This took several papers to print, it is an epic and covers Barnesville's History from 1800-1886. There are hundreds of names, there are also whole articles devoted to certain merchants. It is broken up into three time periods. I had a hard time trying to copy this and then cutting it into readable strips (it was a logistical nightmare because you had to line up the copies once made, tape them and then cut them-sometimes columes were missing, etc.) Does anyone know if this is on any of the web sites? I hate to duplicate someones work or bore half the group. This would take several emails but it does have good early history and lots of names. The Official Title was BARNESVILLE From 1800 to 1886 The Men Who Conquered the Wilderness And Laid the Foundation of the Town A COMPLETE HISTORY Of the Events of Seventy-Five Years Three Periods of Progression Hamlet, Village and Town From the Log Hut to the Business Palace The Old Town Described and It's Business' Located THE MEN OF THE DAY Who Direct our Vocations and Concerns Sketches of Leading Business Houses And The Work Done by our People Attend the Efforts of the Live Business Men of Barnesville The Enterprise Continues its Work of Local Chronicler By Publishing a Graphic Sketch of the Past and Present Status of the Town (This was the entire front page of the first edition) -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. That gives you some idea of the verbage of the articles. I have mounted these clippings in a spiral notebook and the book if filled, so this is no small undertaking. I propose to list the articles with the names involved, then if you are interested, you email me and I will send the article to you scanned as well as I can. For those of you with microfilm access, this is from Roll #28993 the Barnesville Enterprise. Bonnie, let me know if this is not acceptable otherwise I will forge ahead. Pam
