List Readers: Here are a couple of pictures that I have posted for you today The first one was submitted by Jay McCandless of Pioneer School, about 1932. This is a wonderful old photo and I hope that some of you will fill in the blanks for us. I bet some of you have grandparents pictured here. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/schoolbook/schools/pioneer.htm The other one is a photo of the Henderson and Lowery group of musicians. Linda Stephens McCormick submitted it and was probably taken about 1900. Can t you just see these folks all dressed up and playing their instruments? Both of these photos are unusually nice and add a lot to our county history and knowledge. If you connect to people in either of these photos, I think that this is probably your lucky day. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/photos/photoalbum2/henderson.group.htm A big thanks to Jay and Linda for sharing their photos with us. Monett IOOF has about 80 photos posted from Jay Trace's work. This is a certainly a masterpiece and when we get it all on the web it will knock down a lot of brick walls. Thanks for all you do, Jay. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/monett/monett.htm My dream is to have a photo of all our early pioneers on the web site because I think that it will help a lot of researchers. Once you see what your ancestor looked like they no longer are a cardboard figure or a name or number on a page, they suddenly become real people for you to understand and for you to get to know better. If you can help with that project, your efforts will greatly appreciated by a lot of people. Now, I must pack for my trip. My mail box is full - but when I get back home I will try and post from it some more. Keep up the good work! Donna Cooper

That is a wonderful picture of the Henderson group. My Dad, Ted W. Keeling was a musician as his grandfather James Monroe Keeling. I have pictures I will be sending soon to Donna to post of James M. Keeling and his fiddle. I am a musician myself and a singer. I have played for the last 6 plus years to senior facilities. Before that I have played for churches and the public since I was 13. I can really appreciate this wonderful photo. Thanks for sharing this picture with us.
