Hello, I am researching Mt. Carmel Cemetery here in Logan County for a Cemetery Memorial Photo Album. I have lots of the Dorough children..and found this article:
Biographical & Historical Memoirs of Western Arkansas
The Southern Publishing Company, Chicago and Nashville, 1891.
Logan County
JACOB DOROUGH, planter, Paris, Ark. Mr. Dorough's first
impression was that of assisting on his father's farm, and it
is but natural, perhaps, that when it became necessary for him
to choose some occupation in life, he should select the one to
which he had been reared. He was born in Georgia, October 22,
1849, and his parents, Milton B. and Emily M. (Casper) Dorough,
were natives of Georgia and South Carolina, respectively, the
father born in 1820 and the mother in 1819. They were married
in Carroll County, Ga., and to them were born ten children,
five besides our subject now living: William T., Margy M.,
John R., Simeon H. and Nancy R. Those deceased were Louisa S.,
James P., Milton W. and George H. The parents died in Georgia,
the father in 1890 and the mother in 1884. Both were church
members. The father was in the Indian wars. Jacob Dorough
attained his growth on his father's farm, and was married in
Heard County, Ga., in 1865, to Miss Susan L. Mosely, a native
of Georgia, born April 14, 1850. Twelve children have blessed
this union, nine now living: James W., Milton M., Charles F.,
George S., Henry E., Robert S., Elbert R., Sarah C. (died
November 8, 1890), Rhoda J., Adolphus W. (deceased), Jacob H.,
and Emily R. (died November 15, 1890.) Mr. Dorough enlisted in
Company H, infantry, in 1864, and served until 1865. He was
paroled at Athens, Ga., and then returned home, where he engaged
in tilling the soil. He is now the owner of 270 acres of land,
and has 100 acres under cultivation. He was elected justice of
the peace of Mountain Township, in 1878, and has discharged the
duties of that office ever since. He is a blacksmith, and works
for the neighborhood. He is a member of the Farmers' Alliance,
and a member of the Presbyterian Church. Mrs. Dorough is a member
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
If you have any family information on the children buried here, I would love to include it.
