Good afternoon: Barry County is hot as a fire cracker on the fourth of July but we have folks thinking about doing cemetery work as soon as a cool breeze buzzes through one of our cemeteries. Diana Cope sent us a couple of photos for Russell Cemetery - front and back of a stone for Sunnie Stumpff. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/cemetery/russell/russell.htm Phyllis Long added a few more files to the WW I pages earlier today. You will remember we put this file in a new format - sort of like the obit format. Sine we worked on these you will now be able to pull up a WW I letter and print it out on a sheet for your genelaogy notebooks. I thought since a lot of you have relatives who served that this would be a helpful asset to have on the site.  Dr. Bailey, Clarence Beeson, Earl Brown, Ralph Davenport, Don Davenport, Dr. Gilbert, Dr. Kelley, Wesley Long, Elsie Sharp, Dr. Salyer, Dr. Russell http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/WWI/index.htm AND THE OBITS ARE DONE!!!!!    By that I mean that they have all been put in the new format. This is a format where you can print out the sheet and put it in your genealogy notebooks, which I think you will like. Many hands have touched this database and many hours have gone into this process, so I want to thank all you have helped with this wonderful resource that we have on line now. My search with DreamWeaver reads that we have 7792 obits but I think it is counting some backup files and that we probably have around 4,000. Whatever the number it is a lot and should help us, as researchers, with our genealogy work in Barry County. If you see any obits that look like out of the ordinary or they need something done to them to make them look like the others - please send me a link. We want this resource to be as good as it can be! http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/data/obits.htm Roller Cemetery work continues. This is a file that Wilma Fields submitted. Roller, Reed and Robinett names were added today - more later on this work as the week progresses. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/cemetery/roller-ar/roller-ar.htm Thanks goes to our helpers Diana Cope, Wilma Fields, and Phyllis Long for their help with today's new items.
