    1. [MOBARRY] Umphfres and Allens in Barry county
    2. Patty McWilliams
    3. On the Barry County site in the Viney Cemetery there are listings for Andrew N. Umphfres, Jan 24, 1876 - Jan 26, 1910 and C.W. Umpfres, Nov 12, 1833- Feb 19, 1910. I have some comments as I believe I may have identified these as father/son from my Summers Family research. (The index for C.W. needs the "h" added and I believe his initials are G.W.) Gaston George Washington Umphfres was born in Hall County, Ga. Most researchers list his middle name as William, but descendants who have photos of Gaston & his wife wrote his name many years ago as Gaston George Washington Umphfres. He appears in the 1900 Barry County census with his wife Holly/Hollie Aminda and sons Andrew b. Jan 1876 in AR and Hiram A., b. March 1882, in AR. In 1880 they lived in Boone Co., AR. Arminda's maiden name was Barton according to family records and she was also born in Hall Co, GA. I have been told she died in 1917 but I do not know where she died. Son Andrew Nathaniel Umphfres, also buried in Viney Cemetery, married Betty Allen in 1901 in Barry County. The 1910 Barry Co. census shows Betty Umphfres, widow, living with her children and her parents, Blake and Sarah Allen. The children are Luther, 12, MO; Robert, 8, MO; Arminda, 7, MO; Michie, 4, AR; Elmer, 4, AR; Eldridge, 1, A. She reports having had 6 children/6 living, however, Luther, 12, could be from a prior marriage for Andrew N as he and Betty would have only been married 9 years at this time. I have found Betty in the 1920 Carroll Co, AR census married to James Haily--her Umphfres children are with them. I have failed in finding death certificates for either man and Barbara Erwin checked the newspapers for any mention of their deaths with no results.
