I am still trying to figure out who's who. There are about 20 tin types and numerous other pictures. Mart, Alf, Mary, Nellie, Bessie, ma & pa and then their extended families and even some humoruos photo's. But I'd be glad to copy some for you. A friend and I are going to see if we can scan the tin types. Maybe you can help name them too! I don't have a bunch on the Bolin's. However an aunt and I went to the Owlsey Cemetery near Goodman and also took pictures of the tombstones. Will you send me your family info? I'd like to put it in my Family Tree Maker program. Maybe tomorrow night I can scann some here, the actual photo's not the tin types. Debi Waterman

the video store by Boatman's Bank has a video on the haunts of the Ozarks. It's interesting.

My grandmother Maudie went to McGuire school and to the day she died she swears, them woods is haunted. I listened with great interest. After thinking about all this I wondered if it were bootleggers, staying clear of government men! debi

The September Cemetery Hop will be a planning session at the Old Jail in Forsyth. We will meet at the Longhorn for breakfast at 8AM and wander to the Jail about 9 AM. The main thing is to plan our course to follow for the winter and spring. Brian Shay

My grandmother, Edith Jackson Herndon, told me many stories about spook lights. When I was a kid, all the kids in the neighborhood (here in California) loved to have her tell us spook light stories and other scary tales. My cousin, Connie Gold Wilson, has a photograph taken in front of her folks barn and it is said to contain the image of an Indian ghost. In looking at the photo, you might think that it is just a matter of how the late afternoon light hit the lens of the camera. It is much more fun to believe in the spook lights and keep us all children forever! Lou Ann Vogler

I remember such a story of my grandma(Eula), but don't know exactly where they were living in MO. at the time. Here goes: She said her sister Nellie, and brother Paul were with her, and they were on their way home. When all of a sudden a bright light appeared all the way around them, and seemed to follow them. They were so scared. She said Nellie started crawling, she started running, and Nellie still beat her home The light disappeared. She didn't say how long it was before Paul got there. Though I know he did, as he's still living. Grandma, and Nellie laughed about it years later. They never saw the light again. Of course this was before they had electricity.

One of the few stories my Mom told about her dad was when they first moved to Ark he was out hunting and didn't shoot anything until close to dusk. By the time he was ready to go home he realized 'he was lost being in new surrounding" knowing a few direction signs he started to follow but saw a light in the other direction and went to it the light stayed steady until he got within a few feet of it then disappeared.but down the hill he could make out home with his 3 boys playing in the yard.

George Bolin & George Ann Moser were my g-grand parents. Martin a G-uncle & Nellie a great-aunt. I would be very interested in obtaining a copy of any thing that you discovered. Thanks!! Don Bolin [email protected]

Hello MOSTONERS, There is a story about the Ozarks Spook Lights in the Family Stories section. I know it isn't about genealogy but it is quite interesting and was written by John Harris who grew up in Stone County. So for those of you have wondered about the tall tales of spook lights you will enjoy it. The direct link is: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mostone/stories/harris.htm Happy reading. Jo

I just returned from the Allen-Parrott reunion in Cassville, Mo. And I feel like I hit the mother load! I tin prints pre civil war for sure and what looks like (dress the dress) possiably early 1800's. One is of an indian looking young lady in a white gentleman's jacket. The families included in these are George Bolin, Martin Bolin, Nellie Bolin and Georgia Ann Moser of MacDonald Co>Barry Co>Stone Co and Ks and Carroll Co. AR Every year Sunday before Labor Day...12:30 at the Cassville Senior Citizens Center. Nice place. With room for the children to play.
