Hello, I was wanting to ask is someone going to get a picture and a obit or death cert. for my aunt and put it on the IOOF site for her? Her name is Viola Nolan. Thank you, Barbara eor@saber.net

Hello, I have never been to MO. and seen my family graves ans I am seeing some for the very first time from the IOOF cemetery and who ever put the wonderful flowers on the graves I can only say God bless you for you doing this. Barbara eor@saber.net

Hello Everyone, On the IOOF cemetery there is a Jackie Lee Nichols gravestone I was wondering if anyone has the death cert. or the obit that they are going to post. Sorry for asking but I know this is one that belongs to my family line and not sure who the parents are as I never saw or even heard of any Nichols family until I started research. I would be greatful for any help. Thank you. Barbara eor@saber.net

Good Afternoon: I learned today that a few people post their work before they research their material and there are some folks who don't care about the facts or know how to document their files. Just a few moments ago, I took a break from my cemetery photo work and logged on to WorldCom and Family Search to see some of the work being posted by researchers doing Barry County research. I almost fainted when I saw some of the names and the combinations that were being posted. Our Barry County ancestors would turn over in their graves if they could see that mess. Please don't misunderstand, I did see some really good and nice work in among all that junk. But - there was one fleeting moment that I wondered why I do what I do and all my work seemed in vain. And, just for that one moment, I wondered, if people don't use what we post, then why do we do it? Then - I took a deep breath and clicked away my disappointment with the delete button. So much for that - here is an update for Monett, which is more on the positive side of things. Most of you know that Jay Trace took the photos of all the stones and that the posting work has been going on now for several days. There are over 4 000 photos in the file and about 5,400 graves there. We appreciate all of Jay's hard work and despite the bad stuff, I am very sure that it was not done in vain! This is a nice file and definitely a big asset to our web site About 5% of the residents of IOOF once lived in Lawrence Co., and the remainder was Barry County residents. In addition, of course, you know the cemetery is just across the Lawrence County line. I have posted about 800 from Jay's work and 1250 or so from the combination of Jay's work and other projects. I will be glad when I get around 1350 or about 1/4 of the cemetery on the web. The Monett - IOOF - Cemetery file has about 30 web pages at this time. Each web page totals anywhere from 12 to 25 hard copy pages. So we probably have online somewhere around 400 to 500 hard copy pages thus far. This is a whopper - and when completed will be about 2000 or more hard copy pages. If not a duplex printing - it will take over four reams of paper just to print it out. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/monett/monett.htm Have a good week-end and enjoy these beautiful fall days.

List Readers: There is an old saying in Barry County that was used a long time ago. If someone was busy they'd say it was a busy day at the mill today Well, it was a busy day at the mill yesterday! Here is what happened. Our thanks to Diana Cope who sent us the donation number for Hilton Cemetery So in case you have been needing that we now have it posted. Also she added that the old time settler - Jonathan Hilton - was her husband's 4th great grandfather. That is very neat! I am always proud to say that I have several 4th great grand parents who settled in Barry County. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/hilton/hilton.htm A big thanks to Cindy Van Horn Wood who sent us some nice Long photos of her Long family line. She decends from John Dake and Martha (Dennis) Long. They had 14 children and are buried in Keen Cemetery. Her John was a son of John Dake and Lavina (Bellah) Long and a grandson of Hiram and Anna (Lakey) Long. He was also a brother to my 2nd great grandfather, George Long who married Sarah Frances Smith. Here are the links to two photos I posted today. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/photos/photoalbum2/long.john.fam.1.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/photos/photoalbum2/long.john.fam.2.htm Our thanks to Linda Stephens McCormick for another nice photo. She sent us one of Francis Marion Henderson. The photo was taken when he was about 30 years old and in about 1861. It is really a nice photo and so good to have it on our web site. I love old photos of our pioneers. They add so much to our understanding of Barry County and who our ancestors were. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/photos/photoalbum2/henderson.f.m.htm We now have over 700 photos from Jay Trace's submission on the Monett pages and another 460 or 470 or so from other projects. When I woke up this morning I realized that I had been posting cemetery photos in my dreams. That was when I decided to go shopping. [smile] Don't worry I am back at the post and back to the Monett cemetery stones. This is such a nice file that we are building for Monett. There seems to be no end to the facts that we are adding with the stone photos. It is really much like a giant jigsaw puzzle with no ending so it is far from boring. Jay, again, thanks so much for all you do. Here is the link. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/monett/monett.htm Keep up the good work and don't do too much at the mill today. Donna Cooper

Good Evening: We have about 600 photos now posted from Jay Trace's work of Monett IOOF Cemetery. I also added a lot of information from obits and death certificates today. We had about 450 on the web from other projects so now we have about 1050 photos on the Monett pages. Work is progressing but it is slow. It seems like I can't seem to get more than 50 a day on the web. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/monett/monett.htm Thanks for all you do, Jay. This is really nice work! I have some photos and other things in the mail box that I will try and post tomorrow. Keep up the good work! Donna Cooper

Isn't that the leaves of a chinquapin tree on the right? I imagine that most of you know, who are Missouri natives, that the chinquapin trees in Southwest MO died out from a tree disease called Chestnut Blight. When I was a kid and growing up in Barry County there were a lot of these trees all around the county, but they say now there aren't many left in the county at all now. Little boys used to bring chinquapins in the pockets to school and the little girls carried them in small bags or put them in their lunch pails. They were as much a part of our culture and school atmosphere as the cell phone is today.

Looks like one end is tied to posts about 10 ft off the ground -- so does anyone know if that's an optical illusion or did they really have to climb up there to get on the bridge? Wonderful picture!

Good Morning: Our featured photo for the week is one that Linda Stephens McCormick sent us of the Eagle Rock swinging bridge. This is such a great photo that I could not pass it up for a featured photo. The detail of this 1908 post card photo is really great. I enlarged it on my 22 inch monitor and counted nine people on the bridge and these folks are supposed to have been from Purdy. I wonder who they were And there are people sitting on the ground, too. It looks like there is a man and woman and 4 children and also a woman and 2 children on the ground and it is hard to tell but I think that there is one person in the water. Both woman on the ground are wearing sun bonnets. Darla Marbut said that many people used to go there to the bridge area for picnics and that they'd have baptisms there, too. Dane Martin told me that he remembered the bridge well and that he'd crossed it many times. He said the thought that it was probably there until the 1960's but he wasn't sure about that. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful old photo with us, Linda! Photos like this add so much to our understanding of Barry County and to to our files here at Barry. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/bryfams.htm Donna Cooper

Donna, I have submitted my question twice on MO-BARRY-L-@rootsweb.com and it hasn't gone thru yet! Something is blocking it.

Good Evening: If you are interested in stories and just plain good conversation, you might want to sign up for the Barry chat list. Those folks are having a ball. They have been talking about Barry County in the old days and how it was in the 1950's - notice I said the 'old days' - almost choked on that. There was the 1950's talk about Cassville and how people used to get all dressed up for their Saturday trip to town. Other talk and conversation was pointed toward what brought Jay Trace to Barry County and what got him interested in doing cemetery work. Here below is the link for the page where the address is for chat. http://resources.rootsweb.com/usa/MO/Barry/ Here is the address where you send it - and then put subscribe on the subject line. MOBARRY-CHAT-L-request@rootsweb.com Tonight we have some new entries on Corsicana, Maplewood, Oak Hill, Jolly, Calton, Purdy and Monett. Some of these were just new e-mail changes but others were new entries. You might want to walk through those and take a look to see if there is something new that you are interested in knowing about. I added about a dozen new entries from the temporary pages to the cemetery pages. Sorry, I didn't keep a list. At Maplewood has a Stephens date was corrected, which I thought was corrected last week. Linda Stephens McCormick sent it and some how or another it didn't post - I just thought that it did - but it's there now. And, thanks, Linda. We are always glad to get corrections. Our thanks to Jay McCandless who had some new entries for Oak Hill. Nancy Wickam had an address change, so you should be able to access her by e-mail from the Barry pages now. She was listed on Jolly, Calton, Purdy, Corsicana, Monett and maybe some other pages too, but that is all that comes to mind right now. Sorry, I didn't keep a list. Our thanks to Beverly Matthews who added some new information on the Overton family on the Corsicana pages. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/corsicana/corsicana.htm On Monett IOOF - I now have 500 photos from Jay Trace's work posted and have been working on that one all day. I have been adding obits and death certificates, too, so we have a lot of new entires on those pages. A big thanks to Jay for this great piece of work. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/monett/monett.htm My thanks to all who helped with today's items. Donna Cooper
