Jay, I just spent a while looking at 1912--didn't volunteer because I wasn't sure how long it would take. It goes pretty fast so if no one else is asking, I will take 1912. I assume "Potters Field Cassville, " would be what we should look for? If so, John Andrew Bowman June 19, 1892 - February 6, 1912, was buried there. I'm still looking.

I've been told there was an older school I'm not sure exactly where it was located but it was near by. The one that is there now is in its original spot as far as I know as my mother showed me where the wood shed would have been. I'll ask my cousin and she can ask her mother who is 93 and once lived in the area of Roaring River.

Oh yes!!! I think restoration of the oneroom school at Roaring River would be fabulous! What an absolutely perfect place to do something like this!!! It is a wonderful place for teachers to visit with classes and would do so much to preserve the history in a spot we dearly love!!! In miles, I am a bit removed from Roaring River since I live in Kansas City...but that shouldn't matter! I travel down all the time as my parents live in Joplin. I know I am getting way ahead of anything here, but I can tell you that if this project gets underway, I will happily volunteer my efforts to compile art related lessonplans that can evntually be downloaded for teachers to use with their students. Though retired, I am still a certified art educator for grades K-12 in Missouri and actually have Lifetime certification...so no problem! How fun it would be to design and contribute that aspect. I realize I am getting way ahead of myself but I think renovation of the oneroom schoolhouse you mentioned is a super idea! I'm sure others agree! There are of course all sorts of things that can be done to raise money for the effort if indeed it gets underway. Please let me investigate further with CSAA about applying for the grant money I mentioned as well as other means that might help. I will of course be in contact also with the gentleman you mentioned in your post. Thank you for your input! I'll keep in touch...and of course any and all of the super people on the List will I am sure get involved eventually too!!! How FUN!

Yes, we're very lucky here in Barry Co to have people who are interested in preserving history and information of our ancestors....people who might be forgotten if it wasn't for them. Then we've also been blessed to have people who live out of state and can't work to offer to donate toward the expense of the restoration. If there is someone who missed that address....Send donations to: Barry Co Gen. and His Soc. P.O. Box 291, Cassville, Mo 65625...please mark your check that it is for Restoration and Preservation Committee.

Two obituaries have been added: Samuel M. Smith and Caleb M. Jimerson http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/data/obits.htm It is easy to add the obituaries, click this link: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/data/obits/subobit.htm (Please read the guidelines Donna has on the obituary page.) Darla

This is just a reminder of how to post obituaries on the Barry Co site. I've used the form three times now and it isn't difficult or I couldn't do it. Be to read what Donna said about copywrites. Here is where she first told us about the form with the link: "List Readers: I have the obit submission file on the web and ready for you to use. I think that this will be easier for both you to use than the old way we were doing them. I hope that you like it and that you will take advantage of using it and the new death certificate submission file, too. Obits - Please abstract your obits if they are recent or if they have "living" individuals included. Recent obits will be copyrighted, so it is, by all means, a good idea to abstract them so that we stay in good graces with the newspapers and also so that we do not violate the copyright laws. I know that some of you think that you own the obit because someone in your family is mentioned, but that is not the way it works. Please understand unless you paid for the obit - you don't own the copyright on it. Please do not post them on the list mailing or mail them in an open message to my e-mail box. If for some reason that you have to mail the abstract copy to me, place the typed copy in Note Pad or Word. No hard copies are going to be accepted. (On this one wait until she has recovered from her surgery) Submit obits here at this link. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/data/obits/subobit.htm In case you want to read the guidelines, they are posted in several places - here below is one place. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/data/obits.htm Obits that violate someone's rights or the copyright laws will be deleted. " Darla

Thank you so much for sharing the information and thank you Jay for passing it on. I've been running off messages and "snail mailing" them to Donna just to make sure she gets the information. I'm also keeping a list of information in my files so when Donna recovers I can -email everything to her at once. So doing both should insure that no information is lost.
