Kathleen, thanks for the e-mail. We have been in California so I am just now getting to your message so I apologize for the long wait.   I think the best way to gather information on this one is through the mailing list that we have for the site.   I am sending them a cc so that someone can perhaps help you find the answer to your puzzle.   Donna Cooper, Coordinator --- On Wed, 3/24/10, Kathleen Larson <[email protected]> wrote: From: Kathleen Larson <[email protected]> Subject: Barry Co., MO To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, March 24, 2010, 5:04 PM Dear Ms. Cooper: I am a descendant of two Barry County families of German descent -- the Probstfelds (sometimes shown as Pittsfield and other spellings in public records) and the Schneiders.  I would like to find cemetery information about the family and wonder if there was a German and/or Catholic cemetery in use in Barry County between 1885 and 1915?  My grandmother, Katherine Schneider Kerwin, often told of her life in Monett, MO, and although born there, she said German was the language spoken at home and she did not speak English until she started school.  The use of German may explain why the last names are often spelled in exotic ways -- it may have been very difficult for local county officials to understand the heavily accented English that my great-grandparents spoke. Your site is an absolute treasure and I loved looking through it and seeing the places my ancestors called home so many years ago. Thank you for maintaining such a wonderful site and thank you for any assistance you may give, Sincerely, Kathleen Larson

List Readers, Dorris Goff alerted me that we didn't have Opal Stockton listed on the Corinth cemetery pages, but that we had a newspaper item for her that announced her death. So - I posted her name on the Corinth page but don't have her birth data or any other information for her so if any of you can help with this one, it will be greatly appreciated. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/cemetery/corinth/corinth-p-s.htm Donna Cooper

List Readers: Well, we are back in Missouri and I must tell you that I am buried in what I think is possibly e-mail heaven today. The dirty laundry I have stacked up is not from the heavenly place but will refrain from telling you just where I think it may have come from. Lila Johannessen sent us a photo of her father for the WW II page that I now have posted. He was Otis Glenn Long. I think you will agree with me when I tell you that having the photos of our ancestors on the war pages is a real plus for researchers. This is such a neat way to honor our service men and women. I urge you to take part in posting data on the war pages if you haven't already. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/WWII/kl.htm Thanks so much, Lila. Donna Cooper

Linda,...Thanks for your reply on the Stephens family! I sent an email to your personal address yesterday but I got it back..so want you to know I did get your information and appreciate it so very much! Thanks, Betty Lamberson

I too, am interested in the Stephens connection as I descend from the same line as Betty and have the same conundrum in regards to TL Stephens wife's name.  Apparently more research is needed.   Cheryl --- On Thu, 3/25/10, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: MOBARRY Digest, Vol 5, Issue 83 To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, March 25, 2010, 1:00 AM The list-admin is Donna Cooper, address - ([email protected]) Today's Topics:    1.

Re: my ggg-grandfather "T.L." Thomas L. Stephens' middle name ... I have  found a number of Lewises and Lawrences in the Stephens' line ... and now a  suggestion of perhaps Lewallen (Betty, did you find that in  records?) ... but I haven't been able to find out for sure what his middle  name was.  That's one of my goals. There is a family tree on Ancestry.Com which shows Thomas L. Stephens' wife as Mary E. Hogan, whom I've never heard of nor found info  about.   I wrote to the owner of that family tree asking for their  documentation on her name, as I didn't want to have wrong information in my  files.  But I never heard back from them - either time I've written - and  believe their posting is incorrect. As for my research, I've found "T.L." Thomas L. Stephens was born 17  Dec. 1791 (1795 on gravestone at Vineyard Cemetery) in  NC.   He was the son of Philip Stephens (b. VA, d.1830 Roane Co.  TN) and his wife Mary, and I believe (but haven't yet proved) the grandson of  George Stephens of VA.   He was married to Rhoda  "Roda" Crisp on 21 July 1812 in Roane Co., TN.    She  was the daughter of John Crisp (b.1767 in SC) and Rutha __ Crisp (b.1777)  in SC.   Rhoda's siblings were Elizabeth, James, Elias, and  John. Thomas and Roda/Rhoda Stephens had children Patsy, George, Sarah,  Philip Jackson (my gg-grandfather, often incorrectly called Peter Jackson, who  married Amanda Miller, lived in Barry Co), Mary Alice (who married John Tucker,  lived in Barry Co.) and Emily Jane (who married Wheeling Combs, lived in  Barry Co.).   In this mess of my notes and files I have more info  which I'll get to and post at a later time.    In the 1850 U.S. Census, they were all living in Monroe County,  TN.  In 1858, Thomas and son Philip J. registered their  land Pre-emptions north and east (Stony Point) of present day  Exeter.  In Vineyard Cemetery, Exeter, you'll find T.L. and Rhoda  Stephens, and P.J. and Amanda Stephens (father Thomas L. and son Philip  Jackson). If there are errors and misinformation in my data, I for sure want to know  about it, as the last thing I want to do is pass along  faulty information.   I'd love to have input from other Stephens  (and Brattin/West/Henderson/Inman) researchers ... all help is appreciated  toward making all our family trees as complete and correct as we possibly  can, eh?    Thank you all very much.

List Readers, Stan McKay submitted an obit for Frank Edwards and also the death certificate abstract for him, too. Also he submitted an abstract of death certificate for William Gofourth. Nancy Wickam submitted a death certificate abstract for William Isaac Weaver. His stone is evidently incorrect so it is very good to have this data on the web site. Patty McWilliams submitted Mirah Jane (Meek) Stockton adn Jackson Monrow Stockton's death certificate abstacts. Thanks Nancy, Stan and Patty for these new obits and death certificates - very nice work! http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/data/obits.htm We will be leaving sunny California in the morning. Oh, yes, and - I do have a pretty big back log to catch up on when I get home. But hang in there with me and I'll get to it and get it done soon. Donna Cooper
