Just thought of a couple of leads. You might check the Baxter Bulletin, Mountain Home, Arkansas. Perhaps a note to the paper either by Email, or USPS will get you more information.

The Baxter Bulletin
P.O. Box 1750
Mountain Home, AR 72654-1750

Maybe they still have copies of their Centennial Edition from 2001, which certainly would have mentioned the Dearmores who ran the paper for 23 years.

After leaving the Baxter Bulletin, Tom Dearmore went first to the Washington Star, then back to the Arkansas Gazette (one of the forerunners of today's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette), then on to the San Francisco Examiner as Editorial Page Editor. He retired from the Examiner in 1991.

Reba B. Dearmore was born 26 Apr 26, died in Contra Costa, CA 27 Feb 89.   Her SS number was issued in Missouri.

That's about all I can do at the moment.
