King & Lovie & family were living with them. No Death Certificate at Little Rock, Ark. Vital Stat. INTERVIEW WITH OTTO HOLT: He said both Grandpa & Grandma Holt were Indians. Grandpa Holt went down to the creek one day and a log fell across his breast and he came back up the hill and in a few days he died. He said also that his Grandpa lived with his dad King and mother Lovie. Grandpa Holt didn't talk much but he did go with him to gather weeds (herbs) and such, but grandpa wouldn't tell him how to use them.
LeRoy & I walked (waded) the creek at Blanchart Springs Park, Ark to the Teague/Wallis cemetery in June 2001 where according to the paper work filed with the state park service, Wm S. Bud Holt is buried on the hill with a Rock for a Head stone on No Sylamore Creek. There were 75 to 100 graves marked by stones and about 5-10 with actual head stones.

Notes for NANCY JANE WALLACE:
Nancy & Wm S. (Bud )Holt came by covered wagon from Tenn. She was a full blood Cherokee Indian according to family legend. In an obituary given in 1980's by Luke Moody (granddaughter) she is listed as Nancy Brewer but this is incorrect from the census I learned her name was in fact Wallace. I was told by Grandma Hill when I was growing up that she (Nancy Wallace) grew up on a reservation. and died when she was 106. She was not this old when she died according to legal records. She listed her birth year as 1847 on the 1900 census. I also found her & her parents in the 1860 census in Big Flat, Searcy Ark. Page 271/849. House # 169-161.
IN AN INTERVIEW WITH OTTO HOLT JUNE 1995: He said that Grandma Holt was the best Indian Doctor around. That she would go out into the woods and gather weeds and tie the weeds on to a person to heal them or boil the weeds into a medicine. She is buried in the Stevens Cemetery down the road from 56, Ark. Stone Co. 1 1/2 miles left hand side of road. Sign on left hand sign arrow cut in sign. An Article in the Baxter Co. Bulletin November 19, 1943, under Big Flat news, lists her as 99 years 6 months at death. She died at son King Holt's home and was buried in Stevens Cemetery at 56 in Stone Co. She was the oldest living person in that part of the county at that time.
