This video includes highlights of an interview with Stanley Williams recorded in March, 2024 for the Benton County (AR) Oral History Project.
He grew up in the Glade Community in Northeast Benton County and attended the Coal Gap School. His childhood home had to be moved because of the filling of Beaver Lake. The many benefits of the lake outweigh the hardships caused by the many farm families misplaced by Beaver Lake
He recalls what it was like growing up on a farm and living out of jars of all types of feed in the cellar. He said that with pigs, they "canned everything but the squeal."
His sister, Pat Heck, led an effort to move a former Glade Post Office from the family farm in Pea Ridge back to the Glade Community, where it currently serves as a museum near the Coal Gap School.
The Benton County Historical Preservation Commission funded this interview and oral history project about the Glade and Garfield Communities with a grant in 2024. The commission funded similar projects in 2022 and 2023. The interviewer and video editor for these projects is Scott F. Davis of Davis Videos.
