According to Arkansas Lynching list href="http://www.cals.lib.ar.us/butlercenter/abho/bib/LYNCHINGS.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.cals.lib.ar.us/butlercenter/abho/bib/LYNCHINGS.pdf {reference only} on Aug 9,1916
a black male {name unreported} was lynched in

Arkansas County is a neighboring unit of
Phillips County. Coincidence?
