List Readers: The surgery on my right hand is Monday and the surgery on my left hand is set for the first week in April. I will be out of commission until the doctor gives me permission to use the computer again. I have ask Darla Marbut to take care of the list in my absence. And so, I would appreciate it if you can help her to keep an interesting list going. I have put my mail on vacation and so I won't be answering e-mail messages until the doctor gives me the okay.

Good evening: I have some new photos to tell you about tonight. On the Seligman page I have a new postcard listed. I scanned the back, too, so you can read the message. This card has a story that goes with it. One time when I was a child the postmaster at Seligman, from behind his cage, showed a card like this one to my grandmother. You know how your memory sometimes tricks you into thinking something is same when it is not - well so - maybe when I bought this card it could be that my tricky memory played a trick on me. But - according to what I remember the postmaster thought this was a very unique card. He said that he had not seen one like it before and, as I remember the story, neither had my grandmother. It was probably their puzzlement that led me to buy this card almost 60 years later. Some years ago someone named George Doty liked this particular card and bought and mailed it to a lady or girl in Marshfield, Missouri. I believe that it reads that her name was Sable Vanderpool. It also has McDonald Co., MO written on it - but I don't know why because Marshfield certainly isn't in McDonald County. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/seligman/index.htm In the photo album - book 3, part one and part two - that are eight new photos. Those are of some of the descendents of Lot and Elizabeth Ann (Woodard) Banks, which include families named Banks, Hatfield and Simpson. Elizabeth was called Bets Ann and was a daughter of George Washington Woodard and his first wife Cecilia Jenkins. His second wife was named Teague Watson, I believe. He was killed by bushwhackers, or shall we say murdered, since he was hanged in his own front yard. These families lived in the Mayflower area of Ash Township when they first came to Missouri from Virginia. The Woodard clan was from Rappahannock Co., VA and the Banks family came from the Coffee and Warren Counties, Tennessee areas. Lot had brothers in Benton County, Arkansas and several relatives in the Barry Co., area. Lot and Elizabeth have many descendents, some of which live in McDonald, Barry and Howell Counties, MO, as well as Benton County, AR. The Hatfield families lived in both Cassville and in Mt. View, MO. These nice photos were submitted by Donna Hatfield Bourbon and Janet Koseck and add a great deal to our photo pages.Thanks to both of you. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/photos/index.htm I hope you have had a good day and will have a good evening. Donna Cooper

Good Morning: Glenna Dooley sent us a few photos of the old Carney School. Also in her message was a neat little story that I included with the page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/schoolbook/carney.htm Thanks so much, Glenna. And thanks, too, to Rose Newton added the chain of ownership to Joel Chitwood's photo. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/photos/photo-3/chitwood.joel.htm Donna Cooper

Thank you for the generosity. I love the photographs and the history you are all sharing regarding Barry county families and connections to the schools, etc. The book I am reading about schoolhouses in the midwest seems to be generally about those in Ohio, Nebraska and largely Kansas. The title of the book is One-Room Schools of the Middle West, by Wayne E. Fuller. Obviously, this is what made me start thinking about the schoolhouses I'd like to see and/or know about in the Barry County area. I personally wouldn't know which roads to choose to drive down if I set out to find them myself. Obviously many of you know the fields and roads like the 'back of your hand' and have super things to share. Thank you for educating me and others. Deb (Shipman) Rowe

There were at least two different lines with the Black surname in Barry County and the area. My line descended from Joseph Black and Nancy Nichols. The had the following 8 children all born between 1827 and 1843. Mary Polly Ann Black m Joseph Carr Catherine Emaline Black m John Houston Crawford (my ggg grandparents) George Washington Black m Elizabeth Presely Joseph Calloway Black m Ellen Frances Long Lucinda J. Black m John B. Millis Francis A. Black Robert Sneed Black m Malinda "Lindy" Pannell John Toliver Black m Josephine Atkisson All of these children married and stayed in Barry County with the exception of George W. Black. He moved to Washington County, AR by the 1880 census. I have a picture of these siblings taken in their later years. Many of their descendants lived in Barry and surrounding counties, too.

Hi All: During the late 40's and early 50's there was a man named Fred Black. He was president of the Barry County Bank. I banked at his bank for several years. I knew there were several families in Barry County with the last name of Black. I hope this sheds a little light on the subject.
