Hornersville Dunklin County Missouri. He died about 1915

in Etowah, Mississippi County, Arkansas. and was buried in

Garden Point Cemetey, Etowah, Mississippi County,

Arkansas.

Mott’s parentage is unknown at this time as information

passed down through his children. Is that Mott's parents died

when he was a small child? Although there is no proof in

other information pasted down through Mott's Son George

Franklin Branom we believe that Mott is the grandson of

Michael Branum and Angelique Tirad. Mott Branum told his

son George that when he was a small boy living with one of

his Aunt's during the Civil War she hid him under a washtub

from the soldiers. In correspondence with Marianell Branum

Finks, she tells me that her Grandmother Victorine "Reeny"

Horner Branum told her a story about Victoria Branum

Horner (daughter of Michael Branum)Hiding her nephew

under a washtub during the Civil War from the soldiers.

Marianell could not remember the boy's name. In the 1870

census Dunklin County Missouri, Clay township. We find

Mott Branum age 17 living with Julia Henson (daughter of

Michael Branum and Angelique Tired). Confirming the

story that Mott Calvin Branum was raised by his Aunt's

Victoria Branum Horner "Aunt Vic" and Julia Branum

Henson "Aunt Julia."

The Family moved to Mississippi County Arkansas from

Dunklin County Mssouri in the mid to late 1890's. A Mrs.

Molly Hatcher took care of Janie and Lillie. (Information

came from Jason Lunsford). Mott's grandson Jess Pruitt was

about eight years old when his grandfather died, he

remembers it well as they had black berry juice for breakfast

that morning, after eating Mott went in to lie down, when his

daughter Bert (Bertha) went in to check on him the Lord had

took him, and Jess remembered that he thought the black

berry juice was blood, and his Mother had explained to him

that it was the juice. Although there is not a marker on

Mott's grave any more, his grandson's Jess Pruitt and Buster

Lunsford know that he was buried At Garden Point

Cemetery in Etowah Arkansas.

Mott married Margaret Ann MCDANIEL "Sis", daughter

of Hale MCDANIEL and Anna UNKNOWN . Sis was born

about 1853 in Dunklin County, Missouri. She died 1895 in

MILLER 6 J 23 Ron Miller, 78, of Jonesboro departed this life on Tuesday,

Ralph, Bill and Owen and sister Elaine Miller McCoy. Survivors include one brother, Bob Miller of Jonesboro; two

sisters, Betty Smith of Keiser and Marsha Midkiff of

Williamsburg, VA; and a large extended family. Ron graduated from Mississippi County High School in

1955 and Arkansas State College in 1959 with a bachelor

degree in social science and commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant

in the U.S. Army. He became a highly accomplished

military pilot, flying a Huey helicopter gunship during three

tours in Vietnam. His lengthy list of military achievements

during his 24-year career includes two Distinguished Flying

Crosses, two Bronze Stars and 21 Air Metals. Ron was a

Master Aviator, and rated in multiengine aircraft in multi-

engine aircraft including the Beechcraft Baron, the King Air

and Queen Air. Ron retired in Atlanta, and shortly thereafter the dedication

of the national Vietnam Memorial (The Wall) was scheduled

to be dedicated at 11 a.m. on Nov. 14, 1892. Having served

three years in combat, Ron knew he had to be at the Wall’s

dedication to honor his man friends who had lost their lives

during that war. On Nov 14, almost 300 Vietnam veterans

from Atlanta joined the many thousands at the dedication of

the Vietnam Veterans Memorial - it was an incredible

program which began the national reconciliation between the

American people and those who served there. Shortly thereafter, President Ronald Reagan appointed Ron

as the executive director of the Georgia Vietnam Veterans

Leadership Program Inc., a very successful state program

that placed more than 3000 veterans in full-time career

positions and captured more than $100 million in SBA direct

and bank-guaranteed loans. During the next 13 years, Ron and his team earned many

awards and trophies for their outstanding work with veterans

and their families. President George H.W. Bush awarded

Ron and his team with the President Bush’s Thousand Points

In 1986, Ron contacted Bob Hope and convinced him to

perform a special show at the historic Fox Theater in

Atlanta. The “Salute to Bob Hope” was standing room only

and at the end of the performance, Ron Miller read a

telegram to Mr. Hope from President Reagan, who thanked

him for his decades of service to our great country. In 2002,

Home Box Office Inc, selected Mr Miller to be the master of

p.m. on Tuesday and until time ceremonies for the world

premiere of HBO movie “Path to War” in Atlanta. Later

that year, it won the Golden Globe Award in Los Angeles. In 1993, Ron was select as associated producer of the

Vietnam POW documentary, “Beyond Courage – Surviving

Vietnam as a POW.” The documentary took six former

WILMOTH US Army WWII 6 Z 37

Robert H. "Bob" Wilmoth, 90, of Lepanto died suddenly

Monday evening in Little Rock while visiting family. Born

on June 27, 1923, in Etowah, he was the first child and

eldest son of Myrtle Harrison and Robert Henry Wilmoth

Sr., early settlers in southern Mississippi County. His mother

had been a postmistress, and his father, who began working

in Mississippi County in the "log woods" for Chapman and

Dewey at age 18, was a merchant, farmer and ginner.

One of Mr. Wilmoth's earliest memories was of being

confined to play on the front porch during the Great Flood of

1927. His mother forbade him to venture any further as

snakes had been driven to the higher ground in the

settlement. It was torture for the 4-year-old boy. A boy

during the Depression, he gained a great practical education

as well as an extraordinary exposure to the human condition

while helping his father in the sawmill, at the store and on

the farm.

At age 12, he was driving his father's Model A to deliver

groceries, transport workers to fields, deliver messages and

pick up freight. Mr. Wilmoth was educated in local schools

and graduated from Keiser High School in 1941. He

attended the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and was

recruited into the early specialized training program to

become a pilot during WWII. To his great disappointment,

he learned that he was too color-blind to become a pilot; so

he enlisted in the regular Army in 1943. His expert use of a

slide rule was noted, and he was assigned to the field

artillery of the 103rd Army.

He became a forward artillery spotter, scouting out and

calling in coordinates for the artillery to target. He first saw

combat in northern France during the terrible winter of

1944-45. His unit was among the earliest to cross the Rhine

into Germany, where they helped liberate the Landsberg

Concentration Camp and crossed the Brenner Pass in the

Alps to meet up with the 5th Army advancing from Italy.

His experiences during WWII were profound and lasting.

Even as he witnessed devastation and death all around him,

the inquisitive country boy from Arkansas reveled in the

sights and culture of Europe. Mr. Wilmoth came home to

Arkansas and enrolled at Arkansas State University in

Jonesboro, where he studied agriculture. These were among

some of the happiest, most care-free years of his life. He

helped charter and became president of the Sigma Pi

fraternity, where he made lifelong friendships that he

treasured. He met and married his wife, Imogene Russell, of

Pine Bluff, a campus beauty, there.

His first work after graduation was with the Cooperative

Extension Service in the Marked Tree area, teaching farmers

how to modernize and better manage their land and crops.

He and his young wife were especially popular with the farm

families in the area. Although he had taken a position with

Allied Chemicals in Paducah, Ky., during the early 50s, Mr.

Wilmoth was one of those Arkies who never reached escape

velocity. He moved back to Etowah and assumed

responsibility for his father's farming operation in 1954. He

developed the farm from one that was still using mules to

work the ground, to a modern, mechanized family farm.

An educated and careful planner, keen observer and hard

worker, he was a first-rate farmer and steward of the family

land. Long after he retired from farming, he still exulted in

the sight of a "pretty stand" of cotton, a clean field laid out in

straight rows and well- maintained ditches and turnrows. Mr.

Wilmoth loved his community and contributed to it in a

variety of ways, such as serving on the school board and

water board, helping start the Garden Point Cemetery

Association and in other local political, church, farm and

civic affairs.

He was particularly generous and tender-hearted in helping

local people who were less fortunate and needy. In 1991, he

and Mrs. Wilmoth fulfilled a dream when they took their

five children and their spouses to Europe for four weeks.

The Wilmoth Family Tour visited places he had been in

France, Germany and Austria, with side-trips to Prague,

Vienna and Florence. He traveled abroad two more times

with various family members, and in 2009 he joined three

daughters and their spouses for a cruise to Alaska.


Above all, Mr. Wilmoth was a devoted husband and father.

Married for more than 50 years, he was an attentive and

loving caregiver to his wife during her long illness before

she died. Together they had developed the farm, worked for

the betterment of their community and reared and educated

their children.

Mr. Wilmoth insisted that all of his children spend time

working in the fields. He felt summers spent hoeing cotton

or hauling wheat was a sure-fire way to ensure that all of

them would want to go to college. He reared his four

daughters and son to be competent, resourceful and

responsible. He instilled the virtues of honesty, integrity and

hard work through example.

Woe to any passenger who was not alert and well-braced as

Mr. Wilmoth drove his truck around the farm inspecting

crops. Even in his 80s he would often spy a weed far down a

long row of cotton, abruptly slam on the brakes, grab a hoe

from the truck bed and start his long march down the field to

dispatch it.

Mr. Wilmoth had a long and happy life. He loved jazz, an

occasional cold beer and cornbread. He was a Baptist and

read his Bible daily, pondering the significance of the

scriptures. He also enjoyed reading his daily paper and was

always up-to-date on the markets and international news. He

lived frugally, choosing to share what he had with his family

and friends.

He loved the people in his community and they embraced

him in return. The kindness and affection that he received

from his neighbors, friends, and the people he encountered

daily at the post office, bank and grocery store helped him

achieve his goal of living independently until he died. He

often remarked that he had been blessed.

One of nine siblings, he is survived by four sisters: Catherine

Kroepfl of Sherwood, Bettye Webb of Tupelo, Miss., Sally

McMechen of Marion and Carolyn Kincaid of Las Vegas.

He is also survived by his children, Judy Wilmoth White

(Ray), Cynthia Howington (Edward) and Suzanne Wilmoth

(Phil Hooper), all of Little Rock, Jan Langston (Rev. Ron) of

Nairobi, Kenya, and Rob Wilmoth (Carol Jean) of

Steamboat Springs, Colo. Grandchildren are Neil Langston

of Jonesboro, James Langston of Sinazongwe, Zambia,

Callie White of Aberdeen, Wash., Claire Howington of

Abbeville, La., and Douglas White, Andrew Howington and

Maddie and Hannah Hooper, all of Little Rock. Mr.Wilmoth

had four great-grandchildren. The family wishes to

especially thank Julie Rosamund, Betty Mason, Nancy

Franks, Bo McCollum and Darryl Allen for the care and

friendship they gave to our father in his final years.

His sisters Jane Anderson, Sue Brothers and Jean Martin and

only brother, Andy, have died.

Visitation is 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday at Murphy Funeral Home

in Lepanto. Funeral services are 2 p.m. Sunday at Etowah

Baptist Church with burial afterwards at Garden Point

Thomas J. Woodruff, 24, was killed in Osceola, AR, on

Friday, November 1, 1940 when the oil truck he was driving

was struck by the southbound passenger train.

bent before Woodruff could be removed. Arthur Brickly Jr.

was the first to arrive on the scene and carried Woodruff to

the offices of Dr. LD Massey where he died 45 minutes later

without gaining consciousness.

According to a negro woman, an eyewitness, and the train

engineer, Woodruff stopped his truck to shift into low gear.

effort to shift the low gear when the locomotive struck him.

The cab was knocked 50 feet from the impact. A trailer tank

filled with oil chassis knocked from under it.
