Altus R. F. D.
By R. C. Sosebee
In the year of 1918, along about the month of June, a caravan of fourcovered wagons left Monday, Knox County, Texas. In these four wagonsthere were four families. Three of these families were on their wayto Arkansas. In one wagon was Mr. and Mrs. Bee Wyatt and their threechildren. As the wagon train, if you could call it that, passedthrough Okla., the Wyatt family stopped off. The other three familiesproceded on their way.
In one of these wagons was Arfastus Benevis Sosebee, his wife, Mable,and children, Bill, Aubrey, Buna, Katie, Leland, Garland and Dewitt.Another wagon contained Erastus Gustavus Sosebee, his wife Lantie Mae,children, Horace, Ollie, May, Sylvia, Oma, Vetus and Homer. The otherfamily was Servetus Ford Sosebee and his wife Alice. Now some ofthese namesmight sound like outlaws, but really they were pretty goodpeople, for these were my grandfather and his two brothers.
They arrived in Greenwood, Arkansas, in August of 1918. My father,Horace, registered for the draft there on Aug. 24, 1918. After a fewdays' stay there in Greenwood, where they had found some more Sosebees(cousins), they resumed their journey. They came to Scranton, crossedthe Arkansas river on a ferry boat at Morrisons Bluff, and settled inthe Jamestown area. My father recenlty had the opportunity of crossinthe new Arkansas river bridge at about the same site where he hadcrossed by ferry so many years earlier. He recalls that back in 1918the bottoms were full of corn. Not much farming in that area nowsince the dam has been built.
My father's family lived iin the Hartman area for some time where theypicked cotton. My gradfater also had another sister at Hartman. Mrs.John Johnson. My father remembers how "Uncle John" would get up at 2aa.m. every morning, go to Hartman, and meet the train in order to getthe paper. On this night, Nov 11 a.m. Uncle John came by to tell mygrandfather's family the good news about World War 1 being over.
The next year my father's family moved to the Tom Hurst farm north ofCoal Hill. Would you believe Tom Hurst was my wifes grandfather?Anyway the next year the Sosebees moved to the Whipporwill community.There my father met my mother, Miss Stella Hall, daughter of James E."Bud" and Louisa Hall. My mother was only 15 years old at the time,however my father began to curt her, and three years later, when shewas 18, they were married, Nov. 18, 1923, in the home where my fatherand mother now lives.
Yes, next Tuesday, Nov, 18, 1980, my father and mother will have their57th wedding anniversary. I wish to take this opportunity tocongratulate them and give them my love and best wishes. I'm sureglad one of those wagons didn't break down on their way from Texas toArkansas. If it had, I might not be here tonight to write thiscolumn.
I might add if I misspelled any of these names I'm sorry, also if Ileft anyone out of those wagons it is because it is a little hard toremember things which happened over 60 years ago, and I had to getthis information from my father as he remembered these happenings. Twoof these families had other children which were born after theyarrived in Arkansas.
