From a phone conversation with Floyd Warner (January 9, 1994):
	Grandpa Warner -- when I speak of that, I'm speaking about my grandfather. Grandpa Warner was a farmer in East Arkansas. He farmed a big farm near where his father had homesteaded land, and he and a man went into partnership in the mercantile business -- they had a big mercantile business in Gray Station, Arkansas. It's not there any longer -- it's long since been torn down. They sold out their farm -- Grandpa sold his farm and the man that he was in partnership with -- a man by the name of Sheldon, sold the mercantile business, went over to West Arkansas to Booneville and built a building on Main Street and put in a mercantile business. And my grandfather bought a farm, the south of town about five or six miles out of Booneville on the Petty Jean River. Put a beautiful house on it -- I've seen it -- for that day and time it would have been really a quality home, right after the turn of the century. So Mr. Sheldon got to playing the cotton futures, and my grandfather woke up one morning flat busted! He packed up the family, and moved back to East Arkansas and began to farm again in the delta country and finally made enough money to buy a farm at Cabot, Arkansas which is about twenty miles or twenty-five miles out of Little Rock...
