Good Afternoon: Today is another full day of posting and so all is well at the keyboard and with this lady. I have a lot of new things for you today. First, I must mention this about posting in the temporary folder. Please do not post data for cemeteries that we do not have listed on our cemetery pages. Recently I have found listings for people buried in Lawrence Newton and McDonald Counties on our temporary page. I also found a query about something and one living person who posted their e-mail address there. My eraser button works great! It also helps me a great deal when you use standard abbreviations and spelling. By some small chance that you don't know, we are using M/D/Y postings for dates on our cemetery pages. "Barry Co., MO" is the correct way to post the county and state name. If a period or a comma is required in your post, please don't be shy - use it. Okay - now for the good stuff! On the King Cemetery pages, I added the death certificate notes for Wayne and Frank Merriman. These boys were brothers and were killed in an auto accident in 1952. The accident happened near Cassville on Hwy 37. This tragic accident took two sons from the Merriman family. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/king/kings.htm Ruth Burch helped me out when she caught a typo on the death date for John Hancock. He died in 1984 - not 1884 as I typed. He was a cousin to my grandmother, so I can't believe that I didn't catch that one. Anyway, thanks Ruth, for your sharp eye and help. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/king/kings.htm On Larry Edwards' photo album I changed about 90 e-mail addresses for him. Also he has school photos listed in Long, Arnhart and Gunter Schools. So you should be able to access him by e-mail now. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/schoolbook/schoolbook.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/schoolbook/schoolbook2.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/photos/edwards/edwards.htm Our thanks to Jay Trace, who helped us out with a stone entry where a death date had been added. It was the Stever stone and so he sent us a new photo for it so you can see that on Purdy Cemetery pages. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/purdy/purdy.htm Jay Trace also helped out with Bethel Baptist when he sent us two new photos for stones there. They were for Ramsey and Henderson. Thanks, Jay, we are always glad to get the updates. They help a lot. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/bethelbaptist/bethel.htm On Mineral Springs Cemetery, Beverly Matthews sent some death certificate notes for the surname of Erwin. Thanks, Beverly, those help a lot. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/mineralsprings/ms.htm Then there was a puzzle on the Monett - IOOF - pages. It was for Valeda Taylor. Her obit had her parents with a surname of Taylor and her brothers with the surname of Scott and her husband as Troy Taylor. Wilma Fields helped us out on that one when she found the 1920 Wagoner Co., OK, census with the Scott family listed. That information was added with a note about the obit being in error. Thanks, Wilma, for your help. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/monett/monett.htm On Clark Cemetery, Beverly Painter added some notes for Catron and Woodward fromt he death certificate files. Thanks, Beverly, we are always glad to get documentation to add to our cemetery files. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/clark/clark.htm A big thanks to Linda Stephens McCormick who sent us a very nice old photo of James Albert and Brice Bryan Stephens. Brice was Albert's youngest son and Albert was the sheriff of Barry from 1896 to 1900. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/photos/photoalbum2/phs2.2.htm I moved some of the text items to another folder in the directory and so Linda Garrett burned some Internet time when she double checked all the text items in the school books to see if they were all opening okay. Thanks ever so much, Linda, you saved me a lot of time by helping out with this project. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/schoolbook/schoolbook.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/schoolbook/schoolbook2.htm And on the granddaddy of cemeteries - Monett IOOF - has a lot of new entries and photos today. If I add a few every day, one day they will all be done - or anyway, I think that is the way it works. This fine piece of work is that of our cemetery man, Jay Trace. A lot of people are going to find these records useful. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/monett/monett.htm With each one of these new things we added today, I think that we have helped stamp out the incorrectness that is sometimes added to Internet genealogy. Last night I was looking at a Barry County file that was posted somewhere on the web and saw that the researcher had four children born after the mother died. I felt my blood get a little warm as I thumbed through this person's work and noticed dozens of things that couldn't possibly be right. I told myself that maybe this lady was doing us all a favor by showing us how sloppy and bad research makes us all look and that maybe we should be more appreciative of those of you who work so hard to get and keep the record correct. So - with that I say thank you to Barry County researchers for all you do. Donna Cooper
