Thank You Deborah for the following:
"In 1864 Bushwhackers from Perry Co. came to Felty's home and demanded money.
They roughed up the old man and his family. So the girls went to the smoke house and dug up $500.00. They decided they wanted more and threatened to shoot the old man. The girls went and dug up more hoping they would leave.
As they were leaving one of the gang shot Felty anyhow. The shot didn't kill him so friends put him in a boat and tried to get him to Little rock, but he died enroute- No one knows where he is buried.
This story was given to the editor of the Atkins newspaper in 1947 by Mrs. Mary Gaston--Felty's Granddaughter. Felty has a plaque in Bell family cemetery-listing him as pioneer Citizen of Arkansas."
