Arkansas Confederate Pension listed Peter as serving in the Cavalry in the state of Texas. His wife applied for the benefit in 1905 after his death.

Pete moved to the Arkansas in 1866 Evansville area and build a home on Evansville Creek. Census records list a Luginbull, E, 43, Male, Ohio; Luginbull, M.E., 32, Female, Missouri and Luginbull, E, Female, Nebraska. From there he moved to the Cane Hill Community, Washington County, Arkansas. He helped build the McClelland home. This home has been restored and now in excellent condition and now a historical site. From Cane Hill he moved to the Salem Springs Community near Dutch Mills, AR and built a home and a log barn. Peter was also a mineral prospector and a shaft was sunk on the mountainside near the old Salem Spring school in hopes of finding ore. This can still be seen in the underground, but ore was not found. The name Luginbyhl was retained and was on his marker in the White Rock Cemetery near Dutch Mills, AR.

Peter Luginbyhl was listed in "Arkansas Confederate Pension Index". It was noted that Confederate Soliders need not have served in Arkansas, but another state.

The spelling of the name was changed in 1900 to Luginbuel. Peter Luginbuhl Name was never changed.

THE PETER LUGINBUEL / LUGINBYHL WASHINGTON COUNTY HISTORY by Anna Luginbuel / Luginbyhl Venable

Peter Luginbuel (spelled Luginbyhl earlier) and wife came from Switzerland after 1850. They stopped in the Morrow, Arkansas area for a shore while, then came to Salem Springs, and lived there until their death. Mr. Luginbuel was a mineral prospector and a shaft was sunk on the mountainside near the old Salem Spring school in hopes of finding ore. This can still be seen in the undergrowth but ore was not found here.

Peter’s son, Bert, married Daisy Kimbrough and lived on the original homestead all their lives and Bert’s daughter, Mrs. Anna Venable, and husband now own this homestead.

Peter’s son, Charlie, married Mary Watson and moved to Dutch Mills. Here they reared their family and operated a

general store until they retired to Lincoln.

Daughter Mary Elizabeth (Mollie) married Samuel Choate and daughter Anna T. Married Charlie R Reed from the Fly Creek community. Both the Choates and Reeds reared their families near Salem. Joseph P. Reed married Myrtle Hargrove and lived on a farm here for some time, then bought a stock farm near Summers, Arkansas, and lived there until his death in 1966. Elbert, better known as Ebb Reed, Still lives near Salem.

A Mr. Malloy came quite early and was killed by bushwhacker during the Civil War and was buried on the Joe Reed farm now owned by Mr. Ryan. He was buried by two women, Mrs. Armstrong and Mrs. Watson. A stone marks his

grave.

John Armstrong and wife, Catharine, two sons, Hugh and Peyton, were here by 1864. Peyton lived near White Rock.

His son, Hugh, married Sarah Ellen Webb. He became a Methodist minister but before he could belong to the Quarterly Conference he must have a recommendation. Having been raised near Rev. Webber, a German who spoke

with a strong accent, he asked him to recommend him. Rev. Webber told the conference, ‘ Well, I had not heard him ‘breach’ but I had heard him ‘bray’ and he brays a pretty good Bayer.’Rev. Hugh was a accepted and became a wellknown

gospel preacher through out northwest Arkansas. ( This story was told to me by Rev. Armstrong’s daughter, Mrs. Claudia Reed.) Peyton’s daughter, Sadie married Frank Malloy. Annie married Robert Roy. Martha married

Logan Kirk, and Mary married G.T. Grooms and then a Moore.

Thomas Moore and wife Sarah, sons Dave, Gum, and Han, came. When the boys grew up, they moved to Cincinnati and put in a large grist mill just east of there. It was known as Moor’s Mill thru-out the country for many Years.

Mrs. Watson could not remember who might have been the earliest school teachers, but she does remember a Professor Pitman, Mell Goddard, Mr. Armstrong, Charlie Rhodes, and later Miss Laura Houston. Miss Myrtle Hargrove taught about 1911 and 1912, then married Joe Reed. Miss Ruth Allison taught in 1918, and Mrs. Hope Leach Rauch taught several terms here, and taught the last school, then it was moved to the Bert Luginbuel Farm to a more central location. This school consolidated with the Lincoln school system about 1924.

Two Watson brothers came but probably not until about 1860. Samuel married Lucinda F. Kipp and had six children: Mary, who married Charlie Luginbuel , Callie married John Bost, Ana Liza married John Sharp, Clemmie married Henry Jobe, Thomas married Grace Moss, and Maggie married Walter Hunter. The Hunters had two children: Everett, and Velma McGuire who taught many years at Bacone College and now resides in Stigler, Oklahoma. Mary and Charlie had six children, Lawrence, who married Luna Hilton, was in the barber business in Lincoln most of his life, Reed married Lola Norwood and he and his brother Jeff are in the funeral home business in Vinita, Oklahoma. Albert, who lived near Lincoln, was in the broiler business; he marred Ethel Martin. Loyd, who married Edna Rankin, owns a funeral home in Lincoln and Prairie Grove, where his son Loyd Wayne is associated with him. Lolita made her home until her death in California.

Martin Watson married Edna Jane Carter in 1886. Their children were Albert, who married Lue Fields; Allen married Ann Williams and Henry married Sallie Rich. Martin Watson gave land for the Methodist Church and this building was also used for the school at Salem. His wife, and daughter Eldora, and probably may others, were baptized in the Salem Springs branch near the school.

Benjamin Fields ( see photo on opposite page) came with his family later than most pioneers and bought the hotel from Russell Bates. Here he reared 17 children. His wife, Nancy Phillips, and he both had previous marriages with four children, and they had 13 of their own. Their daughter, Ruth, married Ben Jones, Fannie married Billie Choate, Laura married Willis Choate, Lue married Albert Watson, Ellen married Dick Wright, Ollie married a Hicks, Emma married a Steven. All the girls were marred at home in the Bates hotel. Some were married by a minister while at times one was married by Justice of Peace if no minister was available. Logan Kirk and James Payne were both Justices of Peace. Benjamin Fields was a blacksmith by trade and his son George worked with him as he grew to manhood. There were three other boys: Robert, Curl and Thomas. Benjamin Fields was the last postmaster in Salem when the office was discontinued in 1905 and a mail route established.

Robert and Frances Stout lived near White Rock and had nine children. Walter married Dora Little, Taylor married Mattie Little, Osborn married Annie Douthit, Maud married Buster Rogers, Emma married a Fiddler, Della married John Douthit, Dee married Billy Hickman, Ruth married Charlie Webber, Barbra married Jim Moore. At one time during the business boom there were as many as 14 places of business, a saw mill, livery stable and barber shop. Many farmers grew orchards where today only grain, cattle, and broilers are found. A Business Directory of Washington County, 1900, listed the following: J.W. and S.C. Choate (now spelled with an ‘E’ ), masons; Ben P. Fields, blacksmith; G.W. Jones, general store and postmaster; and J.P. Payne, Justice of Peace. The population was 75 with mail daily. The advent of the Kansas City Southern railway into Westville, Oklahoma, and the Frisco into Summers, Arkansas, drew the trade of many early settlers from the Salem area and like other small early villages, they are no more. But much early history of Washington County was made in just this way by hearty pioneers. Their many descendants, some still living in the area and others in faraway places, can be justly proud of them.
