Donna, Thanks for the good wishes. I haven't been able to find the graves of several family members including Frank & Sarah Potts first 2 children and have searched all available records and have visisted several cemteries in these counties. William & Nancy Mootry & some of their children are buried in Pratt cemetery which is east of the military park in Benton County. A Cook relative told me that originally Wm. (died 1909) had been buried elsewhere & when Nancy died in 1924 he was moved "across the road" & interred beside her. They have rocks for headstones. In 1988 Willie Galyen told me he remembered helping to dig their graves.I have never been able to determine where he was originally buried but Pratt is several miles from where they lived. Maybe someday some of the mysteries will be solved.

Maybe this will give some insite to the pension question Civil War Pensions At the close of the Revolutionary War, the United States government began administering a limited pension system to soldiers wounded during active military service or veterans and their widows pleading dire Poverty. It was not until the 1830's and the advent of universal suffrage for white male and patronage democracy, however, that military pensions became available to all veterans or their widows. Despite these initial expansions, the early U.S. military pension system was minuscule compared to what it became as a result of the Civil War. Beginning in 1861, the U.S. government generously attended to the need of its soldiers and sailors or their dependents. Because the Federal government did not implement conscription until 1863, these first Civil War benefits in many ways were an attempt to induce men to volunteer. Although altered somewhat over the years, the 1862 statute remained the foundation of the Federal pension system until the 1890s. It stipulated that only those soldiers whose disability was "incurred as a direct consequence of . . . Military duty" or developed after combat "from causes which can be directly traced to injuries received or diseases contacted while in military service" could collect pension benefits. The amount of each pension depended upon the veteran's military rank and level of disability. Pensions given to widows, orphans, and other dependents of deceased soldiers were always figured at the rate of total disability according to the military rank of their deceased husband or father. By 1873 widows could also receive extra benefits for each dependent child in their care. In 1890 the most notable revision in the Federal pension law occurred: the Dependent Pension Act. A result of the intense lobbying effort of the veterans' organization, the Grand Army of the Republic, this statute removed the link between pensions and service-related injuries, allowing any veteran who had served honorably to qualify for a pension if at some time he became disabled for manual labor. By 1906 old age alone became sufficient justification to receive a pension. At the same time that pension requirements were becoming more liberal, several Southern congressmen attempted to open up the Federal system to Confederate veterans. Proponents justified such a move by noting that Southerners had contributed to Federal pensions through indirect taxes since the end of the war. These proposals met with mixed responses in both North and the South, but overwhelmingly, opposition came from those financially comfortable Confederate veterans and southern politicians who regarded such dependency on Federal assistance a dishonor t the Lost Cause. It should be noted that impoverished Southern veterans frequently were not averse to the prospect of receiving Federal pensions. In any event, no such law ever passed, and Confederate veterans and their widows never matriculated into the Federal pension system. Although U.S. Civil War veterans had received pensions since 1862 and Southern state governments had provided their veterans with artificial limbs and veteran retirement homes since the end of the war, it was not until the 1880s and early 1890s that the elevens states of the former Confederacy enacted what can accurately be called pension systems. The economic devastation of he war and the political upheaval of Reconstruction best explain this long delay. When Southern pension systems did finally emerge, they generally resembled the pre-1890 U.S. system: eligibility depended upon service-related disability or death and indigence, and widows as well as other dependents of deceased soldiers could receive pensions. Despite these similarities, however, there were striking differences. First, in the South widows collected pensions set at a specific rate for widows of deceased soldiers. These rates were generally lower than those to which their husbands would have been entitled should they have survived. Under the Federal system, there was no separate category for widows. Second, most Southern pension laws determined stipend amounts based only on the degree of disability. No regard was given to military rank. Third, there was never a Confederate equivalent to the 1890 U.S. Dependent Act. Although over time Confederate pension requirements became more liberalized, there was always an income and poverty limit-pensions were never given simply for service. Fourth, whereas indirect taxes funded Federal pensions, most Southern states financed their pension through a direct tax. And fifth, because Southern pension systems were on the state level only, they varied as to method and amount and were much less financially generous than U.S. pensions. Though the individual pensions of Southerners were minuscule compared to those of Federal veterans and war widows, as a percentage of state expenditures, Southern pension expenditures were monumental. Of all the former Confederate states, Georgia generally spent the most per year on pensions, Alabama ran a close second. Both the Federal government and Southern state governments continued to provide pensions for Civil War veterans and their widows well into the middle of the twentieth century. In all, billions of dollars were expended by both sides in an effort to "reward" the survivors of America's costliest war. Because of the high rates of expansion in both the Federal and Confederate systems, critics frequently accused pensioners and officials alike of corruption and fraud. Those pensioners most often labeled as frauds were widows, especially young women who had married veterans much older than themselves, supposed "cowards," and, in the Federal system, black veterans. By the mid-twentieth century, both systems were generally considered devoid of original integrity. Source: "Encyclopedia of the American Civil War" edited by David S. Heidler and Jeanne T.

Nancy: Lucy Potts' husband, Thomas N. Galyen, had a sister Rebecca Josephine I think, who was married to John Burks. Do you know if that is the same Burks family that is buried in Sulherd or Old Washburn Cemetery? That stone reads Burke but sometimes the papers or other records mention him or his father as Burks.

Donna, I think there may be some of my family line buried in the Sulherd cemetery. There are also some in the Morgan, Potts, Lone Walnut, Cargile & King cemeteries. Josephine Burks is buried at Morgan. If her husband is there he must not have a legible marker - at least the 1999 listing didn't list one. Nancy

List Readers: Our thanks to Don Warner who sent us three marriage notices from the Wheaton Journal. We are always glad to get old marriage notices like these. They are all dated 1929. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/data/news/newspapers.htm They are for: Overton & Davidson, Hinton & Fox, and Erickson & Harris And I added a new obit, too.

Wilma: I suppose you already know that "sen" on the end of the name of Andersen usually means that they were Norwegian or possibly Danish - and that his father's given name was Ander. It sounds to me like Hultgren may be a topographical name. I think the gren of the last of the name may mean branch and I am not sure what Hult means. Sweden did not have surnames until around 1901 when Patronymics was outlawed I don't know when the law became in effect for the rest of Scandinavia, but about that time. At that time everyone had to pick a name that they wanted to use. They could take their mother's or father's given name or if they wanted they could pick the area in which they lived. This caused great confusion because when the boat landed - they had to have a name - thus came the event of made up names such as Mustaparter, which I believe means black beard. Could your Fyr name be in this catergory? We are lucky because in Sweden, everyone had to report births, deaths and marriages to the local parish. It was used more like a court house than a church. The parish records have been filmed for most of - or all - of Sweden and I don't know for sure but I think all of Scandinavia has been filmed. You can order those and have them sent to your local LDS on an inter-library loan. When I was doing professional research on more than one occasion I used the Swedish census and the Swedish parish records and I can tell you that their record keeping is wonderful. LDS won't have the census but you can get it from another site - one sort of like Ancestry.com Many years ago I worked with the exchange student program and so I made several trips to Scandinavia and Europe. I have been to Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway and on two different occasions. I also have been in the Blackstad, Vastervick area, and if I remember correctly it is located south of Stockholm and on the west coast - and not near Norway. It is closer to Denmark so Andersen could very well be Danish. One word of caution there will be many people by the same name and maybe with the same birth date so everything will have to be exact - and to the T - you will need to match the entire family - so that you know that you have the right people captured. Since this is a Barry County list - and not a Swedish one - I will stop here but you can drop me a line if you want. Hope this helps enough to get you going.

I think all veterans had to fight for pensions - at least the ones I've gotten are full of testimonies from people who testified to marriages, births, service times, illnesses - which is actually a great thing for us. I have one pension file that solved a brickwall (sort of), at least I found out my ancestor left home never to be heard from again and his wife had to fight to get a pension based on her 1st husband's military service.

There was also talk of riding in sleighs and ice skating in the 1918 and 1917 newspapers. I read in one paper that the ice was 7 inches deep on the some of the Barry County ponds - I don't remember if that was in December of 1917 or January of 1918. My grandmother told me that when she was a teenager that the teens would meet at local ponds and ice skate and that she loved to sleigh ride. She said that they always took wraps and foot warmers so that they didn't get too cold. She was a teenager in 1917 and 1918. I suppose we can better understand global warming when we visualize a sleigh ride or ice skating in Barry County. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/news/7/index-7.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/news/news.htm In the last 3 days over 500 people have read the old newspapers on the Barry County web site.

Her homemade stone has no dates - so it helps to have that posted for her on the cemetery page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/concord/concord.htm Darla Marbut sent us a few photos for Aldridge Cemetery. These were some she had in her files. Also some death certificate notes and obit notes were added to the cemetery page. Martha Wise Aldridge J. H. Aldridge Anna Sparks Aldridge Rev. F. M. Smallwood Norma Goutney Edie and David Edie McAnespy http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/edie/edie.htm And at Leann Cemetery, Jay Trace added a cemetery stone for the surname of Francis. This was a recent death - one without a stone. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/leann/leann.htm Judy Vietri added a wonderful old photo of John thomas Peter Skelton and his wife Mary Edna Murray Skelton. I am really glad to see a Skelton family photo added to our files. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/photos/photo-3/skelton.john.fam.htm Obits were added by Darla Marbut and also from the old newspapers for the following names: Judge Horace E. Morro Mollie (Maddox) Eubanks Mrs. George W. Eden Nora Plott Mrs. J. C. Majors Zaida Hefley - Mrs. Bert Hefley - Nee Mullens Will Leake Marion Hilton James Mayfield's child Peggy Rhodes http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/data/obits.htm I have been trying to stay away from that stinker the mouse - since he is the fellow who caused the carpal tunnel. So - I have been reading newspapers and looking for things that I can do that doesn't require much mouse work. By the way, my surgery is in February. I have had all my test and so now I am just sitting here and waiting for the mac the knife. Last night while reading the papers, I noticed that in January of 1918 that it was 20 below zero in Fairview one morning. There was also talk of riding in sleighs and ice skating in the 1918 and 1917 newspapers. I read in one paper that the ice was 7 inches deep on the some of the Barry County ponds - I don't remember if that was in December of 1917 or January of 1918. My grandmother told me that when she was a teenager that the teens would meet at local ponds and ice skate and that she loved to sleigh ride. She said that they always took wraps and foot warmers so that they didn't get too cold. She was a teenager in 1917 and 1918. I suppose we can better understand global warming when we visualize a sleigh ride or ice skating in Barry County. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/news/7/index-7.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/news/news.htm In the last 3 days over 500 people have read the old newspapers on the Barry County web site. That sure is a busy spot now days. I can't believe we have so much for today. A big warm thanks to Beverly Matthews, Darla Marbut, Jay Trace and Judy Vietri for their help with today s new items.

List Readers: Here is the list of new things that we have for today. Beverly Matthews sent some notes for the photo that Cheryl submitted many moons ago. Her notes were for Drury Wilkerson and family. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/photos/Wilkerson.htm A new entry was added to Calton Cemetery from a Roewert researcher - sorry I don't have his name. But it was for Herman Roewart. He has no stone - anyway no stone that Darla or I found when we photographed this cemetery. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/calton/calton.htm At Concord, Darla Marbut added a note for Priscilla (Sherman) Lockert from a newspaper item telling about her death.
