Russ Our family left Lincoln County in much the same fashion. There were at least 20 family members that made the exodus. I am almost sure that the economics of the late 1930's played the card that led to their adventure of moving to Oregon. I often think of what life was like for my family in Kansas and the closeness that they must have shared to ALL (3 Generations) relocate some 1500 miles to the west. Here is a list of my Woody family from Barnard: 1 Henry WOODY 1880 - 1949 +Edith CROWL 1886 - 1967 2 Wanda WOODY +Spouse 2 Wilma WOODY +Spouse 2 Kathryn WOODY +Spouse 2 Frank WOODY 1903 - 1979 +Spouse 2 Nellie Ellen WOODY 1906 - Unknown +Keith Fisher SAUNDERS 1901 - 1980 3 Donna Louise SAUNDERS 1928 - +William Doris LAKEY 1925 - 3 Doris LaVaughn SAUNDERS 1930 - +Russell Ethridge JOHNSTON 1925 - 3 Gladwyn Phil SAUNDERS 1936 - 2 Alex Lenard WOODY 1908 - 1967 +Margaret Mary BOWLIN 1911 - 1972 3 Donald WOODY 1932 - My great grandfather Henry Woody came to Lincoln County in the late 1800's to be with his brother Aaron Benjamin (Ben) Woody who arrived earlier. Ben is buried at Milo cemetery in Barnard. I sometimes speculate that the Lincoln county farm just couldn't support two very large families during tough times. I would love to sometime make contact with Ben Woody and Ada Harper's down line. Their children were Warren, Maymie, Velma, Clayton, Taft, Helen and Maxine. From what I hear, most of their children still live in Lincoln County. While I am still very long winded this evening, I would like to say that this email list has been very enjoyable and thanks to the folk's that administer it. Some list's that I subscribe to you get a feel of "Just the Facts, Please" sort of atmosphere. While we must try and stay on topic, it is the stories of our past that bind us together. Hats off to Bill, Diana and Tracee Good Night to All, Mike Woody
