First baby of Benton County
Amid a huge array of gifts from the Siloam Springs Memorial Hospital and area sponsors, tiny Dallas Alexander Mouse nestles in his mother’s arms just before leaving the hospital Jan. 2.
The baby was the first baby of the New Year born at the hospital and in Benton County, and the first child of Jaqueta and Jacob Mouse of Gravette.
