    3. I'm researching the Barr families from Carroll County, Iowa. I have quite a bit of information but am looking for the following two things in particular: 1. The Carroll Times article from the latter part of October, 1903, written by Andrew or Matthew Barr regarding their two month voyage to Scotland to view their mother's grave. A subsequent article by a Mr. Graham in the Nov. 3 issue of the Carroll Times refers to the article written by "Mr. Barr". 2. The birth of a son to Duncan Barr and unknown female in Manning, IA. 1875-1900 time frame. Duncan died in Hartington, NE in 1926. Before his death, he asked that his son be named in his will, but the search for him was unsuccessful. The son's name was not mentioned in the probate papers, only that he had been born in Manning, IA. Any help would be greatly appreciated and would be happy to pay for time and copies. TIA. Jean Don't go where the path leads - rather go where there is no path and leave a trail!
