I'm typing this again -- may end up being duplicate.

HELLOOOOOOOO, Bernie and all!

Yes, Bernie, I know you've asked about me. Please not my new e-mail
address.

But first things first. I have a marriage in my records that COULD be your
Dollie SMITH. Note this one has middle initial "B."

Hatch, Match & Dispatch, Index: Births, Marriages & Deaths, 1901-1915:

March 7, 1907 Friday issue

Albert HORNBUCKLE and Miss Dollie B. SMITH were married at the residence of
the bride's parents last Sunday. Esq. COOPER performing the ceremony.

Albert had rented C. C. BRYANT's farm (the Pink COX Place) before he
married, and the young couple are now at home. We predict for them a happy
and prosperous life.

BIRTHS: January 19 -- Mr. and Mrs. Albert HORNBUCKLE, a girl.

We used to say, "Put that in your pipe and smoke it." Will look forward to
seeing your response.

I might mention that Fort Smith -- in the early 1900s -- had lots of mining
activity (immigrant men) and the military base there also. I know the name
of the camp so well but it escapes me now.

Glad to see you have returned -- I just subscribed to our List. Have missed
you and all my friends.

Bernie, a copy of the above marriage license from Baxter County may reveal
more and confirm if this is your Dollie.

LOL! Peggy
