MILLER COUNTY OFFICIALS
Arkansas side of Texarkana
|
|
Information below came from A History of
Texarkana and Bowie & Miller Counties Texas--Arkansas by
Barbara Overton Chandler & J. Ed Howe. 1939 Texarkana,
Texas-Arkansas.
This book can be found at the Texarkana
Library.
In my research I have found myself referring back
to this book for help in locating more information and I thought
it should be on line so all could benefit from the hard work these
two put in working on this book. Typed up for site by Tresa
Dickey Underwood.
Anything added will have * beside it. Or
if it is after 1939 it will be from research done or submitted
information.
Also added is information send in by Betty Sharp
from information from a book HISTORICAL REPORT of the
SECRETARY of STATE, 1958, Published by, C. G. Hall Secretary of
State, Editor-in-Chief, C. Armitage Harper, Associate Editors, D.
D. Glover, Jr., Larry Curry, Printed and Bound in Arkansas, U. S.
A. 1958
Sometimes conflicting information comes from different sources. I am not to say which is right and which is wrong, I just want to report the info found and submitted. |
