In our research on old business around Wheaton, we never saw any mention of these Photographers, but would certainly be interested on anything else we could find out about them?

List Readers: I read in an April 1918 Cassville newspaper that Hinchey & Hisey, the photographers of Cassville, moved to Wheaton that same month. Do any of you know the history behind Hinchey & Hisey? I've seen a few photos with their names on them - but they are rare. In fact the early day Cassville post card that Linda McCormick shared with us was taken from one of their photos. I just wondered who they were and where they came from to Barry County. Was this Jack Hisey or another Hisey? Anybody know? Donna Cooper

This is definitely information not only for the Cassville and Monett papers, but Springfield and Joplin as well. Have any other Missouri counties been recognized with this honor? Thank you, Donna, and core group of workers for making this site what it is.

Many CC's solve the problem early on by posting a statement to the effect that they do not do any research for other individual researchers/family historians. Few of us have a personal library filled with material for the counties we host. We often have less research material than the average researcher .

Good Morning: I added a new yearbook to our files over the week-end. I bought it over the Internet and it is a 1926 Monett one. This year book has a little water damage and a couple of torn pages but for the most part is in pretty fair shape. It has about 100 pages but I scanned 93, leaving the ads at the back off. On page 4 and 5 there are some early Monett photos included. This book is not really dedicated to the strawberry growers but it appears to be. On every page, at the bottom, it has a Frisco train that is labeled "Straw Berry Special". It is dedicated to Nellie Mills, a teacher at the Monett High School. It includes down and through the 7th grade but all the photos are group except for the senior photos. I have it on the web but haven't tried to open all the pages yet, so be sure and let me know if there is a problem with any of them.
