BRIEF HISTORY OF JAMES KNOX POKE CROSSNO by Great Grandson John Wesley
Crossno, Jr. (written circa 1979)
James Knox Polk Crossno, my great-grandfather, lived most of his life around
Etna, Ark. The latter part of his life, as well as that of his wife Sally,
was spent in a house just south of Etna on the right side of the road as you
drive towards Caulksville, Ark., on Highway 23. The old house still stands
today; it has gray shingles for siding and a tin roof (rusted) with an old
outhouse in the back. (No longer there 1979)
James K.P. Crossno was a farmer most of his life. He followed in the
footsteps of his father Isaac Crossno. Matter of fact, when he married Sarah
L. Kuykendall in 1867, his father granted him forty acres of land, as Isaac
did his other sons as they married.
Polk, as well as his father, Isaac, and his older brother, Samuel Jasper,
fought in the Civil War on the side of the Confederacy. Polk was assigned to
a unit which fought in Georgia. On one particular occasion, Polk's outfit
was once surrounded by Yankees with its back to a flooded river. They had
the decision to make whether to surrender to the Yankees, fight it out to
the end, or face the raging river and try to swim to the other side to avoid
capture. Well, the unit decided to try the river; Polk managed to make it to
the other side, but others were not so fortunate. Another experience of
Polk's was the time when his outfit surprised and annihilated a Yankee
outfit at night. They attacked the Yankees around midnight and almost wiped
them out to a man with only a few Yankees managing to escape.
After the Civil War was over, Polk returned to Franklin Co., Ark. A few
years later on Feb. 17, 1867, he married his only wife, Sarah Lavanda
Kuykendall. From this marriage, nine children were born. These children are
enumerated above (see family pages).
Polk not only was a farmer but also a cargo carrier. Once when he was coming
across the ferry at Roseville, Ark., his wagon and team, along with its
cargo, slipped into the river. Polk jumped in and managed to save wagon,
team, and cargo, coming up finally on the Roseville side of the river a mile
or so down the river.
In his later life, Polk was a peddler who went around the countryside
selling and bartering all kinds of goods. The older people today in 1978
knew Polk well when they were children (all of the children called him
"Uncle Polk"); they even remember buying Cracker Jacks from him. As Polk
drove around the countryside, he often spent the nights staying with
different people; however, most of them were related to him. His wife,
Sally, often traveled around with him, and they made quite a pair. He was
tall and thin, and she was almost as wide as he was tall. It was often
described how funny they looked as they rode down the road together, Sally
weighing down one side of the wagon. Polk died in 1920 and Sally in 1926.
Both are buried at the Crossno Cemetery not far from Etna. It is called the
Crossno Cemetery, because Polk donated the land it is located on. (7)
