🌟 We're spending the month of August helping the City of Springdale 🔎 locate photos of certain past mayors missing from its 🗃️ archives. We’re hoping someone can help. One of them is Charles Smyer, who served as mayor in 1918 and oversaw the city during. He gave his resignation, effective that November, as he was contemplating joining the military, presumably to join forces in World War I. Though he had already fought in the Spanish-American War, it's not clear if he ever served in the military again. He died in 1944 and is buried in the Leavenworth National Cemetery in Kansas. Shown here is his mother, Martha Cline Smyer, sitting in front of her home on Emma Avenue in Springdale in the mid-1930s.

✨ Some 45 years ago, these people posed for this photo at the Chi Omega Greek Theatre 🎭 at the University of Arkansas 🎓. Who are they? We bet somebody knows!

🌟 In case you missed it, we announced earlier this week that we’re helping the City of Springdale 🔎 locate photos of certain past mayors missing from its 🗃️ archives. We’re hoping someone in the public might be able to help. Today, we’re looking for images of Mayor Paul Butler, who served from 1928-1930. Our research indicates there was a Paul Bevans Butler who lived from 1864-1945 and was a lawyer in Springdale in 1920. Though we don’t have a photo, we do have one of the Springdale Fire Department from this time, which Butler likely oversaw.
