The Arkansas State Line....

sketch by Sherryl Guthrie Miller
"On coming into Arkansas Lou saw a line stretched across the gound. She yelled, "Tuck, I found the state line!" Well, she was just 14.
On they went, over the state line and into Arkansas, where they did homestead and raise a large family. The Kuykendalls and Wallaces had adjoining tracts of land. This section of land became known as the Kentucky settlement, and was located 8 miles south of Monette in Craighead County."
