The article is about the Rankin Family Home. It was originaly published in The Gastonia Gazette - Gastonia, NC, May 

1955 by Mrs. Kay Dixon: (Mary E. Moore, wife of Oliver Wiley Holland, was a niece to Mary Moore, the wife of 

William Rankin, son of Samuel. Issac Holland Jr. married Mary C. Rankin, daughter of William.) 

"Samuel Rankin and wife, Ellen Alexander, were pioneers who settled in this area in 1765, and obtained a grant to a 

large tract of land, the majority of which is still in the possession of the Rankin family. 

Samuel built a house in 1765 on a hill overlooking the 300 acres that he was later to deed to his son William (born 

1760 - died 1853, age 93 years). 

When a boy of 17 William joined the military company of his uncle, Captain Robert Alexander; he saw service in the 

Cherokee uprising, in the battles of Cowpens and Eutaw Springs. When he was 27 years old he married Mary Moore 

Campbell, sister of General John Moore. They settled on land Samuel Rankin gave them and built a small log house 

with a tremendous eight-foot fireplace. Here they lived until the finer, larger house in front of it was completed in 

1800. 

"The first cabin then was used for a kitchen; unfortunately this interesting old building has been torn down, and many 

tools, looms, farm implements of by-gone days have been lost. The charming old house, of logs covered with siding, 

has small rooms, quaint old mantles, and an inclosed (sic) stairway. 

"The house is a veritable store house of valuable and interesting articles, among which are straight chair that William 

Rankin used, cupboards with some of the original china in them; spool beds, old trunks, and tables, the old Bisanar 

clock with weights that rest in a sand box, a fine old secretary with secret drawers. The furniture was said to have been 


made by Isaac Holland."

Notes for ROBERT RANKIN: 

Much of what is known of Robert Rankin, a resident of Tryon and Rutherford counties in North Carolina and 

Pendleton District, South Carolina prior to moving west, is due to the efforts of Francis C. Gill. Francis lives in South 

Jordan, Utah. In late 1994, he published an 800 page book containing information on many families from which he is 

descended. One of those is the family of Robert Rankin of Rutherford County. 


According to Francis, Robert Rankin was born about 1749. A Lincoln County, NC marriage bond dated 7 Nov 1769 

indicates that Robert Rankin married Mary Witherow . The bond was witnessed by James Witherow. Mary was born 

about 1750 in North Carolina, a daughter of John and Mary Witherow of Rutherford County. 

While living in that part of Tryon County which became Rutherford County in 1779, Robert and Mary owned land on 

Hunting Creek, Little Camp Creek and Cane Creek all of which are branches of the Second Broad River. Robert also 

served as a chain carrier in 1770 for Alexander McGaughey for a land purchase on Cathey's Creek. By 1775, he was 

serving as a Captain in the Tryon County Militia commanded by William Graham. His company had the duty at the 

Montford Cove Fort to protect settlers from Indians and Tories. The land and court records of Rutherford County 

contain many entries concerning Robert during the 1780s and even into the 1790s. 

Shortly before the battle of Guilford County, NC Courthouse in 1781, General Cornwallis camped for several days on 

the Rankin farm. A hollowed out rock near the Buffalo Creek and on the boundary line between the farms of these two 

brothers has been repeatedly pointed out by the old people as the trough in which Cornwallis fed his horse. The Rankin 

brothers were staunch Whigs and had to hide out while Cornwallis was there. The General's soldiers plundered the 

homes and farms of both brothers, and carried off all the grain, cattle , sheeps, hogs and fowls (except one old setting 

hen) from both plantations. We are pretty certain that these two brothers joined their neighbors in the battle at Guilford 

Court House a few days later. Dr. Eli W. Caruthers .;bears us out in this, for he says in his "Life of Dr. David 

Caldwell," page 232, that "All men in both these congregations (Buffalo and Alamance) who were fit for duty were 

either in the battle of employed in some other way under the direction of General Greene." Dr. Caruthers became the 

pastor of Buffalo and Alamance churches in 1821, just forty years after that battle. He took great interest in things 

historical, and write two of three volumes. He knew personally many of the men who took part in that battle and got 

his information first hand. He states in his history that he went over the battlefield with Robert Rankin who was in the 

battle, and Mr. Rankin pointed out to him the positions of both armies, and the tree by he himself stood while firing at 

the enemy. Furthermore tradition says that John and William Rankin were in that battle. Tradition in our family is 

direct. I was fifty-six years old when my father died, and he lived with my grandfather thirty-six years, and my 

grandfather lived with my great grandfather, John Rankin, (1736?1814) for thirty-four years; so these traditions have 

come only three steps, and through sons who lived with their fathers. They may have been with their neighbors in 

other battles. It is a pity that no roster of the Guilford soldiers in the Revolutionary War has been preserved. 

It is thought that Robert and Mary divorced between 1781 and 1787. 

By 1788, Robert had remarried and moved to Pendleton District, South Carolina where he lived on Big Reedy Branch. 

Many of his neighbors were from North Carolina. Among them were Caleb Edminsten, Nicholas Welch, Jesse and 

Joel Wood, Hugh Deveney, Andrew Tate, John Tuggle, Shadrack Chitwood and Alexander Orr. 

Samuel Rankin, father of Robert Rankin deeded land to Robert on Stanley's Creek in January 1798. On March 31, 

1800, Thomas Davidson deeded land in Lincoln County to Robert. 

Robert married again to Leah before 1790. Four children were born to Robert and Leah between 1790 and 1795. 

It is highly likely that Robert Rankin married in Lincoln County, NC on December 15, 1800 to Sarah McCallister. 

Robert purchased 200 acres of land in Lincoln County from his brother, William on April 16, 1801. This dded was 

witnessed by Samuel and Richard Rankin. 

Robert remained in Pendleton District until about 1804. Robert sold that same 200 acres to his brother, James. This 

deed was proved by his brother, William, and is the last record found concerning Rober Rankin in Lincoln County, 

NC. Robert migrated to the Kentucky frontier with other families, including the Orrs. They made their new home in 

Livingston County (later Caldwell County), Kentucky. While in Kentucky, Robert had close association with the 

Laughlin, Orr and Perkins families. 

The 1810 census shows Robert living in Rutherford County, TN. The Court Minutes of Rutherford County, TN show 


a Robert Rankin as living in that area as of January 1810. 

The 1820 census of Rutherford County where his brother David lived (also Samuel Rankin Jr. in that year) list Robert 

Rankin. This census indicates that Robert ws born prior to 1775. In his 1820 household are two sons, one between the 

ages of 16 and 18 years, the other between the ages of 18 and 26 years, and four daughters, two less that 10 years of 

age and two between the ages of 10 and 16 years. There is also on female between the ages of 18 and 26 years, who 

may be his daughter or a younger wife. If this female is his wife, Sarah McCallister Rankin had died. This wife may 

be Nellie Jenkins. Robert Rankin does not appear in further census records of Rutherford County, TN 

Mary Witherow Rankin was mentioned in her father's will of 1795 filed in Rutherford County, NC. According to the 

Rutherford County land records of 1800, she sold the lands bequeathed to her by her father. It is not known 

conclusively what became of Mary. However, she is thought to be the Mary Rankin mentioned in the 1820 census of 

Hickman County, Tennessee living near her grandson, Moses Rankin. 

Robert's second wife, Leah, died sometime after 1830 in Kentucky.

17. WILLIAM5 RANKIN (SAMUEL4, ROBERT3, WILLIAM2, ALEXANDER1) was born January 1761 in Rowan 

County, North Carolina, and died December 09, 1853. He married MARY MOORE April 15, 1791 in Lincoln County, 

NC, daughter of EDWARD MOORE and ELIZABETH WRIGHT. She was born April 10, 1762 in Lincoln County, 

NC, and died February 04, 1849 in Gaston County, NC. 

Notes for WILLIAM RANKIN: 

The Family of 

William Rankin and 

Mary Campbell nee' Moore 

Mary Moore, married first, Thomas Campbell. 

Second she married Wm. Rankin. They had many descendants, among which were Rev. Frank Rankin of Mount 

Holly, Dr. W.M. Moore, president of Union Theological Seminary, an uncle of Walter Moore (who lived in Gastonia; 

died a few years ago). 

The very large Rankin family of Gaston County has its origin from Wm. Rankin. This old house has been in constant 

use by the Moore family since it was built. There is some uncertainty about what date this home was built. The family 

that lives here now says that 1765 is about the right date. Others say that John's son Alexander, built it just after the 

Revolution in 1780. This very old home is 1/6 mile off the Mauney Road, two miles off Route 371, and one and a half 

mile off of Stanley-Dallas Road." 


William Rankin was the eldest son of Samuel Rankin and Ellen Alexander . According to his Revolutionary War 

Pension application, he was taken from Rowan County "to Tryon now Lincoln when five or six years old" and so we 

may infer that he was born in Rowan County, NC. Various sources have cited 10 April 1761 as his date of birth but his 

pension application is clear on this matter: 

"On this 30th day of April 1833 personally appears in open court (Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions) of the County 

of Lincoln now sitting, William Rankin a resident of said County and State of North Carolina age seventy two years 

last January..." 

William Rankin was born January 1761. He married in Lincoln County on 15 April 1791 to Mary Campbell nee' 

Moore born 10 April 1762 the sister of General John Moore and daughter of John Moore, Sr. of Lincoln County, NC. 

Mary's first husband was Thomas Campbell. 

"After the death of her first husband, Thomas Campbell, she became the wife of William Rankin who also fought in 

the battle of King's Mountain. From the accounts given of her by her descendants, she seems to have been a brave 

woman and of character and intelligence." 

According to a letter located in the DAR Library, its author, Arthur L. Rankin of Murfreesboro, Tennessee .; indicates 

that Tom and Mary had three children, Jane (Jenny) , Joseph and Anne. He further indicates that Anne went on to 

marry William's younger brother, David .; who later moved to Tennessee. It is also known that Jane Campbell, who 

was born about 1789, married on 1 Nov 1809 to Hugh Jenkins and that both she and Hugh remained in Lincoln 

County. Their daughter, Salena Kirkpatrick Jenkins , married John D. Rankin. of Lincoln County. 

From the DAR Patriot Index, his pension application and the material presented above, we can determine the following 

concerning William Rankin's activities in the Revolutionary War. In 1777, he volunteered as a militiaman in the 

company of Capt. Robert Alexander in Tryon County, NC and served three months in an expedition against the 

Cherokee Indians in Rutherford County, NC. 

In 1779, he again volunteered under Capt. Robert Alexander and served three months and fourteen days in the relief of 

Charleston under Gen. Lincoln. In April or May, 1780 he enlisted under Maj. Joseph Dickson and Gen. Rutherford to 

fight in the Battle of Camden, SC and the Battle of Ramsour's Mill versus Col. Floyd, a Tory on 16 Aug 1780. 

Immediately after, he enlisted and served as substitute for Henry E. Locke .; of Lincoln, said tour lasting three months 

under Capt. William Armstrong and adjoining Gen. Rutherford's army to engage the army of Gen. Gates. The ensuing 

battle saw the defeat of Gen. Gates. While the British were stationed at Charlotte, William served one month under 

Maj. Dickson (later to marry his sister, Eleanor Rankin ) and Capt. Peter Forney. 

He also served three different times in Lincoln and Rowan Counties against the Tories and British fighting at the Battle 

of King's Mountain. In 1781, he volunteered and served three months under Capt. James Little and Col. Malbody, a 

French officer, during which tour he was involved in the Battle of Eutaw Springs. William Rankin ended his services 

as a guard of prisoners in Salisbury, NC where he was discharged by Col. Locke when the prisoners were marched to 

Virginia. William's wartime service was evidently highly respected by the state of North Carolina which, by 1797, had 

granted him some 2,100 acres in Lincoln County. 

Public minded and well-respected, he served as Sheriff of Lincoln County in the 1790s, and remained active in the 

politics of Lincoln County. 

William was active in land speculation from the early 1780s. On 12 Aug 1785, he claimed and was granted 52 acres in 

Lincoln County on the "waters of Stanleys Creek...bordering Thomas Rhyne, James Graham and Samuel Rankin." In 

1787, he was granted land by the State of North Carolin in Anson County, NC on Stanley Creek. On 6 Dec 1787, he 

received land in Lincoln County on Chanley's Creek from his father as he also did in 1788 according to an Anson 

county land deed. He and Joseph Rankin, whom we presume to be his brother, claimed 330 acres on the South Fork of 

the Catawba River (discontinued) and on 19 July 1794, William was granted 200 acres on the "waters of Dewharts 

Creek." On 2 Dec 1794, he was granted 300 acres on the "waters of Leepers Creek" and an additional 100 acres on the 


"waters of Long Creek." In 1795, he purchased 515 acres and another 220 acres in 1796. It has been estimated that 

William, by his combination of land grants and purchases, owned some 3,000 acres of land in Lincoln County, most of 

which is still in the possession of his descendents. 

Mary died on 4 Feb 1849 and was laid to rest in the Goshen Grove Cemetery. 

William joined her on 9 Dec 1853 and, by the time of his death at the age of 93, was the last Revolutionary War 

survivor in Gaston County. 

He left no will as all of his possessions had been deeded or given to his children with his youngest son, Col. Richard 

Rankin, retaining the lion's share of the homestead. 

He is said to be buried in the cemetary at Goshen Grove Church of which he was one of the founding members having 

deeded to the Church the property on which it was built. 

The four children of William and Mary Rankin: 

1. John Butch Rankin ? b. 1 Feb 1792 d. 12 Oct 1876 (further) 

2. Mary C. (Polly) Rankin . 'Holland'; . (Rankin); ? b. 14 Feb 1794 d. 9 June 1865 (further) 

3. Nancy Moore Rankin ? b. 1796 (further) 

4. Col. Richard Rankin ? b. 24 Sept 1804 d. 14 Sept 1899 (further) 

Several sources state that Eliza Rankin was a daughter of William and Mary Rankin of Lincoln/Gaston County and 

that she married Lawson H. Abernethy. A Lincoln County marriage bond does exist for a Lawson H. Abernethy .; and 

a Margaret Ermina Rankin who married on 22 Sept 1838. Lawson Abernethy (b. 1803) and his wife Margaret E. (b. 

1816), married about 1838 and are found living in the residence of William and Mary Rankin in 1850 Catawba 

County, which is just north of Lincoln county and which was formed in 1842 from Lincoln County. 

By 1850, our William was 89 years old and living with his son Richard in Gaston County, William's wife Mary having 

just died in 1849. 

It has been firmly established that the Margaret Eliza Rankin who married Lawson Abernethy is actually the daughter 

of William Rankin of Catawba County and his wife, Mary Lourance. Evidence of another Eliza Rankin in 

Lincoln/Gaston County has not been located and certainly not of one who married a Lawson Abernethy.

Notes for JAMES RANKIN: 

The Rankins of Rutherford County, North Carolina 

The Descendents of Robert Rankin of Rutherford County, NC 

and Pendleton District, SC 

James Rankin was born about 1772 in Tryon County, North Carolina, a son of Robert and Mary Witherow Rankin. He 

married about 1794 and though his wife?s name is unknown to us, she is thought to be a member of the Goforth 

family of Rutherford County, NC. 

James first appears in land records of Pendleton District, SC as a witness to a land transaction involving his father. On 

2 Oct 1799, James sold land in Rutherford County, NC on Little Camp Creek to John Welsh. This land was most 


likely given to him by his father. The transaction took place from Cumberland County, Kentucky (part of Cumberland 

County became Barren County, KY in 1800). James stayed in Barren County only five years living on Coles Creek 

near John Rankin, James Harlan, William York, David Job, Enoch Job, and Preston Goforth. About 1806, he left 

Kentucky to settle in Maury County, Tennessee near other settlers from the Rutherford County, NC area. He lived in 

Maury County on Bear Creek, a branch of the Duck River, near Thomas Stone, Peter Holland, Benjamin Herndon, 

William and Andrew H. Goforth.;, and James Job. James Rankin is found in many land and court records in Maury 

County serving on road crews, juries, as witness to deeds, probate sales and so forth. His last appearance in a census is 

in the 1840 census of Maury County?he died between 1840 and 1850. 

The following are James Rankin?s children: 

1. Moses Rankin ? born about 1795 in South Carolina. As indicated above, Moses lived in Hickman County, TN as of 

1820 

2. Polly Rankin ? born about 1797 in South Carolina. Polly married in Maury County, TN on 31 March 1816 to 

Bennett W. .;Moore, a veteran of the War of 1812

44. JOHN6 RANKIN (ROBERT5, SAMUEL4, ROBERT3, WILLIAM2, ALEXANDER1) was born January 21, 1775 

in Tryon County, NC, and died August 22, 1861 in Hamilton County, IL. He married SALLY ANN NELSON 

January 27, 1801 in Barren, Kentucky, USA, daughter of JOHN NELSON and BETHSHEBA HOGAN. She was born 

March 31, 1784 in Shenandoah, Virginia, and died May 07, 1841 in Hamiton County, IL. 

Notes for JOHN RANKIN: 

John is first found in the records of Pendleton District, South Carolina when he witnessed a land transaction on 12 Feb 

1790 involving his father, Robert. He also witnessed the will of Jesse Wood on 27 June 1796 in Pendleton District. By 

1799, John had migrated with his brother, James, to Barren County, Kentucky. It was there he met Sally Ann Nelson. 

He and Sally Ann lived on Coles Creek and Mill Creek in what is now know as Monroe County, KY. Their neighbors 

between 1801 and 1808 were William Cole, Josiah and Andrew H. .;Goforth, David and Jesse Job, James and David 

Rankin, William Preston, James and Elihu Harlan, Thomas Means, Arthur Hogan, Joseph Bailes, John Nelson and 


Joseph Gist. 

While in Barren County, they owned land on Line Creek, a branch of the Big Barren River. Their home was close to 

both the Cumberland County, KY line and the Tennessee state line. By 1810, their neighbors were James Holland, 

Thomas Means, John Nelson, Joseph Bailes and Arthur Hogan. Many of the families in this area had come to 

Kentucky from the Washington County, TN area with the Reverend John Mulkey who established the Mill Creek 

Baptist Church. Sarah Ann and her mother, Bathsheba, are on the original membership role of that congregation. 

John and Sally Ann may have lived in Tennessee for a few years around 1814 since they do not appear in the tax 

records of Barren County at that time. A John Rankin appears in the records of Maury County, TN in the appropriate 

timeframe. However, they were enumerated in the 1820 census of newly formed Monroe County, KY and remained in 

Monroe County through the 1820s when they migrated to Clark (later Coles) County, Illinois. By 1835, they had made 

their final move to Hamilton County, IL settling near the town of Thackeray. John and Sally Ann, along with the 

Nelson family (who also trace their lineage to North Carolina), have left a large posterity many of whom still live in 

Southern Illinois. John and Sally Ann's children 

Notes for SALLY ANN NELSON: 

According to the Job(e) Journal, Volume 3 (1980), Sally Ann Nelson was born 31 Mar 1784 in Shenandoah County, 

VA a daughter of John Nelson, Jr. and his wife, Bathsheba Hogan. She married in Barren County, KY on 27 Jan 1801 

to "John Rankin, Sr. of North Carolina." They lived in Hamilton County, IL where she died on 7 May 1849. The 

source given in the Job(e) Journal is a "Rankin bible." According to Francis C. Gill, John was born 21 Jan 1775 in 

Tryon County, NC a son of Robert and Mary Witherow Rankin and died in Hamilton County on 25 Aug 1861.

More About JOHN A. RANKIN: 


Notes for EXALINE W. ALBRIGHT: 

[Rankin.FTW] 

John A. Rankin is accounted a prosperous farmer, and like the majority of the native-born residents of this county he 

is progressive in his views and of an energetic temperament. He was born on March 5, 1844, to W. W. and F. 

(Davidson) Rankin, the former a native of Tennessee, and the latter of Virginia. They were married in the latter State, 

and became the parents of four sons and three daughters, of whom the following are living: John R., William H. (see 

biography), J. H., Sarah, Mary E. (wife of J. C. Keogle), and Martha and Alex (deceased). Mr. Rankin removed to 

Arkansas about 1830, and in Pope County, Ark., followed farming until his death, which occurred in 1874. He was a 

member of the Old School Presbyterian Church, was sheriff of the county when he first settled here, and was a soldier 

in the Mexican War. His wife died in 1881, a member of the same church as himself. John R. Rankin was brought up 

to a knowledge of farm life by his father, and this has been his chief calling up to the present time. He has a fine tract 

of farming land comprising 342 acres, of which 215 are in a good state of cultivation, and on this he erected in 1884 a 

large frame residence, and this handsome home, with its beautiful surroundings, makes a desirable place of abode. In 

1872 Miss Exaline Albright, a Tennesseean, born in 1852, became his wife, which marriage has resulted in the birth of 

seven children: Macey, Mary J., Lawrence, Lener, Mattie, Nora and Pearl. In 1862 Mr. Rankin enlisted in Company 

C, Arkansas Cavalry, serving as a private soldier in the Confederate Army until 1865. He is a member of the 

Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and his wife is a member of the Old School Presbyterian Church

Russellville, Pope County, Arkansas3. He married MAGGIE OATES3 1870 in Pope County, Arkansas3, daughter of 

FRANKLIN OATES. 

Notes for WILLIAM H. RANKIN: 

[Rankin.FTW] 


William H. Rankin purchased the following land: 

February 10, 1883 - 26 12N 30W 80 

February 10, 1883 - 26 12N 30W 0 

January 15, 18884 - 26 12N 30W 40 

W. H. Rankin, a prominent planter and a member of the firm of Rankin & Rodgers, livery-men at Russellville, was 

born three and a half miles west of Russellville, in 1846, and was the sixth of seven children born to the marriage of 

W. W. and F. (Davidson) Rankin, the father a native of Tennessee and the mother of Virginia. The grandparents on 

both sides were from Ireland, and the paternal grandfather was a pioneer of Tennessee. W. W. Rankin was a 

successful agriculturist, and was one of the earliest pioneers of Arkansas, having emigrated to that State in 1832. He 

located in Pope County, entered land near the mouth of Illinois Bayou, and carried on agricultural pursuits until about 

1850. Two years later he went to California, followed mining for three years and was quite successful. In 1855 he 

returned to Arkansas, and the following year returned to the Golden State with a herd of cattle. The same year he 

came back to Arkansas, and in 1857 made another trip to California, with cattle. Few people realize the hardships of 

these trips across the plains. Returning to Pope County, Mr. Rankin bought another farm near Russellville and there 

made his home until his death. At the out-break of the war he enlisted in Capt. Scott's company, and was in the battle 

of Pea Ridge or Elk Horn, where his horse was shot from under him, and falling, crippled him. He then came home, 

but after a time joined again, but was soon discharged on account of disability. He died on January 13, 1874, and the 

mother died on March 17, 1880. During the entire time of this worthy pioneer's life in Arkansas he was active in all 

worthy enterprises, and was a worthy Democrat, doing much for that party. He was elected the second sheriff of the 

county. He and wife were members of the Old School Presbyterian Church. On the mother's side two brothers came 

to Pope County, Ark.: Sam and Bob Davidson. The latter settled at and bought the Dwight Missionary Station, four 

miles west of town. There he was postmaster until 1852, and for a time that was the only post-office in the county. 

He died on the plains in 1852, while on his way to California. W. H. Rankin was reared in Pope County and had but 

limited educational advantages, growing up during the war, when schools were obliterated in that county. He began 

for himself when twenty-one years of age as a farmer on rented land, and followed this until 1874, when he bought a 

farm of 80 acres, bottom land, to which he has added and now owns 240 acres, with 53 acres in the uplands and 220 

acres under cultivation. This is one of the best farms in this section and all about the place indicates that the owner is a 

man of judgment and progressive spirit. In 1884 he moved to Russellville, where he has since erected a comfortable 

and commodious house. In 1887 he bought out the livery stable of the town, and has since been running the same. He 

is the owner of of twenty-five head of horses, and has suitable vehicles, etc., for the use of the public. He keeps a 

good barn and is doing an excellent business. By his marriage, which occurred in 1870, to Miss Maggie Oates, 

daughter of Franklin Oates, an old settler of this region, there were born seven in interesting children: Lillie, Nannie, 

Fannie, Ruth, Elbert Hill, Frank and Thomas. Mr. Rankin and family are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian 

Church. Mr. Rankin has shown his appreciation of secret organizations by becoming a member of the K. of P., No. 

44, and the K. of H.

Notes for SARAH FURLOW: 

Sarah, in her late years lived with John Furlow's family. She was very eccentric, clinging to her pioneer customs and 

dress in her late years. She told a story of a war experience. She stood on a truck of her valued possessions with a 

hatchet clutched firmly in her hands and dared the Bushwhackers who came to plunder her home, to take her truck. 

They left without it. Vesta Furlow still had this old truck at the time of the Furlow Family History. It contained letters, 

dresses and keepsakes of Civil War days of Sarah Paschel. 

The family cherished the memory of trips made by farm wagon up to Winfrey Valley to visit their aunt Sarah and her 

family, and the delicious meals she prepared for them. Much good food was raised and preserved for future use by 

sealing in stone jars with hot wax, and by drying and curing meats and fruits.

Notes for EDWARD LEE: 

Article -- Edward Lee -- His Ancestors and Descendents - 1822-1898; 

Edward Lee was the son of Henry and Lucy Furlow Lee -- one of a family of ten children of whom only one sister 

survived at the time he gave these statistics. 

Henry lee moved his family to Cherokee Nation in which is now Alabama in 1836. Lucy, Edward's mother, died in 

Alabama in 1838 and 

In 1843, Edward Lee married Sabra Anne Rankin in Alabama. Their seven children were born in Alabama. All reached 

Chester, Crawford County, ARkansas with their parents November 26, 1858, but Jesse Edward and he died in 

Alabama. 

Henry Lee, Edward Lee's father, joined his son's family in 1859 and remained with them until he died in 1862 during 

the Civil War. Several notes in the family record state that Edward Lee was a cousin of General R.E. Lee. 

The Lee family made their journey in a covered wagon reaching Chester, Crawford County, ARkansas. Their first son 

was 15 years old. 

Edward Lee later moved to Frisco - Laster Schaber and built two log houses across the creek from the main part of 

town. He cleared and farmed land there. After the railroad came, he built a house in the town and lived there until he 

died. (Edward Lee and Sabra moved to Chester November 26, 1858 -- noted from Frieda Loriene Friddle Kellie) 

Edward owned and operated a grocery store for some years. His partner in the store was a Mr. Marion Sailor who was 

a Southern sympathizer and the two had many argument. Edward Lee once owned a very large hunting dog named Cap 

and enjoyed hunting with this dog for many years. Charley Davis and his brother lived at the time of this article with 


their Neice, Mrs. Ora Smith, a daughter of the late John L. Smith and wife, remembered the Lee family as they lived 

near them as boys. Charley Davis was about 14 when Lee died in 1898. 

Some considered Edward Lee eccentric, but neighbors who remembered him said he had a sense of fairness and 

justice. The war years must have been very sad for him and his family. He lived his life in pioneer settlements where 

life was difficult at the best. Certainly he did much to settle the Chester area, so that it is now possible for us to have a 

safer and easier life. He owned 240 acres of land and cleared and farmed much of it for crops. After the railroad came, 

the town grew and much timber and fruit was shipped from there in car loads for many years. The changing times have 

caused all the inhabitants to move away. It is now a ghost town. 

Edward Lee a firm believer in the Union of all the States, Lee fought to preserve it. If it had been left to the people of 

Northwest Arkansas our state would have left the Union. This was decided by people in sympathy with the plantation 

owners, but northwest Arkansas people lost much and endured much during the War. Arkansas was the first state to 

return to the Union. 

In 1863, Edward Lee enlisted in Co. D, First Arkansas Infantry under Col Searle. He fought in Arkansas and Missouri. 

Some of his encounters were at Saline River and Prairie de Land. He lost the sight of an eye in service. In his later 

years, he received a pension of $24.00 a month for his service in the Union Army. During the war he had the sad 

experience of having his oldest son conscripted into the Confederate Army. This son, Martin never returned from the 

war and was believed to have died in the service. The other children grew up in Crawford County, married and reared 

large families. 

Edward Lee was a firm republican. He was a Mason and an Odd Fellow. He was a man of resolute will, strong 

convictions, independent ambitions and industrious. 

Mr. Charley Davis tells an incident of his childhood about a mule owned by Edward Lee. The mule would jump over 

the rail fences into Mr. Davis corn field. One day, Edward Lee saw his mule ere. He went to his home, got his gun, 

loaded it with buck shot and stung the mule with a blast from the gun. The mule jumped out of the corn patch and 

never returned. 

It is amazing to note the number of young men of this family who have had military service. In this generation, two 

families from which five boys served in the armed forces. One was Thomas F. Simco's boys and a sixth volunteered 

but failed to pass his physical. Another family was Nelson B. Harrison and Myrtle Osburn.

THOMAS JEFFERSON RANKIN 

HIS LIFE HISTORY AND CIVIL WAR MEMORIES 

BY MRS. W.R. RASTALL - Chester, Crawford County, ARKANSAS 

- 

Thomas Jefferson Rankin was born on the farm joining ours to the west on January 15, 1856. The farm was owned by 

his grandfather, Thomas Shepherd. 

- 

I have no record of any land transaction at this early date. The first transaction record in the abstract is the one to R.F. 

Sims on November 30, 1881, by the Little Rock and Fort Smith R.R. Co. Sims sold the place to Ensminger in 1885. 

He sold to W.B. Jones. He sold to John T. Sharrai and wife, Harriet A. It is now called the Sharrai place. It is the NE 

one-fourth and NW one-fourth (80A) T. 12-S, -33-R. 30W. So this land has been occupied and farmed for well over a 

century. 

- 

T.J. Rank died at Chester in 1949. He was then our oldest citizen, and known to all as Uncle Tom. He was 93 years 

old. 

- 

His daughter, Grace May Valliquette, who was living with her son, John, (who married Jennie Fricks) has the very old 

family Bible. It is not known who has the family copy of NORTHWEST HISTORY OF ARKANSAS. While I visited 

Grace May Rankin (Valliquette), I copied the following from the old Bible to use in this article. The writing was so 

neat but dim with age. 

- 

Henderson Clark Rankin was born April 1st, 1822 in Murry County, TN. His wife, Elizabeth Shepherd was born 1826. 

They married in 1855. Their first child, Thomas Jefferson Rankin, was born January 15, 1856; 2-J.N. Rankin born 

April 1861; 3-Eliza Rankin born April 10, 1863; 4-William E. born October 23, 1867; 5-Ezra E. Rankin born July 6, 

1868; 6-Robert, born April 9, 1870 (Rankin); 7-Emma Rankin, born April 17, 1872.

Ellen Strong, born June 6, 1856, in Mercer County, MO on February 17, 1876, at 2:00 P.M., by Rev. Henry Harvey. 

- 

Their children are: 1-Carl R. Rankin, born February 9, 1877, married Miss Huckleberry, February 14, 1899; 2-George 

Kingston, born November 22, 1879, married Mary Simpson, May 24, 1900. (note: They celebrated their 60th wedding 


anniversary this year with many relatives and friends. He died September 3, 1960.) 3-Grace May, born July 9, 1882, 

married Joseph Valliquette, August 14, 1904; 4-Laura, born May 24, 1884, married Robert L. Duggin, June 1, 1902; 5- 

William Ernest, born August 24, 1886, married Daisy Collins' of Crawford County; 6-Sarah Ellen, born September 26, 

1888, married Bert Friddle, April 1, 1908 in Crawford County; 7-Luther Francis, born March 5, 1891, married Kate 

Wilson, 1919; 8-Walter Scott, born January 29, 1893, married Linnie Wilson, and later a widow, Elsa Carrol, who is 

the mother of his daughter, Juanita (London). 

- 

Grandchildren listed is this Bible is: Verna Rankin (Carl's daughter) born January 1, 1900; Goldie Duggin, born June 

3, 1903 (Laura's daughter); Ward Rankin, born July 26, 1908; Harshel Rankin, born April 21, 1904 (George's son): 

Lester Duggin born November 17, 1904 (Laura's son); John Valliquette, born June 2, 1905 (Grace's son); Lucy Rankin, 

born June 30, 1905 (George's daughter). 

- 

Thomas Jefferson Rankin was past five years old and likely playing in a spring branch which still runs past this old 

home of well over a century when hostilities started with the firing on Fort Sumpter on April 12, 1861, when Major 

Anderson was forced to surrender. Charleston Harbor is a long way from Arkansas but the war caused much suffering 

here when at last it was brought to Crawford County. Many have read of this so I will record only the incidents as told 

by "Uncle Tom" and his children. I am acquainted with all the family as most of them have lived here a part of their 

lives. Carl has been dear for some years. He remembered more than the others as he was elder. 

- 

Uncle Tom remembered when his father, Henderson C., jointed the Confederate forces, and that he fought under Gen. 

Price at the Battle of Pea Ridge and had been a scout for Gen. Price as he knew the mountains so well in the area. He 

was taken a prisoner at the Battle of Pea Ridge in December 1862. He had been a Union sympathizer in some of the 

war issues. There were no Negro farm workers in the mountains. Nearly all the farmers did their own work and wished 

to see Arkansas stay in the Union. Compelled by relentless conscription laws, those of opposite sentiments often 

fought side by side, under the same flag. The next year after his capture, Henderson C. joined the Union army. I have 

his records from the Arkansas History Commission, Department of Achievers and History. The record follows: 

UNION SOLDIERS WHO ENLISTED IN ARKANSAS - #55620-Henderson C. Rankin. Enlisted October 10, 1863. 

Appointed Corporal January 26, 1864. Mustered out with Regiment of Arkansas Cavalry Volunteers, August 20, 1865. 

Served under Col. John E. Phelps in 2nd Regiment of Arkansas Calvary Volunteers. 

- 

Henderson C. Rankin's family, along with many Crawford County people, suffered much from the fortunes of war. 

Marauders, stragglers, bands know as bushwhackers and home guards all robbed and pillaged, it seems. Mr. Thomas 

Shepherd decided to send his daughter, and her children, with two of his sons Tom and Silas, with a group of 

mountain people who were going to Clarksville at that time for safety. Henderson's wife was expecting another child at 

the time. While they were at Clarksville, their tow little girls died of a malady contracted there and were buried near 

Clarksville. Later, these people feared that Gen. Steel would occupy the tow, so decided to return to the mountains. 

They loaded what feed and supplies they could hastily get together, into oxen drawn wagons, and burned the rest of 

preventing the army from taking it. Calvary believes that group of Union soldiers rode along with them as far as Alma, 

Arkansas. 

- 

There, Elizabeth died, but her baby lived and was cared for by relative and friends, Elizabeth was buried about a half 

mile from alma on the bank of a creek. Thomas Jefferson Rankin was then past seven. He remembered it well, and 

also, the death of his little sisters. It was a very and time for a small boy. He had no knowledge of his father's 

whereabouts and never saw him until three years later, when he returned from Memphis where he was mustered out. 

- 

At this sad time, a kind friends form Mountainburg, met the wagon train with feed and extra wagons. They helped 

them to go to what was then called Singleton, now Shepherd Springs. They lived there until the father returned from 

the war in 1866. After that he moved the family back to the farm west of ours. He received a pension for his services 

in the Union Army till he died at the home of his son, Thomas Jefferson Rankin, on a farm east of Chester on what is 

now Highway 71. He received, while in Union forces, a battle wound, in his side which was a hindrance to him as 

long as he lived. He, after being mustered out, later married Mrs. Peters, whose maiden name was Wright. She was the 

mother of the children born after the war. 

- 

During the war, Thomas Shepherd has much trouble from the bands of marauding bushwhackers. They repeatedly 


plundered and robbed his place of food and horse feed. He had stored what food he could be in what is known as "The 

Blowout." When he heard their horses coming, he would go to the "Blowout," a sort of cave in the woods above the 

house and barn. No on would ever suspect it was there until within a few feet of it. A spring runs from it and flows on 

past the home and into the creek to the north of it. There are many fine springs on the place yet. I have been told that 

on one occasion when the robbers came, Mr. Shepherd accounted for four of them with his rifle. In the night, their 

companions returned to bury them in a corner of the place. I cannot verify this story, told to me by relative, but there 

was a large mound of earth, not top soil, there, when we bought our place and there were still traces of it until a road 

dozer leveled it a few years ago. 

- 

Thomas Jefferson Rankin married Martha Ellen Strong, when he was 21 years of age. They lived in Porter Township, 

near the Washington County line, for a number of years. Carl Benjamin, the eldest son, was born there and attended 

school at the Sassafras Pond school. There is still a building at the same site of this school. 

- 

From there, they moved south to a place north of Chester, which has been occupied by some one of the family for 

many years. They homesteaded this place and Thomas Jefferson Rankin worked for the Frisco R.R. Co. helping lay 

track. Jim and Sam Strong lived with them and also worked on the Frisco R.R. They were Martha Ellen's brothers. 

They took smallpox from some Negro workmen who were brought into the area. Many of these men died and were 

buried near the track. These people, named Strong, came from Mercer County, MO. I have heard a sister of Martha 

Ellen tell that they drove here in covered wagons in the winter. When they reached the Missouri River, they camped on 

its bank to wait for it to freeze so they could get their wagons over. Other people bound for the south, camped there 

too. She got acquainted with a future husband there, and later after they reached Arkansas, they were married. 

- 

This home is near what was then called Frisco, later called Porter, and now called Schaberg. Uncle Tom said the 

tunnel was made after the railroad was laid to Winslow and that the first trains went over the tunnel. The tunnel was 

finished in 1882. 

- 

He moved his family from there to Alma where they lived for two years. They then bought the place of his brother, 

William west of Chester, where his son, William, now lives. He was still living there when his father died in 1915. He 

put out orchards and much fruit was harvested from them for many years. He helped to get clay out of the kiln south of 

Chester Schoolhouse. It was used for the bricks in the old brick building in Chester, and some houses. 

- 

From the farm east of Chester, they moved of their home in Chester where they lived until they died. This home has 

been remolded by a grandson, John Villiquette, and he lives there with his family. There are four of the children of 

Thomas Jefferson Rankin now living here: Grace, William, Walter and Sarah. I am acquainted with all of them and 

Sarah has been a friend for years. Uncle Tom was our neighbor for 25 years. He was always kind, thoughtful and 

interesting. Both he and his wife, Martha Ellen, were good neighbors. 

- 

Representative James W. Trimble secured this Civil War record for me. I appreciate it very much as it adds much to 

the interest of the article and should be prized by the many descendants of Henderson Clark Rankin: Solider's 

Certificate, No 546687 (Archives), Rank: Corporal, Service, : Co. L, 2 Ark. Vol. Cav. Document in file presenting 

proof of disability in application for pension states: Henderson Cark Rankin enlisted or volunteered as a Private in 

Company #2nd Regiment of Arkansas Calvary and was discharged at Memphis, Tenn. on or about August 20, 1865 by 

reason of close of war. He was a line of his duty at or near Big Blue, Missouri about November or December 1864, 

became disabled by shell exploding about forty yards in front of the company. Rankin reported that a piece of that 

shell struck him on the side. An affidavit in file making such statements was signed by George H. Dyer of Tacoma, 

Washington, as a former comrade. 

- 

Invalid pension for Henderson Clark Rankin, Number 540729 or 540929. (No 540729 is shown in his record more 

often than is 540929.) One is an error. 

- 

A statement in the file by Dr. Joe S. Bushong, dated November 25, 1889, at Mountainburg, Crawford county; a 

statement by Dr. E.M. Lowery, signed at Graphic, dated December 1889; a statement made by Jacob Yoes, dated 

December 20, 1889; A statement by H.C. Rankin indicated that he was a resident of Chester in March 1890. Said 

statements declared that he was treated by doctors, Maynard and Hacket, while he was in the service. This statement 


was signed by (Rankin's mark) and witnessed by J.W. Baldwin and J.M. Granger. 

- 

A statement made by H.C. Rankin shows his wife's name was, in 1898, Elizabeth Wright. (She was his second wife). 

They were married October 15, 1867, by George Peters, a Justice of the Peace. Elizabeth Shepherd, his first wife, died 

in the winter of 1863 or 1864 while he was in the Union service. This document lists some of the children of 

Henderson Clark. Thomas Jefferson as the first born and Mary Emma was born after the war on August 17, 1872. 

- 

A statement of H.C. Rankin States that he served in Wallace's company, Brook's Battalion, C.S.A. Cavalry, afterward 

consolidated with King and Wallace, known as 19th and 34 Co. Infantry. He was called for Battle of Elkhorn, went to 

camp and was sent home to get more guns. When he returned, the battle was over. The camp was on Lee Creek. At 

Elkhorn Battlefield, he and others were disbanded. He was told that his corn and stock would be destroyed, so he 

joined some guards at a picket post above Chester. That was Eli Jones, Co. John Hatfield was Lieut. of Brook's 

Regiment. He made three scout trips with them in the fall of 1862, left there and went to Newton County to make a 

crop in 1863, that fall joined the Federal forces. 

- 

A document in the file singed by H.C. Rankin's mark. Dated June 19, 1897, states: "I served first in emergency HG 

under Captain Wallace about five days, 2nd Lt. Jones, Brook's Bn. Crawford Co. HGGSA from August 1862, till some 

time in winter. I had no other Confederate service." 

- 

A document in the file in National Archives connected with application for pension lists H.C. Rankin as born April 1, 

1822, in Murry County, Tennessee, light complexion, dark hair, blue eyes. 

- 

File indicated that he was denied the pension because of his Confederate service but later was reinstated on Pension 

roll. The file indicates that he first received $12.00 per month and this was raised to $20.00 in 1907, and 1912 to 

$27.00 per month. 

- 

A document in file listing service of H.C. Rankin states that he was a private in Co. L, 2nd Regiment Arkansas 

Cavalry Volunteers, was enrolled on the 10th day October 1862, at Van Buren for three years and was mustered into 

service January 26th, 1864, at Springfield, MO. He reported on rally for January and February 1864, absented on 

detached service since August 28th, 1864, same file to June 30, 1864, and July and August 1864. Was present 

September and October 1864 and to June 30, 1865? Was mustered out with his Company at Memphis, August 30, 

1865, a Corporal? 

- 

A document on file indicates that Henderson Clark Rankin was pensioned for deafness, and in his later years, was in 

wretched health. All through his file, connected with latter years of his life, statements, made in his behalf, indicate that 

he was poor physical condition. 

- 

For the sake of the family record, I add that the only other Rankin I have on record at that early date was a Sabra 

Rankin, who married Edward Lee, who was born in S.C. in 1822. Edward Lee and Sebra Rankin were married in 1843. 

They moved to Chester November 26th, 1858. Edward lee was a son of Henry Lee, who married Lucy Furlow. This 

Henry Lee is likely related to Gen. Robert E. Lee, as indicated by an old newspaper report of the funeral of President 

George Washington. Edward Lee and Sabra Rankin has many descendants in this area. It is generally known that Gen. 

Robert E. Lee married a granddaughter of the wife of Gen George Washington. Among the decedents of Edward lee 

and Sabra Rankin is a daughter, Francis Lee, who married James Osborn. Their daughter, Myrtle, married Nelson B. 

Harrison. They live at Chester. They had the children. They are: Vesta, Edyth, Roy, Verle, Kimbrel, Randall, Virginia, 

James, Inez and Anne Mae. One died in infancy. 

- 

On the daughter of Edward and Sabra Lee, married Frank Sims. Her name was Emaline Lee. They had a large family 

who is well known in Crawford County.

born August 08, 1857 in Kansas, and died February 04, 1917 in Chester, Crawford County, AR. 

Notes for JOHN W. FURLOW: 

John and Delia Furlow lived in Chester, near the site of the M.E. Church South. They moved to Fort Smith and lived 

there for a time but Delia believed that a large family of boys belonged in the country. About 1900 they bought the 

farm south of Chester, which at the time of this article was owned by the family. It continued to be home while she 

lived. The children were all schooled in Chester and bad classes in the first three schools built in the area of where the 

rock schoolhouse now stands, which was built in 1941. When Vesta M. was six she started to school at the old log 

schoolhouse near the mouth of Howard's Fork of Clear Creek. Mr. J.L. Grammer was her first teacher, she recalled. 

The Furlow boys were all employed by the Frisco Railroad in different capacities. Mr. Furlow was a track man for 

many years until he retired at the age of 71 years. The history of this family is the history of Chester as their lives were 

so closely identified with the town from its beginning. 

John and Delia remembered the building of all the older homes after the coming of the Railroad, which was completed 

in 1884. The Frisco Roundhouse and Repair shop were finished in 1887. After that, the two early churches -- A North 

M.E. Church west of the track and an M.E Church, South, located East of the Railroad. The Furlow's were members of 

the South M.E. Group. 

Delia and her two older daughters, Geneva Gertrude and Sarah Elizabeth were charter members of the Chester Order 

of Eastern Star Chapter and Vesta M. joined later. 

John Furlow helped to organize the Chester Masonic Lodge # 459 in April 1887. 

There was no dwelling houses in Chester except the Wright home which stood at the time of this article, until the 

Railroad came. The coal engines and the timber yard gave employment to about 100 men. The Furlow knew these 


people. They knew Dr. T.J. Dement and Mr. McGinnis who put up a Drug Store on land bought of Capt. Wright, and 

all the early Doctors who doctored the people of Howard's Fork. They knew all the preachers and Frisco employees. 

They knew Mary Hedrick who built a boarding house in 1888, J.W. Emerson who started the sawmill in 1887 to 

supply lumber and ties. Also, operating in Chester were White River Lumber Company, and Arkansas Lumber 

Company. They knew Jacob Yoes who built a store 20 x 50 ft and later the old brick which still stands. it was used as 

a hotel, Post office, Store and Saloon. J.F. Black had a hardware store in it, and kept the post office there for a time. 

Garret Butler managed the saloon. The dinning room and kitchen were on the ground floor in the rear. The office were 

where the post office is now, and the sleeping rooms were upstairs. At the time of this article, Vesta H. Furlow who 

uses the two larger rooms for her general store and warehouse.

until 1916. He also worked at Gara #1 coal mine and on the Frisco Railroad. During 1916-1918, he worked at the I.C. 

Railroad switching cars and as a conductor. He traveled with the Frisco Railroad helping to set up roundhouses for the 

railroad. He and Cora lived briefly in Harrisburg, IL where their son, Charles, was born. In 1920, they moved to 

Sapulpa, OK then in 1923 to Osage, OK where Albert farmed as well being a switchman for the railroad. The railroad 

then transferred him to Monet, MO. They lived in the small town of Dixon, MO where Cora gave birth to the son, A.J., 

in 1924. Albert and Cora moved to Evansville, IN in 1925 where Cora ran a general grocery store until they lost it in 

the depression of 1929, having extended too much credit. They lived on First Ave. in Evansville on five acres where 

their last six children were born. They moved to Millersburg Road where Albert farmed his acreage as well as rented 

ground. Albert worked for the C&EI Railroad as a switchman until he retired in 1956. He bought a farm in Elberfeld,

Notes for JAMES CLARK IRWIN: 

James Clark Irwin 

76, a resident of Springdale, Arkansas, went to be with his Lord Sunday, April 11, 2004 at Northwest Medical Center 

in Springdale, Arkansas. He was born June 22, 1927 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, the son of Clyde and Pauline Clark 

Irwin of Clyde, Arkansas. 

James grew up on the family farm in Clyde, Arkansas, and at the age of 14, his father died and James became the 

primary caretaker of his mother and the family farm. He attended school at Cane Hill, where he graduated in 1944. 

He spent one year at the University of Arkansas before leaving to serve two years in the United States Army. He 

returned to the University of Arkansas in February 1947 and received a Bachelors degree in Agriculture Education and 

later received a Master's Degree in 1951. 

He married Wanda Karnes on December 26, 1949 and moved to Prairie Grove and opened the first Vocational 

Agriculture Program. He later taught school at Morrow and Lincoln before moving to Springdale in July 1960 to work 

for Tyson Foods. He retired there in 1982 due to health problems. 

As well as teaching and working in the poultry industry, James served nineteen years on the Springdale City Council, 

served on many County, City and Church Committees including: Farmers Housing Board in the 1960's, Springdale 

City Airport - building terminal there, Washington County Rural Water Program - getting city water to rural people, 

Northwest Regional Airport Authority from 1998-2004, Chamber of Commerce in both Lincoln and Springdale, 

Kiwanis Club in Lincoln and Springdale, Restoration Committee for the Cane Hill College, and The Washington 

County Education Committee. 

In 1948, James joined the Prairie Grove Presbyterian Church, Cane Hill Presbyterian Church in 1952, Springdale 

Presbyterian Church in 1960 and the First United Methodist Church in Springdale, Arkansas, in 1980. 

James loved his children and grandchildren, and he especially loved teasing them. 

His greatest interest was his farm family. He loved to tell his grandchildren that they would be the sixth generation to 

own the family farm that was homesteaded in 1847 by Pless and Mary Carter. The poem that best describes his love 

for land is "I Am Land." 

James also enjoyed Finance and Investments. He became director at Bank of Fayetteville from 1986-2001 and was 

noted for financial advise to committees he served. He enjoyed all levels of politics and sincerely believed in anything 

that could improve city, state or national government and believed in letting it be known - particularly through his 

coffee shop buddies. 

James is survived by his wife of 54 years, Wanda Karnes Irwin of the home; two sons and daughters in law, Jim and 

Judy Irwin of Little Rock, Arkansas; Clark and Georgi Irwin of Springdale, Arkansas; one daughter, Paula Irwin of 

Springdale, Arkansas; six grandchildren, J. Clark Irwin, Jill Penick and her husband Ted, Carrie and Lauren Irwin, and 


Hannah and Hailey Herdlinger.

Notes for DONALD HENRY DONNIE LEACH: 

Donald Henry ?Donnie? Leach 

60, was born December 8, 1946 at Herlong, California to Leroy Toy and Helen Marie Rankin Leach. He was the 

grandson of Henry Ward and Beatrice M. Reed Rankin, and Forrest Leach and Maira Neal McDonald Leach. 

He and Ann Rosa Dahmus were married on April 30, 1966 at Kansas City, Missouri. They were the parents of three 

sons, Mark Leach, Dean Laurence Leach and Jack Leroy Leach. 

He is survived by his wife Ann, three sons, four grandchildren, Dakota, Tylan Leach, Michael and Amber Leach. 


Also, surviving is his mother Helen Marie Cahill of Winslow, Arkansas and a sister Karen Marie Leach Smith of 

Kansas City, Missouri and Bella Vista. A half-sister Shirley Leach Majors of Oklahoma. Two aunts? Betty Rankin 

Stephens McGuire, Billie Sue Rankin Hughes and an uncle Henry Allen Rankin. 

Preceding his death was his grandparents, his father, Leroy, one uncle Jerry Donald Leach, a half sister Jackie Leach 

and a cousin, Gary Wayne Stephens. 

Donnie was a pioneer. He could make or rebuild any object he came in contact with. He was a builder, mechanic, 

plumber, Gardner and teller of many truthful stories that never varied in him telling. 

While digging potatoes this year, he found a nest with a baby bird in it. He quit digging until he the bird was old 

enough to fly before he finished digging them. He was never idle. He was always finding some kind of work to do. He 

and Ann built their home and all buildings on heir place. He practically remade my house after I moved in 1988. 

I feel so blessed to have had him for my son. He never hesitated to come to my assistance any time I ever needed his 

help. 

He is missed by all who loved him. He had many friends. 

Sincerely, 

Marie Cahill 

Thanatopsis 

by William Cullen Bryant 

To him who in the love of nature holds 

Communion with her visible forms, she speaks 

A various language; for his gayer hours 

She has a voice of gladness, and a smile 

And eloquence of beauty; and she glides 

Into his darker musings, with a mild 

And healing sympathy that steals away 

Their sharpness ere he is aware. When thoughts 

Of the last bitter hour come like a blight 

Over thy spirit, and sad images 

Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall, 

And breathless darkness, and the narrow house, 

Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart;-- 

Go forth, under the open sky, and list 

To Nature's teachings, while from all around-- 

Earth and her waters, and the depths of air-- 

Comes a still voice. Yet a few days, and thee 

The all-beholding sun shall see no more 

In all his course; nor yet in the cold ground, 

Where thy pale form was laid, with many tears, 

Nor in the embrace of ocean, shall exist 

Thy image. Earth, that nourished thee, shall claim 

Thy growth, to be resolved to earth again, 

And, lost each human trace, surrendering up 

Thine individual being, shalt thou go 

To mix forever with the elements, 

To be a brother to the insensible rock 


And to the sluggish clod, which the rude swain 

Turns with his share, and treads upon. The oak 

Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mold. 

Yet not to thine eternal resting-place 

Shalt thou retire alone, nor couldst thou wish 

Couch more magnificent. Thou shalt lie down 

With patriarchs of the infant world -- with kings, 

The powerful of the earth -- the wise, the good, 

Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past, 

All in one mighty sepulchre. The hills 

Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun, -- the vales 

Stretching in pensive quietness between; 

The venerable woods -- rivers that move 

In majesty, and the complaining brooks 

That make the meadows green; and, poured round all, 

Old Ocean's gray and melancholy waste,-- 

Are but the solemn decorations all 

Of the great tomb of man. The golden sun, 

The planets, all the infinite host of heaven, 

Are shining on the sad abodes of death 

Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread 

The globe are but a handful to the tribes 

That slumber in its bosom. -- Take the wings 

Of morning, pierce the Barcan wilderness, 

Or lose thyself in the continuous woods 

Where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound, 

Save his own dashings -- yet the dead are there: 

And millions in those solitudes, since first 

The flight of years began, have laid them down 

In their last sleep -- the dead reign there alone. 

So shalt thou rest -- and what if thou withdraw 

In silence from the living, and no friend 

Take note of thy departure? All that breathe 

Will share thy destiny. The gay will laugh 

When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care 

Plod on, and each one as before will chase 

His favorite phantom; yet all these shall leave 

Their mirth and their employments, and shall come 

And make their bed with thee. As the long train 

Of ages glides away, the sons of men-- 

The youth in life's fresh spring, and he who goes 

In the full strength of years, matron and maid, 

The speechless babe, and the gray-headed man-- 

Shall one by one be gathered to thy side, 

By those, who in their turn, shall follow them. 

So live, that when thy summons comes to join 

The innumerable caravan, which moves 

To that mysterious realm, where each shall take 

His chamber in the silent halls of death, 

Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, 

Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed 


By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave 

Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch 

About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
