There are several Southards buried there.

This may be the mother of Jobe.

The newspaper is the Calico Rock Progress and the first couple of issues for
Jan 1938 are missing. According to Fannie's death date, she died Jan 2,
1938.
===============================
By the way Pat there is another Jobe Southard (1849-1923) who is buried in
the Galatia Cemetery, Baxter County. I've never tried to find out how they
connect.
==============================

I'd like to butt in on this?
My husband's brother-in-law has a grandparent back there named Jobe
Southard.
I don't remember how his line went but they came from Arkansas into
Oklahoma.
I'll see if we can find our research on him.
There was one set of grandparents that died with several young children and
the children were farmed out to different homes.
Seems as though the couple died within 2 weeks of each other about 1917-18,
Does that ring any bells with anyone?
What is the timeframe of this Jobe Southard and Fanny Adams?
Thanks

Pat Foster
