Good Morning: Our featured photo is one of Emmert Parmley and Bruce "Jake" Lowe that came from Gerald Lowe. It is a photo that belongs to Carl Gilmore a relative of Gerald's. It is a wonderful photo and want to thank all of you who helped with the project. It is a world war I photo and we don't get many of those on the site so I thought it would be a good one to feature. If you notice the wheels on this old truck you will certainly see how far we have progressed in the military. I don't know much about world war I vehicles but this one looks like it has steel wheels to me. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/bryfams.htm Carney Cemetery is progressing and I have a little over half of it on the web. I still lack about 115 photos being finished but thought you might want to take a look at it. As I loaded the photos I was reminded of the double murder that happened in our county in 1869. It was the murder of Jackson and his wife, Mary Cordelia (Williams) Carney. George Moore, the murderer and Jackson's cousin, was soon thereafter hanged in Cassville from the bell post and was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in an unmarked grave. In his chance to confess, he denied that he had robbed and killed the Carney couple. They said that 21 year old, Dave Carney, another Carney cousin, kicked the box from under him and sent him to his doom. I don't know if this is the only lynching party that Cassville has ever seen or not, but suspect so and imagine that it will forever hold that distinction. The newspaper that reported the incidnet has some facts about the story. I added that to the opening page of Carney Cemetery so that you can read it, too. George Washington Moore's parents both died of small pox and so he was raised in the same home as Jackson Carney by John and Sarah (Moore) Carney. His mother was Mariah Carney a sister of John Carney's and some researchers speculate that he was also related through the Moore family, too. Harrison Moore, who had died of small pox, was his father's name and some say that he was possibly was a cousin or brother to Sarah Moore, Jackson's mother. The Carney family came to Barry County from Edwards Co., IL and Thomas Carney brought a large family to the area in the early days of the county. Thomas and Susan Carney are both buried in the Older Carney Cemetery but most of their children are in the one I'm working on now. >From the early death certificates and newspapers I learned that the newer Old Carney Cemetery was sometimes called Pleasant Hill Cemetery and so I added that to our files, too. Thomas Carney served as a Barry County judge from 1863 to 1868 and so he had some clout and prominence in the county. He was the grandfather of Jackson Carney and the father of John Carney - but he was also the grandfather of George Washington Moore and the father of his mother, Mariah. Do any of you know who Mary C. (Williams) Carney's parents were? Our thanks to Diana Cope for this nice cemetery addition. It adds a lot of history and the stone photos add documentation to our cemetery files. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/old.carney/old.carney.htm Donna Cooper
