Orville Crawford Word and his wife Eliza Hays Word lived in Ft. Smith in 1860 where he was a well-to-do merchant. Eliza's cousin, Col. Upton Hays, 2nd MO CAv stayed with them in sometimes in 1861/1862 when he wasn't recruiting in or chasing off Jayhawkers in Jackson Co., MO. I'm having difficulty searching for CW records of the Word family because "word" is too common a word. Any help will be appreciated.
