Narrative

Ed and Eliza lived on a bluff over looking the White River in Arkansas not far from Missouri. Ed was a fisherman by traded. From his land on the south side of the river, he built of a stone dam across a shallow of the river a low place in the dam for the outlet or spillway of the water. In this space he made his fish trap of board slats slanting down stream below the dam, spaced wide enough to allow the small fish to pass through and close enough to hold the big fish as the water carried them over the low place in the dam. Ed’s father-in-law James helps in the sale of the fish. James would take the fish from Boone County, Arkansas into Ozark County, Missouri, he and Ed made a good living at this, as for Eliza, she was a mid-wife licensed as such under the laws of the State of Arkansas
