I finally got his application today. My husband always thought his grandpa and grandma married at a very young age and left Ar earlier than this but on the app it's showing that at 20 years old he's still living in Okolona and single.
Date of application 1/15/41
Date of last full time job ended 9/26/40
Place of employment: C.C.C. (anyone know what c.c.c. is?)
Fathers full name: Kennon Lee Harris
Mothers full name before marriage: Manie Lou Cloud
I would sure like more info on Kennon Harris' family. I'll have to send away for his ssa next.

THE FEDERAL FLAG AT VAN BUREN
The first of this month was a happy day for the ladies and other citizens of Van Buren. The ladies of that place made and presented the 1st Reg't Ark. Infantry, a large Federal Flag, which was elevated to the top of a fine and substantial flag-staff occupying the front yard of the Court House. The rebels once waved the treasonable ensign of the Confederacy from the same towering shaft; but their first endeavor in this shameful boast of their treason resulted in tearing their flag nearly in twain. That disaster may be regarded as an omen of ill to the nefarious scheme of destroying the Federal Nationality, for the purpose of rearing on its ruins an aristocracy of the imperious few, who disregard the will and the interests of the laboring many that constitute the bone and sinew of the Arkansian population.
Appropriate speeches were delivered on the occasion by Colonel J M Johnson, of the 1st Arkansas Infantry, Colonel W F Cloud, of the 2nd Kansas Cavalry, Colonel Williams, of the 1st "Iron-Clads", and Lieutenant Colonel E J Searle, of the 1st Arkansas Infantry. These speeches were loudly applauded, and were well calculated to encourage the patriotic aspirations of the numerous assemblage of citizens and soldiers.

Hi Genealogy Friends and Family!
We just returned from vacation. The kids were out of school for spring break for 2 weeks and we headed down to the Okefenokee and the Everglades and also spent some time in Key Largo. I'll put some pictures up when I get time. I sent away for Gerald Harris' death cert (dh's grandpa) and hopefully that will be helpful in some way. I'm having trouble getting much on the Harris side. I've been anxiously awaiting the mail! I won't be doing much genealogy in the next week either as my mom and brother will be out for a visit! Happy hunting!
