The Cross County Historical Society is seeking donations to cover the cost of purchasing 29 old Cross Co. Courthouse books. The books were sold at the estate sale of Thomas Baker for $3,223.00.
Mr. Thomas rescued these books from a dumpster in the 1960's when the old courthouse was torn down. There are several more books in the possession of individuals. One person contacted has offered to donate one of these to the Cross Co. Historical Society.
The books date from the 1860's when court was held at Wittsburg to the 1920's. One of the books includes the inventory & appraisement of Col. David C Cross' estate. Another book lists land sold in 1865 for non-payment of taxes. This was the year the Civil War ended so provides information as to who was in Cross Co. during the Civil War.
Anyone wishing to donate please send a check payable to the Cross Co. Historical Society, PO Box 943, Wynne, AR 72396. The society is a non-profit organization so your donation will be tax-deductible.
