My grandpa, Leonzo Lafayette Karr, was born January 9, 1844 (or 1848) in Choctaw County, Mississippi.  His name has been spelled a variety of ways-Karr, Keer, Carr, and Care.  He was the son of David Karr (b. 1800 in S. C.).  His mother's name is not known.
Grandpa moved to Clark County, Arkansas sometime between 1850 and 1860.  At the age of 14, he served as a drummer boy for the Confederate Army.  
Grandpa Karr was first married June 16, 1864 in Clark County to Louiza Jane White (b. 1848, Clark Co.) Leonzo and Louiza were only 16 years old when they married.  They had two children, Julia and David Eli (my papa).  Papa was about 18 months old when their mother died, and for a while Aunt Julia and Papa lived with their Grandmother White.
June 26, 1871 Grandpa Karr married Cynthia Elvira White (b. 1853, Clark Co; d. 1874).  Louiza Jane and Cynthia were the daughters of Eli J. White (a Cherokee) and Louisa Pettit, daughter of Dr. Lee and Ester or  Easter (Bourns) Pettit.
Grandpa Karr and Cynthia were the parents of Nathan (b. 1873) and Demecia (Mecia) (b. 1874, Clark Co.).  Aunt Mecia married Josiah Manly Clover.
Thirdly, Grandpa Karr was married February 14, 1875 to Nancy Frances Pebsworth (b. 18 Sep 1853, AR).  Nancy was the daughter of Joi and Bettie Clover Pebsworth.  Nancy was my step-grandma and the only Grandma Karr I ever knew.
In 1889 L. L. Karr, G. W. Barr and W. A. Little were trustees for a church building northwest of Oak Grove in Clark County for the "Baptists, Methodist and Presbyterians to use the same for organizing their respective churches and for the purpose of worshiping God by them."  Grandpa owned 80 acres of land in the same section where the church was located.
Grandpa and Grandma Karr moved to Sevier County before moving into Indian Territory.  In July 1902 Grandpa's wife Nancy F. and their children:  Lon, Jr., Louise Franklin, and Rosie Draper were identified as Mississippi Choctaws.  They each received 320 acres of Indian land in Oklahoma.
My grandparents, Leonzo and Nancy, lived about four or five miles from Boswell with Uncle Lon's land joining their farm on the north.  Both families had nice big houses when our family moved to Oklahoma in 1906.
The schoolhouse was on Uncle Lon's acres and was called Karr Schoolhouse.  In September 1906, my older brothers, Jim, Ed, and Dee and my sister, Josie, went to school there.
Returning for a visit to DeQueen after an absence of five years, L. L. Karr was "much surprised at the progress the town had made."
We moved back to Sevier County in December 1915, and in January papa rented a place at Geneva and moved our family there.
In the late spring papa saw two or three covered wagons coming up the road.  We were wondering who they were when papa yelled, "It's Pa and Ma!"  Sure enough it was Grandpa and Grandma and Uncle Lon with his family.  Papa was surprised.  He wasn't expecting them, and didn't know they had sold their pretty homes and land at Boswell.  But the clan always stuck together and one Karr followed another.
They bought adjoining farms with fairly nice houses in Frog Level.  Uncle Lon only lived about four years after moving back to Arkansas.  He had double pneumonia and died March 19, 1920.
Leonzo (Lon) Karr, Jr. (b. 17 Mar 1884) married Vassie Pebsworth May 27, 1904 at Durant, Oklahoma.  They had seven children:  Nina Virgie, Ollie Mae, Mrvin, Leroy, Lidia, Randolph, and Lonzo.
Grandpa and Grandma Karr eventually sold their place at Frog Level and rented a place east of Horatio so their grandchildren could live with them.
June 23, 1925 my mother, Bettie Karr, got her first big car (automobile).  My husband, Inon Clements, was teaching Mama to drive, so Mama and Papa, Inon, our two little boys, Bo and Buster, and I drove to Grandpa and Grandma Karr's house between De Queen and Horatio.  Grandpa walked all over his place showing off his truck patches to Papa and Inon.  He said, "Inon, get a sack from under the shed and we will get cucumbers so Agnes can make pickles."
We had dinner with them and I helped Grandma Nancy make dinner and I made a cake.  We ate and Papa and Inon had cake but Grandpa didn't, and Grandma (always called him Darlin') said, "Darlin', aren't you going to have some cake?"  He said, "Now you know I don't like cake."  She told him that he ought to be ashamed because Agnes made that cake.  He said, "All right, pass it here."  And he ate a piece--the last thing he ever ate.
We visited on their big front porch until about 4 p.m. and went home.  It had only been a little over an hour since we left Grandpa Karr sitting on the porch when we received a message that he was dead.  He had a heart attack and died in their outdoor privy June 23, 1925.  He was buried in Clear Creek Cemetery.  Grandma Nancy Karr died May 19, 1934 at Blanchard in Grandy County, OK.
