If you're ever going to love me

Love me know, while I can know

All the sweet and tender feelings

Which from real affection flow

Love me now while I am living

Do not wait till I am gone

And then chisel it in marble... Warm

Love words on ice - cold stone.

If you've dear, sweet thoughts about

Me, why not whisper them to me.

Don;t you know 'twould make me happy

And glad as glad could be

If you wait till I am sleeping

Ne'er to waken here again.

There'll be walls of earth between us

And I couldn't hear you then.

So if you love me any,

If it's but a little bit,

Let me know it now while living,

I can own and treasure it.

But now if you hold your head up

And whisper out loud

Your words will come to me

Brought by angels in the clouds.

So don't look upon the ground

And shed tears for me

For I am with my father

In Heaven for all eternity.

And when the day draws near

And it's your turn to come home

I'll be waiting for you here

Standing by God's golden throne.

God Saw He Was Getting Tired And A Cure Was Not To Be

So He Put His Arms Around Him And Whispered Come With Me

With Tearful Eyes God Watched Him Suffer

And Slowly Fade Away Although He Loved Him Dearly

He Did Not Let Him Stay

A Golden Heart Stopped Beating Hard Working Hands At Rest

God Only Wanted To Prove To Me He Only Takes The Best

The Murder Of Nellie Moneyhun

Located at Friendship Cemetery in Springdale, AR.

Nellie Susan

Dau of J.G. & L.A. Moneyhun

Born Dec 18, 1887

Killed Feb 2, 1913

Her happy soul has winged its way

To one pure, bright, eternal day.

No pain, no grief, no anxious fear

Can reach thepeaceful sleeper here.

*********************

The following informatin was taken form Deathpenalty.

Broken Heart End On GallowsIt was a story of unrequited love.

Omer Davis, 18, of Springdale, loved his teacher, Miss Nellie Moneyhun. He misinterpreted her attention and kindness toward him as romantic interest. The teacher was engaged to marry Sam Claypool. Davis was devastated when Nellie told the school children her plans.

Davis went to the Moneyhun home to visit Nellie the evening of Feb. 2, 1913. He tried to convince her to marry him instead of Claypool. He talked with Nellie and her parents for some time.

Davis asked Nellie to step into the vestibule. He drew a .38 pistol from his coat pocket and shot her in the forehead. She fell into the living room and into her father's arms. She died instantly.

Davis then tried, unsuccessfully, to kill himself. He suffered a bullet wound to the forehead.

When J.G. Moneyhun approached Davis, who was on the floor, Davis raised the gun to shoot him. Moneyhun grabbed the pistol and the hammer fell on the flesh between his thumb and forefinger, but failed to fire. He wrestled the revolver away from Davis, grabbed a shotgun and fired it into the air. Davis ran away. He was later caught by a posse outside Springdale.

Davis said at his trial that the shooting was an accident. His attorneys argued he was mentally incompetent and too young to be tried as an adult. Some newspaper accounts described Davis as a "dull-minded creature."

The jury convicted him May 10, 1913, and the judge sentenced him to death.

A crowd gathered by 5 a.m. outside the jail to watch the execution on Sept. 11, 1913.

Davis ate a hearty breakfast, then deputies escorted him from his jail cell, though a bathroom window and directly onto the scaffolding.

Davis, wearing a blue shirt, striped overalls, tan socks and a new pair of shoes, reportedly showed no remorse or emotion.

His final words: "I want you all to meet me in heaven, for I am going there."

Rev. Marion Nelson Waldrip said a prayer. Deputies fitted Davis with a black hood and 2-inch-thick rope.

Sheriff Sam Caudle sprung the trap at 6:39 a.m. Davis fell about 6 feet. His neck was broken. The body was allowed to hang for about 15 minutes before being cut down and taken to a funeral home.

The Washington County Sheriffs Office provided a floral wreath.

The rope, hood and gallows were sent back to the state penitentiary in Little Rock.

Davis was the last of 18 men hanged with the 2-inch rope and his was the last scheduled legal public hanging in Arkansas.

The state took over all executions from counties the same year and changed the method of death to electrocution.
