Burns-Burns-Smith Family Legacy
Dr. Joe and Ava Burns, of 1305 S. Main, were influential in Jonesboro.
Dr. Burns and Dr. Lutterloh invited nuns from Pocahontas to help malaria patients, leading to the founding of St. Bernard's Hospital. Ava co-founded the Twentieth Century Club.
Their son, Joe, and his wife, Eva Sue Burns, lived at 1515 S. Main.
In 1983, Joe received the Pioneer Award for his contributions to Arkansas' rice industry, including helping bring Riceland Foods to Jonesboro in 1933. Eva Sue was named "Woman of the Year" in 1959.
Their children—Ann (Dick) Smith, Larry (Sandra) Burns, and Carol (Wes) Smelley—became influential figures.
Ann and Dick Smith raised two sons, Richard and Mike, at 1223 West Matthews Ave. Richard became a doctor in Little Rock, while Mike preserved the family's history. Dick owned Smith Feed Mill, and Ann, a teacher, founded Jonesboro’s Alternative School system. After her father’s passing and a divorce, she moved in with her mother at 1515 S. Main.
During the estate sale process, 41 boxes of historical items were discovered, along with antique 19th-century furnishings preserved in Mike's home. Below is a list of these treasures.
