| A Short History of Henry Page. | Henry Page lived on a farm on the public road about three miles southeast from Cauthron from 1888 to 1897. He married Mary Parks and to that union were born several children, namely; Ella Page, Melissa Page, Robert Page and Cora Page. The others names I cannot recall. Jim Stafford married one of his sisters. Brother Page served as Justice of the Peace for Cauthron Township for a number of years. He pronounced the ceremony that made my father and Sarah Tyler husband and wife. He was a member of Cauthron Lodge #385 F. and AM, andc was also a member of the Methodist Church in which he lived a loyal member until his death. The family are all dead and buried in the lower cemetery at Cauthron, except Robert. This also was written by Will Ray - 1951. (William A. Ray, born in 1879 and died in 1952. His wife was Cynthia E. Ray. They are buried at Cauthron Cemetery) Mary Page and Moses Parks are brother and sister. Her brother and nephew are the ones the bushwhackers killed. They are buried on the old Kirk place. A BRIEF HISTORY OF SOME OF THE OLD SETTLERS, who lived in the vicinity of Cauthron, Scott County, AR, from about the years of the Civil War until about 1920. We do not know much about the early day history of Cauthron, that is before the Civil War. I have written to the post office department at Washington, D.C., for the date It became a post office- which information I will insert later. Cauthron was originally located near the lower cemetery about two hundred yards east of the school house. About the years 1901-02 the railroad built through the valley from Heavener Oklahoma to Waldron, AR. It was located about one-fourth mile north of the old site of Cauthron and some businesses began to spring up around the depot and gradually the stores began to move to the new site until all were moved. After the railroad built through, a number of saw mills moved into the country followed by a lot of people and all the towns along this road became larger and prosperous. |
