Please excuse me as I am re-sending this post, since I am new to the List. I haven't seen it pop up yet this morning and want to make sure it gets through. I am trying to share entries from my grandfather, Otis Benjamin Howard's journal. The names (below) are just from the 4 additional entries I put online this morning. There are other names in the journal entries already posted at the blog. I am trying to type and display a few at a time. I know that like myself, there are many of you who have common ancestors within several neighboring southwest Missouri counties. I just thought there might be an interest. Thank you for you time! Good Morning! I've added 4 more entries from Otis Benjamin Howard's journal at my blog. The dates are Dec.7, 1944 Dec. 14, 1944 Dec.21, 1944 October 25, 1945 These are typed 'as is' without grammatical/spelling corrections.
