Pea Ridge Arkansas, ca 1914
The big white bldg. at the end of the street is the hotel that the Martins gave Gertie (Woods) and Luther Martin
as a wedding present. They married in 1916. They traded within the family for farm property. Shortly after
that it burned down. In the future my grandfather's (Luther) store will be located in the area where the crowd is.
