COMMENTS:

Thomas T. Moore owned land in northern Union Parish about 0.5 miles south of the Arkansas 
line. Specifically, Moore's farm was located in the N 1/2 of Section 10, Township 23 North, 
Range 1 West. It was then located about six or seven miles northeast of Cherry Ridge. Today, 
it is located a few miles northwest of the Laran community (but Laran did not exist then). 

This office is located very near the Lone Well post office established some years later.
