[edit] Trivia
Bentonville is the home of the Anti-Horse Thief Society monument. Like many organizations whose purpose for being established no longer exists, horse thievery is no longer a problem in Adams County. However, the Society continues to exist and hold meetings.
Verna Naylor, a former postmaster of Bentonville, was the oldest postmaster in the nation and the oldest employee of the U.S. Postal Service when she died on July 6, 2010 at the age of 94. She ran the one-person post office from her home for more than 40 years after she took over the position from her husband the former postmaster. [3]
