Hi Ron: Happy New Years;; Excelsior isn't easy to findas isn't on most
maps. It is on the Ar. State map. Find Ft Smith and Hwy 71 s. to
Greenwood. Hwy 10 crosses there and goes West . After 2 miles you find
Hwy 253 and that is where it is. There is nothing there except people. At
one time there was 3 general mdse stores ,,one was jesse T.. A railroad
station and shops. There is 2 cousins there, Joe Tom King and Frankie
Jean Plunkett. I can't remember if I told you Mary Louise died on 3 Oct
1950. Good genealogy hunting in 1999. Katherine----------
