Document 10.72. My Life's Story by Homer Lawson<br />
<strong>Snodgrass</strong> Sr.<br />
I was born January 18,1896 about 2 miles south of Lincoln.<br />
Arkansas in a log cabin about day light, on what was known<br />
as Sugar Hill Mountain. We lived there about 1 or 2 years<br />
and then moved about 1 mile to another farm known then as<br />
the Hay's place. We lived there about a year or so and then<br />
about 1898 or 1899 we moved again south of Summers.<br />
Arkansas. It was about 2 miles closer to Possum Holler<br />
School. It was on a place that Alva Thomas Father had<br />
bought. We farmed the place and about 1899 the Frisco<br />
Railroad was building a Railroad from Fayetteville to<br />
Muskogee, Oklahoma. So one weekend Father took the<br />
family for a visit with U. S. Hargrove. I think that was in the<br />
fall of 1899. It was on a Sunday and the people dedicated the<br />
road between Lincoln and Prairie Grove, Arkansas. Just east<br />
of Lincoln about 2 miles, they had built two log cabins and<br />
were working several convicts with white and black stripe<br />
clothes and each man had a ball and chain on their right leg.<br />
We went to sec them come out of their cabin with guards all<br />
around them. It was quite a sight for a lad of 4 years old. A<br />
memory I will never forget.<br />
In 1900 or 1901 Father had taken a contract to furnish the<br />
Frisco Railroad with several ties and pilings to make the<br />
bridge just East of Summers, Arkansas. Some of the pilings<br />
were 20 feet long or longer. My Father had hired several<br />
1ncn and their families to camp on our place and make ties<br />
and Pilings. They would have to take the bark off the pilings.<br />
Father would help them and show them what tall trees to cut<br />
and then my oldest brother Henry and Denver and 1 would<br />
take the1n to Summers, Arkansas where they were building<br />
the bridge. 1 lenry would drive the first team, and Denver<br />
would drive the second team and your old Dad, Homer,<br />
