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

Grand idea. The economy being what it is and the enormous number of stones that could be replaced or repaired presents a huge challenge. The cost of stones today are expensive. Still, I think it is a great and noble idea that should be pursued. My three cents:-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donna Cooper" <thedonnacooper@gmail.com> To: <mobarry@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, December 18, 2011 9:38 AM Subject: [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 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?
