Hi, I have a book - "Johnny Miller or Truth and Perseverance" by Felix Weiss. On inside cover is handwritten in pencil - Bayard Barlou Xmas 1884. Barlom could be Barton/Barlou/Barlou or Burton. In the back of the book has dates of 1942, 1943 and 1944. On one page is listed "Babie Bonds: Series E. On other page is listed "Cam Bonds". Is this anyone's ancestors? No luck finding Bayard Barlom on the 1880 census so far. My grandmother, Rita Wheeler McDermott, had the book. She was from Macoupin County, IL. Happy Hunting, Kathie
