Hi Greg;

I will have to call the Melbourne Times office to see if there are
obits available for these men.
I found the following info on Hanley on findagrave.com
Birth: Oct. 14, 1845
Death: Nov. 7, 1935

The Democrat, Mammoth Spring, Arkansas, October 17, 1930

Capt. F. M. Hanley, aged Melbourne attorney, and a veteran of
the war between the states, passed his 85th birthday, Tuesday.

Although just a boy in the war between the States, he has been
called "captain" practically ever since coming to Melbourne in
the late 70s. He was living where he now lives when the tornado
visited Melbourne in the 80s and while his home was destroyed
none of his family were injured.

His friends and neighbors, deciding, perhaps, that one of the best
ways to live long and be happy is to eat and drink, gave Mr. Hanley
various articles of food. A nice watermelon, a can of coffee, a plate
of sausages, a few bananas and a plate of tea cakes were among
the gifts of the kind he received.

F.M. Hanley served on the Confederate Pensions Board for Izard
county for several years, and I have seen his signature on several
applications.

I have visited both cemeteries, although it has been a long time
since I was at the Barren Fork cem. east of Mt. Pleasant.
