Paul and Shirlene Evett made a recent trip to Hot Springs, Arkansas to attend a birthday party for her granddaughter Ava.

Aaron Finney accompanied his mother, Betty Finney, to Ada recently where they enjoyed a visit with her sister, Donna Allison.

Betty Finney was very happy recently when she met her great-great-granddaughter, Lauryn Files of Bismarck, Arkansas, for the first time. Accompanying the 4-year-old on her first trip to Allen were her parents, Andrew and Allison Files.

The Files spent the night with his grandparents, Robert and Martha Files and Scottie. Also spending the night was Isaiah Files.

The following day they toured the town to see the old homeplace of Mr. and Mrs. Birch Walker, and J.O. and Maude Files, then stopped by the cemetery to see the addition of names to his grandfather’s tombstone. Lauryn’s name had been added to the back of the stone with the other grandchildren, and she was very pleased to see they had spelt it correctly.
