The Searcy County Historical Society will meet Friday, July 26, at 7:00 pm, in Marshall’s First Christian Church. James Johnston will give a survey of Orville McInturff and his writings. Orville McInturff had an interesting variety of interests: as a builder, a politician and as Searcy County’s first historian. He is known for his books: “Searcy County, My Dear: A History of Searcy County, Arkansas” and “A History of Searcy County Schools, and their relation to the economic development of the county.” But he also wrote the results of his other research, which was never published. Johnston will read some of his other writings, as well as tell some of his reminiscences of Orville. Others will be invited to tell their memories of Orville.
