Murphy, you should obtain the Sanborn Fire Insurance map sheets depicting the Ft. Smith yard area - they are usually available for several dates. Start your search at: http://www.geocities.com/sharon_sergeant/SanbornInsuranceMaps.htm

Both the Fayetteville and U of AR libraries have the collection. Have your parents help if you need access to the libraries.
