History of Haworth

Crossroads, OK RoadyGoat

Crossroads, Oklahoma, nestled in the Ouachita Mountains of McCurtain County, might seem like just another quiet spot where the pines meet the hardwood forests. But this Lowland South community has seen its share of notable figures. While no presidents or outlaws walked these particular streets, Crossroads sent its sons and daughters out to make their names in other fields. The area's rich timber history shaped many early lives, fostering a spirit of hard work and independence. That legacy helped produce more than one state-level football star, and musicians who carried their mountain melodies to wider audiences.

Foreman, AR RoadyGoat

Foreman, Arkansas, owes its existence to the railroad, a lifeline that carved its way across the flat landscape, establishing the town in 1899 and naming it for a railroad foreman. At 351 feet above sea level, the land around Foreman remains fertile, supporting the cattle and timber industries that still define much of the local economy. It's a place where the pace is slow, and community ties run deep, a far cry from the roar of the Dallas Cowboys, their nearest major sports connection, some 150 miles away.

Foreman, AR RoadyGoat

Foreman, Arkansas, a town sprung from the railroad in 1899, felt the tremors of change ripple through its quiet landscape just a few years ago, though not from the earth itself. The closure of the local lumber mill, a mainstay of the economy for generations, sent shockwaves through the community. Cattle farming had always been a reliable foundation, but the mill provided steady jobs for many families, its rhythmic hum a constant backdrop to life in the flat, fertile land. The loss wasn't just economic; it chipped away at the town's identity, a tangible symbol of the hardships felt during the Great Depression resurfacing in a new guise. The void left by the mill has forced Foreman to consider its future. While some residents have found work in nearby towns, others are looking inward, exploring new avenues for economic growth. The community's strong sense of togetherness, forged through years of shared experiences and Friday night football games cheering on the Foreman Gators, is being tested, but it also provides a solid foundation for navigating this new chapter. The Dallas Cowboys may be the closest big city distraction, but for now, Foreman is focused on rebuilding its own team.

English Cemetery

1852

In 1852, Oliver English, and his uncle, Simeon English, brought three families and 30 slaves from Missouri to establish plantations in the area. They crossed the Red River at what was then known as the mill creek crossing and travelled the Mill Creek Road until they came to the farm of Rev. William Duke. In this area they opened a 2,000-acre plantation, and Oliver English built a home and store at the heart of his namesake community. The first church was built soon after an 1859 deed to the land. The English Store became a trading center for a wide area with many people crossing the Red River to buy there. Before it burned in 1983, it was one of the oldest continuously operating businesses in the county. The English Cemetery, also known as Williams Chapel Cemetery, is the final resting place for generations of citizens, including military veterans from the Civil War through the Vietnam War. The earliest unmarked burial is believed to be that of John Aikin, who was born circa 1756 and died before 1849. The earliest identifiable grave is that of Margaret Alvey Dunagan, one of the charter members of the community church, who died in 1865. Oliver English, Rev. T. W. Anderson and his wife, Columbia, and A. J. Williams, all early settlers of the English community, are also buried here. The general landscape of English Cemetery is traditional in nature. Graves are oriented east and west, and gravestones are predominantly granite, limestone and marble, with a few surviving markers in wood. Tombstone detailing reflects fraternal orders including woodmen of the world and masonic orders. The English Cemetery society organizes an annual homecoming to raise funds and awareness for the maintenance of this historic burial ground.
