Hi June,

You can zoom in and see that Ussery was in Garland County just north of the border with Hot Springs county.According to Glenwood's website it is in Pike County, near the Caddo River.That would put Glenwood a few miles to the southwest of Ussery.According to Glenwood's website, its beginnings trace to the railroad being built.This was a common reason for the demise of many settlements and small towns.If the railroad didn't come through, the town "dried up."
