Brockwell – The Izard County Historical Society will meet on Sunday, April 9, 2017, at the Izard County Senior Center south of Brockwell on Highway #9 at 2 p.m. The meeting is free, and the public is invited to attend. Refreshments will be served.
The guest speaker for the meeting will be Edward Harthorn. His presentation will feature the life of Reverend David Orr (1799-1849), one of the earliest preachers in Northeast Arkansas. Orr started nine different churches and founded the Spring River and Rocky Bayou Baptist Associations in the Ozarks east of the White River. Orr was also a schoolteacher and a member of the Arkansas Territorial Legislature. Edward Harthorn is a graduate assistant in history at Arkansas State University, where he is pursuing a master’s degree in global history. He is a native of Knoxville, Tennessee, and a resident of Walnut Ridge, where he attended Williams Baptist College. Harthorn was the recipient of the 2016 Northeast Arkansas Regional Archives Award given by the Arkansas Historical Association. Waylan Cooper, President of the society, stated, “The society is open to any person interested in the history of the county or who is doing research on families who lived in the area.” | |||
