List Readers, I am going to tell you about your featured photo tonight because I think it is one of the neatest photos that I've seen. Linda Skelton Corbin posted it on the Barry County GenWeb page on Face Book and gave permission for it to be our featured photo for the week. Here is what she said about it. This was the view from the front porch of my childhood home - picture taken about 1975. The Ennis house had been empty since the 60s. The other house on the left was empty as far back as I can remember - late 50s. I don't know how long that they lived there. Thomas Martin "Marty" Ennis was born in Barry County, MO in 1873. Minnie Beeson was born in Barton County, MO in 1880. They are on the 1900 Census in Mineral Springs, but I can't say that they were in that house. They were in that house as far back as I remember-late 50s. It was a charming little house. They had a cuckoo clock which we loved to see. It seems like they always gave homemade gingerbread on Halloween. When people's dogs would get bit by cooperheads, Mr. Ennis would put some stinky purple medicine on the bite and the dogs always lived. They had about 8 daughters who married into the Weaver, Wireman, Brooks, Bishop, and other families. I think that they belonged to the Union Chapel Church on Hwy 248. My childhood memories are so fuzzy. .http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/bryfams.htm ------------------ There has been a lot of activity on the the Face Book page this week and we have 105 members now. If you want to join our group, let me know. The discussion this week has varied - but here are a few of the high points. Tony Martin posted a 78 recording that is on You Tube of the Macedonia Quartet of Barry County. Roaring River CCC days was part of the discussion along with some photos from that era. Sarah Poff posted a Civil War painting when the day the flag cried - the Pea Ridge battlefield. Allen School, submitted by Barbara Smith, discussion of that photo. Question is still unanswered - was it in Lawrence County? Post Cards and discussion Eagle Rock, Seligman, Monett and Washburn were all part of the week. ----------------- The old house work continues - sheet rock and mud in the old part and putting up framing for walls in the new part today.
