Research Notes: Husband - Orlando Bolton Halbrook

"... Orlando, after a year or two, build a sort of a dormitory [for the
high school at Choctaw] that accommodated quite a few and that relieved
our congestion to a certain extent. The rate was six to eight dollars per
month, many on a credit, particularly for the last month or so." (William
Erwin Halbrook's "A School Man of the Ozarks", p63)

"At one time, Orlando had a general store and ""peddling wagon"". Later
he operated a heading mill and sawmill. The family lived on the VanBuren,
Conway County line. Some of the family attended elementary school at
Shotgun Ridge in Conway County." (Conway County - Our Land, Our Home, Our
People)
