Hey Karen, Hold them horses!! I'm trying to put the stuff together. For you who can't wait, appears Albert Sandel Barrett was the son of my great uncle Arthur Barrett and wife May Roberts. His father Arthur was Perry Lysander's youngest brother, and my grandmother Ritha Ann Barrett Tingle's youngest brother, all being children of William Grant and Harriet Young Barrett. Oneil Buckman worked on this family (Arthur & May's) for months. Their last living child, Elenor Grace Barrett Troncalli died 4 July 2002 Oneil wrote by email 15 July 2002. We didn't have Sandel's vital data other than census 1910 & 1920. Thank you, Ann Cummings for that as of yesterday. I think the orphanage you spoke of was probably the Masonic Children's home in Meridian which is now closed. Not long ago we were in touch with them for info on great uncle Burton David's children who were there in the 1940s I think. Can't remember all the dates now. Arthur joined the Cadeville Lodge No. 229, Cadeville, Ouachita Parish, LA (1904-1913). He was Secretary in 1907. This courtesy of Oneil Buckman (email June 28, 2000). Arthur Barrett, b. 14 Nov 1873, Neshoba Co, MS; died 24 June 1923, in Egremont, Sharkey Co, MS, which is south of Rolling Fork. Was buried there. His wife May ROBERTS, b. abt 1884 in LA, survived Arthur; don't have her death date. They married about 1900 in LA. I have 9 children for them: Ethel Barrett, son, (1901-1983) d. West Monroe, LA.; + Zeima W. Cheney Marvin Barrett, son, (1902-1943), d. Vicksburg, MS; + Lera Adeline Gaston R.T. Barrett, son, (1904-1975, d Warner Robins, GA; + Beatrice Barrett (sic) Arbert Barrett, dau., (1906-1994), d Ville Platte, Evangeline Parish, LA; + Kent Thompson. Albert Sandel Barrett, son (1907-1959), d Ft Benning, GA; + Janie Smith William Grant Barrett, son, (1910-1965), d Houston, Harris, TX, unmarried? Rutha May Barrett, dau., (1912-1931), d Meridian, Lauderdale Co, MS Arthur Lee Barrett, son, (1914-1983), d McComb, Pike Co, MS; + Ethel Spencer Elenor Grace Barrett, dau, (1918-2002), d place not given; m-1) Hiram Beam; m-2) Joseph Troncalli. - - -- -- - - - - - - -END FAMILY Cousin Oneal put in a lot of time, effort and $ to gather info on this family. Many thanks Oneal. One question for Ann C. Did you (or your family member) get Sandel's dates from his tombstone at Parkhill? Everyone, let's remember Janet in our prayers. She has brought this big Barrett family together through her work and devotion to duty. There may be bits more about Arthur later. If any of you can add anything, please let me have a copy. Thanks.
