HISTORICAL PHOTOS SUBMITTED BY JOHN SMITH, PHOENIX, ARIZONA

I came across your information on Mansfield, AR while surfing the internet. My Great-Grandfather, George Smith (8/27/1868 - 5/27/1923), worked for the railroad in Mansfield, AR. My Grandfather, John "Buster" McGinnis Smith (10/1/1904 - 6/21/1974), was born there. I thought you might be interested in these photos.

Regards,
John Smith
