Lucas, Arkansas < Click for history and photos.

This once thriving little town of the 1800s, that played a worthy part in Logan and Scott County History, slowly succumbed to the effects of change as it dwindled to a simple rural community with only a few scattered homes and a church today.

Names once familiar there, besides those listed above, were Bean, Black, Blythe, Bryant, Cottingham, Crow, Coburn, Cox, Curnutt, Davenport, Dean, Dop, Duvall, Earp, Falor, Farmer, Forman, Fox, Farmer, Fuller, Fulmer, Gill, Glass, Harbison, Harris, Harrison, Harwell, Hawthorne, Harden, Higgins, Hightower, Hunt, Hyatt, Henley, Gipson, Ingrum, James, Johnson, Jones, Kimes, Kinnerson, Kuydendall, Lasiter, Ledgerwood, Lacy, Logan, Lindsay, Little, London, Looper, Lowe, Marr, McCorrell, McElhany, Medcalf, Morgan, Oliver, Osten, Owen, Nance, Nelson, Newberry, Nixon, Pace, Pendergraft, Pilgrum, Poe, Porter, Rainwaters, Risener, Rupe, Rush, Rutherford, Sallis, Scott, Sanderson, Scott, Sewell, Shackelford, Simmons, Slaughter, Smith, Stephens, Stone, Sullivant, Thomas, Traylor, Trotter, Tyler, Wade, Wagoner, Walker, Wall, Walls, Ward, Watkins, Webb, Wells, Wesmoland, Williams, Wineland, Winningham Workman, Wiley, Wilkins, Yancey, Yandell, and others. Many of these were customers of the Lucas General Store, although customers' names have been taken from only one ledger dated 1887-1888. These are by no means the only people who lived in the area. Names will be added as more documents become available.

Some of the names once familiar there were: Greenwood, Haddock, Harwell, Hurt, Pendergraft, Pennington,Slaughter, Slawson, Stringfield, Turner, Wiley, and many more. Names will be added as more information become available.

Health Notes: Awareness Can Be Crucial

This disease is not picky about social class, age, sex, or heritage when it chooses victims. It seems to be an equal opportunity disease that attacks more often than most people realize because we only hear about the severest cases. Relatively few people realize that most victims do not end up in a wheel chair, but it is a devastating disease regardless. Multiple Sclerosis attacks in a multiple ways with multiple degrees of severity. The cause is unknown. As yet there is no cure and a cure is desperately needed.

Women: Fight Breast Cancer. Don't give it a chance!

Don't skip or put off getting your regular mammogram. This simple procedure could save your life. It is amazing how the tiniest irregularity can be detected by a radiologist months before a woman would otherwise discover it. One woman's story.
Do your breast self-exam regularly and report changes to your doctor immediately.
Be sure to visit your gynecologist for an annual physical.
Tell others. Contribute to research. Wear the pink ribbon!

These simple things can help in detecting the earliest existence of a potential health problem. Mammograms, especially, because they can find irregularities when they are most easily treatable and least frightening. It is worth noting, however, according to the latest findings, every woman who has regular exams is sure to have at least one irregular result which may call for more views, possibly even a biopsy. Don't let this frighten you. This merely shows how diligent doctors and radiologists are in working to detect any possible breast cancer in its very earliest stages when it is most curable. Most of these irregularities are not the result of cancer at all, but some are. You owe it to yourself to find out.
