CHOAT, Jackson -(from The Prairie Grove Herald) The body of Jack Choat, who was drowned in Baron Fork creek, near Dutch Mills during the high water about six weeks ago, was found last Saturday by an Indian who was fishing in the creek about four miles below Dutch Mills. The body was lodged in the roots of a tree one and a half feet under water and was partially covered with sand and gravel. Although the body had been in the water several weeks it was in a very good state of preservation and was readily recognized as that of Mr. Choat. The interment was made at White Rock Sunday.
