List Readers, here is one that some of you might have been looking for. Callaway Funeral Home listed him as B. H. Maas. It was a lucky day when Phyllis Long found him in the death certificates listed as Benjamin Herman Moss. And yes, the death dates and place of burial match. It appears from the death certificate that his name was Moss, but I am curious if any of you have him listed as Maas as he was transcribed in Callaway Funeral Home records. I think maybe he is incorrectly listed in Callaway so I changed the spelling on our pages from Maas to Moss. but If we have it wrong, please do let us know. Benjamin was born in Jefferson City in Cole County, and is buried in Kings Prairie Cemetery - New Liberty Cemetery. As you probably already know that cemetery is really Kings Prairie Cemetery and is located at New Liberty Church but we have it on line as New Liberty Cemetery.  I inherited it named incorrectly but haven't changed it. I suppose it should be changed to read correctly but would mean changing a lot of files and the directory, too, to do so. Oh, and some interesting trivia - a cemetery that is next to a church is called a graveyard and one without a church is really called a cemetery. We have all of ours in Barry County listed as cemeteries - but that is also correct, I think - well, anyway, I hope so. *smile* Anyway, for those of you who have been looking for Benjamin, you owe Phyllis Long a big thank you for finding him in the death certificates.  http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/cemetery/newliberty/newliberty.htm Donna Cooper

Tracy wrote this about the featured photo - Hi Donna, My Great Grand Mother's name is Mattie Ellen Robberson. She was the daughter of Thomas H. Robberson b. buried in Goodnight Cemetery Barry Co. and Melinda Waltrip buried at Eugene Gates Cemetery. I have J.G. Henderson and Mattie Robberson's marriage license which show her name as Mattie E. Robberson. I'll attach a copy. I hope this helps clear up some the confusion about her name. Thanks, Tracy

For me, during the 1940's, it was not an "in thing," it was a necessity.  I remember going with Daddy to the feedstore to pick out my new dress.  Sometimes it was hard finding a pattern you liked with enough feed bags to make a new dress.  That was basically our wardrobe during those years.

List Readers, our data index page underwent a face lift yesterday! There was plenty of pain that went with this 8 hour process but the old gal looks pretty good. Oh, and Jane Foley said she enjoyed our old-fashioned clip art and the Victorian clip art, too, so I added this one as a Victorian page.  http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/data/index.htm All none sense set aside - if you see anything that doesn't work just right let me know. I think that things should be easier to find now.

List Readers, on the James Neill stone photo that Cheryl added a photo for a few days ago she just added that the family Bible has Feb. 2nd and that the stone has Feb. 3rd. She is not sure which date is correct. You will remember that was a photo of a stone that was in Clark Cemetery in 1981, but that is no longer there. However there is a new stone there - but it only has the years on it so that gave us no clues.  http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/cemetery/clark/clark.htm Donna Cooper

Good Morning, our featured photo is of Erval and Lola (Prier) Henderson and Tracy Knoettgen submitted it. Tracy says that the date taken is unknown. I added that Erval was a son of Joseph Greenberry and Martha E. (Robinson or Robberson?) Henderson. He married Lola May Prier on Dec. 24, 1921 in Barry Co., MO. She was a daughter of Adam Franklin and Lillie (Mizer) Prier. They are both buried in Arnhart Cemetery.  I have had researchers submit Martha's name both as Robinson and as Robberson. So, I am not sure which it is. Maybe some of you can straighten out that situation. Also I think that Prier is spelled as I have it here but have seen it also spelled Prior. Any one have some facts  that straighten out that confusion? http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/bryfams.htm Have a good Sunday and thanks Tracy for the nice photo.   Donna Cooper

Like many of you I like reading about our Civil War folks and so I am pleased to tell you that we have some new records on the site. These new Civil War soldier histories were added today - Richard Harris, Union, added by Harvey Day; Doctor D. Thomas, Union, added by Robert Westfall; John Wilson, Union, added by Ernie Dawson, Lafayette Monroe Teters, Union, added by Maxine Evans Sedlak. You will remember that Richard Harris is the only person buried in the Harris Cemetery. We called it that although he probably was buried on his farm. He buried near Roaring River and all we have is his stone for that one. It is off the base and needs repair - if I remember correctly from when I posted it. Here is the link for the Federal or Union page - http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/civilwar/civil.war.fed.htm I encourage you to add the history for your family to our war pages if they served from Barry County -  and especially do add data to our Civil War pages. Here is the opening page for the Civil War pages where you can find the submit pages - http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/civilwar/civilwar.htm Donna Cooper

What is World Com?  URL?   Cheryl   My feathers were ruffled a bit I was looking at?web today at World Com and see that we still have some folks who guess at their Barry County genealogy, but maybe that will change someday - if?they ever figure out that we have obits, death certificates and stone photos on line and have documented work.?Ah, me,?nuff said!?
