Another untapped resource we have in the Ouachita Parish Public Library’s Genealogy department are our family history and biography files. Over the next several days (since the list is HUGE!) I’ll be posting sections of the index we have made. Most of the files are newspaper clippings. Some clippings are unsourced, but most are. We do have some family trees, copies of bible records and other things you just may find useful!

He was murdered on Louisville at the Ouachita River by an assassin who was never identified or punished. May God Rest Ben Dinkgrave’s soul.” | |
