THOUGHT IT WASN'T LOADED=Ed Hodges, shoots and accidentally kills his cousin, Albert Bird. One of the most deplorable and distressing accidents, which has happened in our county in many a day, occurred on Wednesday morning about eight o'clock, Aug.28,1901, at the home of Mr.& Mrs.A.Bird, a well known and prosperous planter of Franks township, in the Yocona neighborhood, in which his eldest son, Albert Jr., aged ten years. was shot and killed by his cousin, Ed Hodges. Mr.Bird had come back from a ride on the farm, and Ed was holding the gun, while his son held the horse, he went into the house cautioning Ed not to play with the gun, as he went in the house the gun went off. The remains were interred in the Yocona cemetery Wednesday evening. FORREST CITY TIMES

I have researching and I think I have found the Parents of Albert Bird -
Father: Aaron Bird - #16847925
Mother: Maggie Bird - #16847924

I searched the 1900 Census and it listed the cousins names
I hope it is ok that I wrote this for you.
it is that I knew that Vivian Pearl Bird wasn't his Mother.
Thanks again,
