Deb, Have you tried contacting Gloria Bogart Carter? At one time she had a special column in the Springfield News-Leader strictly for genealogy and even answered genealogical questions. She might have some info on this. I believe the website is: http://www.news-leader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage You might be able to contact her with your questions. Or you may want to contact Cherry Bailey cherry@barrycomuseum.org she is the contact person at the Barry County Museum, she might be able to shed some light on this subject. Good luck.

The title of the article is "The Ozarks Little Sparkler" and it is about "the shortest standard-guage railroad in the world" which ran out of Casssville and went to Exeter and back. I haven't even read the whole thing yet but there is no date on it. The writers were apparently Hank and Vera Bradshaw. A man by the name of Burt Anderson is mentioned in it and is the engineer. Says he started with the C&E in 1908. Does anyone know anything about the two people who wrote the article that would help me figure out when it was written? I've Googled it and can't come up with a date for the article or the people either. Thanks, Deb (SHIPMAN) ROWE Please tell us about your Barry County ancestors.
