small community called HotwelL, LA, that he died in 1874, and is buried there. He said his grandparents had four children:
1.	Magnolia McArthur - bom in 1857 and died in 1868.
2.	Albert Gallager McArthur - bom May 5, 1859 and died December 23, 1917.
He married Mary Crouch, lived in Hineston, LA, and is buried at Fellowship Cemetery in that town. They had the following children:
a.	Elizabeth “Lizzie” McArthur - married F.M. Akins and lived in Elmer, LA.
b.	Adeline “Addie” McArthur - never married and lived in Hineston, LA.
c.	James McArthur - married Ola Barton and lived in Hineston, LA.
d.	Jessie W. McArthur - she never married and lived in Hineston, LA.
e.	Albert N. “Bert” McArthur, Jr. - married in his old age to Clara Brenner. No children.
f.	Joseph E. McArthur - married Joeline McNeale and lived in Wilda, LA.
g.	Annie McArthur - married J.T. Hilton and lived in Hineston, LA.
h.	Theresa McArthur - married T.L. Melder and lived in Hineston, LA.
i.	Willard McArthur - married Ruby Mae Laird and lived in Glenmora, LA.
He was the source of this line of information.
3.	Marsolene Celeste “Lene” McArthur - married Claiborne “Clabe” Rabb and lived in Pine Prairie, Evangeline Parish, LA. She had one or two sons in that area according to Willard McArthur. In the 1880 census of Hineston, Rapides Parish, LA, we find “Marsalene Rabb,” bom in 1863 in Mississippi (as were her parents). She is with what appears to be her husband, Joseph W. Rabb, bom in 1852 in Mississippi and no children listed. In the 1870 census of Madison, MS we find “Claiborne Robb,” bom in 1867 in Mississippi. He was living with his parents that year, and we feel this “Robb” is actually the Rabb family in this paragraph.
4.	Joseph Wilson McArthur - bom on December 24, 1873 and died April 18, 1931. He married Loudella “Della” McGinnis and lived in Glenmora, LA. They had:

b.	Cordie McArthur - she married O.D. Havens and lived in Alexandria, LA.
c.	Florence McArthur - married Benny Gorum and lived in Glenmora, LA.
d.	Vincent McArthur - married Doris Howell and lived in Glenmora, LA.

Mr. Willard McArthur could remember little about his grandfather except that he came from Mississippi. The last record we have of this family was in a letter dated
