The following is believed to contain a complete list of all the preachers who have been connected with the itineracy in Arkansas to 1886. The figures on the left indicate the year they commenced traveling ; those at the right the pe- riod at which they died, or located, or transferred, or with- drew from the Church or were expelled. If there are no figures to the right the preacher is still in one of the Arkan- sas Conferences, and his appointment may be found in Ap- pendix D.
The following abbreviations are used : " d." for dead, " l." for located, " tr." for transferred, " dis." for discontinued,. " ex." for expelled and "un." for unknown. There are a few instances in which, from some defect in the minutes, the writer could not ascertain the exact date or manner of dis- posal, and in that case has used the abbreviation " un." for unknown.
