Donna, I know I am not a resident of Barry Co. but do have ALOT of relatives buried in Barry Co. I wonder if the monument companies were told what the plan was, if they would give a price break?? If you had a list of stones that you wanted replaced or restored, and they saw that there might be several that were gonna be done, they might actually do it. I know that they would have to be "adopted" first, and if you waited until you had several for them to do at one time. MAYBE they would. Just an idea, but your thought IS A GREAT ONE!!

I recently discovered graves of former Barry Co residents in an old, neglected nearly abandoned cemetery in Hill Co, Tx. The families had no idea where these people were buried.

I think this is a great idea. My sisters and I visited Purdy from Vancouver Canada this past September as this where my Mother's family comes from. (McIntosh). Although there are no family members still in the area we were able to visit the graves of our many of our relatives. We were fortunate that those headstones are well cared for including those of our Great Great and Great Grandparents. It would be lovely if others could experience the same. -----Original Message----- From: mobarry-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mobarry-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of David Weston Sent: Sunday, December 18, 2011 9:26 AM To: mobarry@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MOBARRY] What do you think?

List Readers, do you think that if Barry County had a program where people could adopt an orphan stone or family that all the old broken and unreadable stones would be repaired or replaced? I was reading where somewhere out east that a community had ADOPT A CIVIL WAR VETERAN program and that they taking donations to replace stones that are off the bases and on the ground. In some cases the stones were barely readable. What do you think? Donna Cooper

List Readers, we have another great photo from Patricia Garner. This one is of Jesse Garner. Do you know what the chaps were called that he is wearing? Also would like to mention that his sister was married to Everett Payton, a grandson of America Simpson Simpson Wilkerson Bailey. Another sister was married to George Allen Wilson. Wilson's Garage in Washburn was owned by their son Ertie Wilson, I believe. I added a chart to the page so that you can see all the connections his family had. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/bryfams.htm Donna Cooper

I am looking for someone on the list who lives near Crane, Missouri. I am seeking a photograph of a tombstone in Old Town Cemetery. Please let me know if you live in the area and might be willing to photograph the marker and either send it to me or add to Find A Grave memorial for Elbert B. Peters. Larry Wilson Texas

I'm still searching for death and burial information for my great-grandfather's brother, Phillip Haynes. Phillip married Mary Ann Mitchell January 21, 1858 in Barry County. They did not have children. Phillip stayed in Barry County during the war and served in the home guard. The last record I find is the 1900 census. At that time, he is widowed and living in the Shoal Creek township. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Elvin Marion Elvin Haynes Kerrville, Texas

Elvin, I see that Phillip Haynes is listed a lot of the newspaper files. Have you gone through those? In 1907 he moved to Cassville, I see. There are several items given in the papers after 1900 mentioning the name of Phillip Haynes. Did he have a son named Phillip Haynes? A suggestion - if you haven't already done this, try putting his name in quotation "Phillip Haynes" in the search box given on the front page of the web site. You might try some other options, variations of the spelling of both first and last names and see if any other items pop up. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/barry.htm Donna Cooper On Fri, Dec 16, 2011 at 10:22 AM, <ElvinHaynes@aol.com> wrote: > > I'm still searching for death and burial information for my > great-grandfather's brother, Phillip Haynes.  Phillip married Mary Ann  Mitchell January > 21, 1858 in Barry County.  They did not have  children.  Phillip stayed in > Barry County during the war and served in  the home guard.  The last record I > find is the 1900 census.  At that  time, he is widowed and living in the > Shoal Creek township. > > Any help will be greatly appreciated. > > Elvin > Marion  Elvin Haynes > Kerrville, Texas > The list-admin is Donna Cooper, address - (thedonnacooper@gmail.com) > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MOBARRY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

List Readers, Patricia Garrett thinks this one is Iney Bowers and Retta Whittington. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/photos/photo-4/bowersWhittington.htm Thanks, Patricia. Donna Cooper

Here is more on the Burris family - this was shared by Darla Marbut. Mary Catherine Johnson shared the photo with her but is now deceased. Here is what Darla says about the photo. Lou Burris Shrum Garrett on the left, Sarah Leakey Burris Polly in the middle, Melissa Hall Whittington on the right. Lou or Loui (above) as we called her, was Sarah Leakey Burris Polly's daughter by her husband Clay Dean Burris. Melissa Hall born Feb 1, 1872 was a daughter of Elisha and Elizabeth (Ferguson) Hall. Melissa Hall married Leroy Whittington, son of John and Margery Ann (Maloney) Whittington. (Margery was a sister to Sam Houston Maloney, Darla's Great Grandfather.) Leroy was related to Darla's Great Great Grandmother, Lucinda Whittington Maloney. Anyway, Mary C. Burris (Clay Dean Burris' sister) married Abraham Hall, son of Elisah Hall by his 1st wife Susan Clemetine Slover. So Melissa was connected to the Burris family. Loui married first Wesley Shrum (also a relative to Darla) and then Jim Garrett (Darla's great great uncle by marriage to Adaline "Addie" Maloney.) http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/photos/photo-4/burrisFamilyConnections.htm Thanks, Darla. Donna Cooper

List Readers, here is an update for Clay Dean Burris from Darla Marbut - http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/photos/photo-4/burrisClayDean.htm Thanks so much, Darla. Donna Cooper

List Readers, Santa Clause is probably packing his slay and getting his elves programmed for the big night. I am sure that he won't be coming to our house because if he did we'd put him to work. We are making progress on the old house restoration and new addition part, too. I posted a few photos on Face Book today of the kitchen and the laundry room. Both are in makeshift condition now. We have 216 or so members on Face Book - Barry County Places and Things Remembered. If you want to join us, just let me know. I just posted a photo of Clay Dean Burris and some charts to go with the photo that Patricia Garrett sent. I am pretty sure that I have some data pages to post on him in among the documents photos that Patricia submitted. I have sorted those and have them renamed for the web. Also I have watermarked and trimmed them so I will post them as soon as I get the photos all on the net. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/photos/photo-4/burrisClayDean.htm Thanks so much, Patricia.

List Readers, Patricia Garrett added some new information and notes to the 1921-22 Eagle Rock school page. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/School-Book/Eagle-Rock/1921-1922EagleRock.htm Donna Cooper
