Michele Rosewitz -----Original Message----- From: mobarry-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mobarry-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Donna Cooper Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2012 6:36 AM To: mobarry@rootsweb.com Cc: ruthietownsend@gmail.com Subject: [MOBARRY] Featured Photo & News List Readers, some of the news is that they are going to tear down the old Rock Springs Church, which is still standing next to their new building. Ruthie Walters Townsend lives in the school house across the road and she alerted us of the news by way of Face Book. The pioneers are buried there in the cemetery by her house. She took a photo of the old bell and of the building and so we are featuring it this week. We have 222 members on Face Book - Barry County, Places and Things Remembered. You are welcome to join us if you would like. The discussion this week has been interesting and several photos were posted. A photo of Albert Owens taken in Purdy and one of Tom Preddy were posted. Discussion of the Curry Store post card and the house behind it was one of the subjects. As soon as can - I will put those on Barry County Roots site. How many people do you think have walked through these doors and heard this old bell since 1868 or whatever year it was that this pioneer church was built? http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/bryfams.htm News update on my DNA - I have found a Simpson 5th cousin that connects with one of my Simpson families. In case you haven't been following - I have two Simpson families. This one connects in Kentucky about 1770 or earlier. This Simpson group apparently isn't related to the other one. I have to figure out how I connect but I am making progress on the study. After I finished painting last night I was up until midnight looking at files - reading wills and deeds. My web page work is suffering while I selfishly play with my DNA. Old House update - I am painting the kitchen now and hope to finish that process up in a couple of days. I HOPE - HOPE we can get cabinets and floor covering in soon! I am tired of using what we call a makeshift kitchen that we set up in the dinning room. We started remolding and building on Easter of last year and so I we are worn completely out with this project. Other updates - Last winter while we were camped in California I started writing fiction again. *drum roll* This week I sold a novel to Siren Publishers an e-book company. *drum roll* My book will be released in May with a paperback to follow in September. I am not sure about the details on the paperback - because it is an e-book. Amazon, Barnes and Noble and major companies will handle it and will be accessible for Nook, I Pad, and Kindle. It is a romance novel with a murder mystery suspense plot. The name of it is TROUBLE ON SUGAR CREEK and the setting is Barry County. The publisher could change the title and location - but so far haven't suggested that they would like to make any changes - so we will see. I suppose the love of writing is a gene my mother gave me, because she has published several novels. One of her books is LIBBY'S JOURNAL and is available on Amazon. On the Barry County Web site - I am competing six years as your coordinator this week on the 12th, the day before I roll over another birthday year. I have been rebuilding some of the pages and am working on Monett - IOOF since we have some new photos to post that Connie Schmidt took. Phyllis Long, my helper has been suffering from carpal tunnel and eye problems. I really miss her help - but most of all hope she gets well fast. Have a good Sunday and enjoy this warm January weather.
