdown. Other settlers were the Paul Bagley’s and the Christopher Waddell’s.
In 1878 Judge M.W. Bates came and gave the place the maiden name of his second wife, who was an
Ogden. He owned the first cotton gin, saw mill and store. He also helped to build the first railroad,
known as P & G (Pittsburg and Gulf) and gave the lot for the depot. His son in law, Dr. Bright, was the
first physician and was followed by Dr. Allen Bellar of Ashdown. Miss Gabrielle Avondeigner taught
the first school in an old Methodist church having seven pupils. They were Paul Hamilton Phillips,
Carrie Phillips (Mrs. Jim Sanderson, Sr.), Sam and Lizzie Bates, Mae and Matt Nichols, and Lottie
Crouch.
School lasted a full nine months and the salary was ----- per month. Other residents here at the time
were the W.S. Crouch’s, W.J. McDowell’s, Paul Hamilton’s (grand parents of Dr. P.H. Phillips and
Mrs. Jim Sanderson, Sr.), Mrs. Weaver and grandchildren, Matt Frank’s, Ollie and May Nichols.
Rev. Ed Steele of Richmond circuit was the first pastor. The first telephone was in the residence of W.S.
Crouch.
Along about 1900, others came. Some of these were Polk Hean and family, and J.D. Budd, the latter
starting a boom in Ogden. He, with his business partner, G.E. Hymer, interested men from various
states in the timber and farming business, are making Ogden one of the most thriving towns of its size
in the southwest. Lewis Wheelis of Ashdown followed Miss Avondeigner here a teacher and Dr. I.N.
Hutt of Fouke, came in 1903 as a young physician and has practiced here ever since.
Remaining residents here of 30 years ago are Mrs. W.S. Crouch and daughters, Mrs. Addie McDowell
and Mrs. Sadie Duncan, Mrs. W.J. McDowell, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Budd, Oscar Taylor, Charles M.
Welch, Mr. and Mrs. T.F. Ball and daughters, Mrs. Grace Furlow and Mrs. Stella Wardell, Mrs. Elma
Wood Gill, Mrs. Lilly Adcock, Mrs. Vesta Furlow and J.G. Smithson.

Bound by the Rivers
Little River County is almost an island unto itself. Bounded to the north, south, and east by the Little River and the Red River, ferries became a way of life for most of the early settlers.
Steamboats brought supplies, luxuries such as whiskey and flour, and people in and out of the county. But if you wanted to go into Sevier County to the North, Hempstead County to the east, or Miller County to the south, most likely you had to get on a ferry to do it.
In the early to mid 1800’s there were over twenty ferries in operation.
These ferries were located at major road crossings over the county line.
From Sevier County Court Records:
This day the following named persons were granted Ferry privileges at their several Ferries as follows to wit;

Little River News
October 11-1955
Bullet Kills Prosecutor
ASHDOWN, Ark.
Prosecutor Richard Coker Thomas, 40, was shot to death in front of the little River County jail here last night, and a former mental patient whom Thomas was sending to jail was arrested on an open charge.
Sheriff Aubrey Thrash said a murder charge would be filed against 67 year old John Spencer Furlow, who lived alone on a small farm three miles outside this small southwest Arkansas town. Thomas was shot in the heart with a .22-ca!iber revolver. Thrash said Furlow fired two other shots into a group of men standing nearby, but no one else was injured. The sheriff said Furlow was committed to the state hospital for the mentally ill at Little Rock from 1936 to 1940.
Thomas had ordered Furlow jailed on grounds that he had threatened several townspeople with a shotgun. The sheriff said that when he took Furlow's arm to lead him to jail, Furlow drew a pistol and fired at the prosecutor.
