If you want to talk with someone about the cem. in Newton Co., Ritchey, Mo. near the Holiness Church. You need to talk to Robert (Bob) N. Randolph. He attends and some preaches there. He is a very nice man. He use to drive a bus and teach at the Granby Elem. School. I think that his wife still does. I won't give out his number but you can look it up. He has a Granby, Mo. number but is address is Ritchey. I know that he will help with any information or will know who to ask. Fred D.

Dear Fred and List, Well if you do some what know him then you would be the perfect person to call him. I was thinking about this earlier and it would really benefit the state to get involved because genealogy does bring people to different states......i.e.......money spent in states by people that come from other states to search for family. What are others ideas on this? With Best Regards Victoria Brittain Allen ----- Original Message ----- From: Fred D.

Sure I'll talk to him. Now what all do I need to ask him. I'ave got on bits and pieces of this discussion. Bob was my bus driver for about 10 years. Give me some ideas if you all would think that it would help, my family and I will visit the Holiness Church Sunday morning and I'll ask several people from the church. Fred D.
