"Pour libation for your father and mother who rest in the valley of the departed. God will witness your action and accept it. Do not forget this even when you are away from home. For as you do for your parents, your children will do likewise for you." ~~ Egyptian Book of Coming Forth by Day

Charley Stinnett

1900 Census, Union Township (Yellville), Arkansas

When I first started researching my Stinnett cousins I found two families of them in living near my grandfather's family in Yellville, Arkansas. Charley was recorded in the 1900 Federal Census as the oldest son of Thomas and Lettie [Coker] Stinnett.

Though I'd had pretty good luck tracking other individuals in this family through the years I wasn't able to find anything on Charley until I happened across this article about race riots in Harrison, Arkansas during an internet search. I found Charley, though not in the way I had hoped. I think I also may have found the reason that five families I was researching left the area between 1900 and 1910.
