Connie,
I have seen information on our Newton County Message Board about
Mudtown. I believe there may even be information on the web page for
Springdale or Lowell, Arkansas. I am sending a request to our message
board members to send you what information they have on Mudtown. Sorry, I
didn't keep a copy of the information for myself.
The Butterfield Stage used to run through Mudtown (now known as Lowell,
Ar). The stage stop was Callahan's.

Pea Ridge" in the 14th paragraph beginning, "In order to facilitate

Good luck with your search,
