Joseph Caire  

Joseph Caire was born near Paris, France, in 1839.  He came to America 
in 1874, and soon after his arrival moved to Franklin county, Arkansas,
where he married a Miss Belt.  Three children were born to them, Mrs. 
W.H. Morris, of near Watalula; Mrs. Bolin, of Newton county; and John
Caire, of near Mountain Top.  He was well educated, and very industrious,
honest, and kind hearted, looked strictly after his own business and 
let other peoples business severely alone.  He was a devout member of the
Catholic church, believed strong in the Catholic faith.  He passed away
happy, said he was ready and willing to go and meet his God.  Uncle Joe,
as he was called by many, was a self-reliant spirit, and a keen sense 
of justice, was patient, appreciative of kindness and friendship.  He died
