Martin B. FOSTER Sr. recalled that Ormond HARRIS family moved to Arkansas and crossed the Mississippi River at Arkansas City, moved to Pine Bluff.  Grandpa had a few Negroes and four or five children of his own.  And they stayed there and made a good crop, the land was rich, but swampy country.  He made a crop there and the next year the whole family was down with malaria fever and liked to died and the only person they had to wait on them was the old mama Negro woman, she stayed well to wait on them during the sickness.  It didn't take him long to decide he didn't want to stay there so he sold his crop in the field and went to Texas and settled around Dallas, Texas and there is where he lived for several years.  In 1864, that was when the Cilvil War was on, he came to Yell County and stayed a year and it overflowed.  He lived on the Milas Scott place and then went back to Texas and that is where my mother Harriet Harris married Herschel C. ROACH. Harriet had been married about two years when they moved back to Arkansas.
