stands. Here his parents had emigrated
from New York State in 1915. coming over
land to Pittsburg and bringing with them
their slaves, household goods and stock.
At Pittsburg a flatboat or ark was built,
quarters for the slaves were provided In
one end of the ark, while the other end
was fitted up for the use of the family.
the stock occupying the middle portion OF
the boat They floated down the beauti-
full Ohio river, whose picturesque hills on
either bank were then covered with the
virgin forest; past Cincinnati, then a
small frontier point, on past where are
now the thriving cities Of Louisville and
Evansville. They then turned their course
southwark, down the great father of wa
tiers, finally locating at Point Chicot, on
the west bank of the river, near the viii

Indians. This was then in the morgan
lied territory embraced within the Louis
lana purchase and In the present State OF
Arkansas. Here n Spanish grant was OBJ
tanned and patented from Washington and
here it was in 1925 that the subject OF

governors of Alabama
Mrs. Latting was educated at Shelbyville,
KY, and Mr.. Iatting at Woodward col

DR.. Edyotte. While at college his health
failed and on the advice of his physician
he left school to join General Fremonts

st. Louis too late. the expedition having
already started, and SO this plan had to he

until the breaking out OF the civil war,
