SUSAN MILLER BETHELS DIARYS
  
A must read excerpt from SUSAN MILLER BETHELS DIARYS for 1917, 1918 and 1919 !     Read 1917       1918      1918 ver. 2       1919 (Partial)   These few pages give a great deal of insight into the everyday lives of the people in Scott County during that time.

Susan was the wife of William Riley Bethel and they lived most of their life in Cauthron. The diary of Susan Nell Miller Bethel presents a wonderful but somewhat sad view into the lives of people in Scott County in the early 1900's. When you read her diary you will find many members of the Bethel family mentioned as well as numerous friends, neighbors and residents of Cauthron, Bates, Gipson and Weeks. The lives of the people was pretty hard in those days and the terrible flu epidemic during that time made their lives even more difficult.

Did you have a ancestor in the Civil War?  Was he in the Confederate Army?  Was he in the 19th (Dawson's) Arkansas Infantry Regment or 35th Arkansas Infantry Regment?
