It's foggy here this morning but we are expecting a high of 80. We had to turn on the a/c last night for awhile and cool the house down - the temp inside was 79 but the air was so humid it felt hotter. Turned it off before going to bed. I think it is going to stay warm the rest of the week. Don't know when or if we will get any rain. It is so dry here we really need some rain. Hope everybody is being good and getting ready for Santa. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Jackson" <kjchowboy@bellsouth.net> To: <palmertree@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, December 15, 2008 10:49 PM Subject: [PTREE] Weather > Peggy and all: > > Yes, it rained here all day, with the temps in the mid-upper 50s.

O.D. and all: I assume you are referring to Adelbert's father, Roan L. Barrentine, when you write about the C.S.A. military service below. You noted that he was wounded at Murfreesboro, Tennessee and was sent home to recover from his wounds. My g-g grandfather, Andrew Jackson Lawrence (from Attala Co., MS) served in Company G, 30 Mississippi Regiment. He also fought at the Battle of Stones River at Murfreesboro, TN (31 Dec 1862 - 3 Jan 1863). He died in battle on 1 Jan 1863 and was buried on the battlefield. I live about 25 miles from Murfreesboro, and have wanted for a long time to go to the National Cemetery there and visit the graves of all those who died in that tragic battle. They have a walking tour of the park, but I don't think I'd be able to make it the whole way around. I tire out too easily with this heart problem. Maybe when I get a Jazzy motor chair I can keep up with the walkers.... ha. I'm gonna put racing stripes on it, a glass muffler, and super-charged motor so I can leave everyone in the dust...... ha. -----Original Message----- 35th Mississippi Regiment, Company-K.

Peggy and all: Yes, it rained here all day, with the temps in the mid-upper 50s. Then this afternoon, the temps started to drop and we are in for an ice event. The temp is already 22 here at 9:45 p.m. I would like to see the ice, because it really is pretty on the trees, but sure don't want an ice storm like we experienced 15 years ago! I'm about done with my shopping, too. Just a few more items for stockings. I need to get my rump in gear and get to wrapping the gifts I already bought. Everyone stay safe and warm, (or safe and cool for all our chilly-willy cousins...) Ken

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year   To everybody on the list   Eunice Palmertree Harbin

We went to Greenwood Friday, & got gas for 1.55. In Winona it was 6 or 7 cents more. It would be nice if we could get it for .25 cent, like back in the 50's or 60's. Ken, what is the weather doing in Tenn.? Rain here but talk of ice in the Northern part of the State. Just hope it don't come down this far. Hope everyone has all their gifts. I like 2 but 1 won't be bad to get. Her daughter said "She loves fruit cake." But I don't do fruit cake. Let her daughters make the cakes. Happy shopping & HOLIDAYS!!! Peggy

That's a better price than her in Ga, we have lows around $1.43 to $1.47, I hope it will last but that could be wishful thinking...

I am awed by Washington's prayer for America Have you ever read it? Well, now is your unique opportunity, so read on! "Almighty God; We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government; and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

>From the Mississippi Project - American Local History Network Yellow Fever Epidemic [snip... first mention of yellow fever in Mississippi August 22, 1701 through 1800s...) ...The disease appeared again, but not seriously in 1879. When in 1886 the yellow fever appeared at Biloxi, the State Board of Health was able to confine it to Harrison county. There were 270 cases and 12 deaths.

So there was an epidemic in Mississippi I 1887, and that could be the reason for the Barrentine children's deaths. However, infant mortality was common in the 1880s.

I went to find a grave and looked up Centerville Cemetery in Carroll Cty. There I found this information: R.L. and C.A. Barrentine had these children (at least these are the ones buried in the cemetery): Ulysses Adelbert - born 9/21/1874, died 6/12/1893 Azariah G. - born 9/1876, died 6/22/1887 Christopher C. - born 7/25/1880, died 6/5/1887 Joseph - born 6/28/1885, died 6/20/1887 Nathan Lewis - born 4/13/1890, died 1/30/1901 R. Wesley - born 2/18/1887, died 9/17/1895 R.L. Barrentine was born 10/11/1843, died 5/30/1934 and is buried in the Poplar Springs Cemetery. Now, my question is this. What in the world happened in June 1887 to cause 3 of there children to die within days of each other? Is that not strange?

O.D., Since he died in 1918, have you tried to see if he has a death certificate at the Mississippi Dept. of Archives and History" Ken -----Original Message----- Ken, For the entire time of my research, I have been looking for the parents of "Tom" Sanders. I don't know if Tom was short for Thomas or not but I have him as William Tom Sanders, born-15 Oct 1882 and died 29 Jan 1918. He married Mary Dora Bailey,

I haven't been on here in a few days. Work is drowning me. And I try to do some of it at home when I leave at 5:30. Having your own business is very rewarding, but it can be very tiring also. So, O.D., you believe Adelbert to be the father of Delbert Hubert? I really think that he is the one. Now if I could find out any other info on the Barrentine family. But you have provided me with a lot of information, and I do so appreciate it. I am not through digging. Whether Robert comes around or not, I will still seek the answer. He just has a hard time with all of this, having never known Delbert or never even seeing him, except for a picture. Of course, his 2 brothers and 2 sisters felt the loss maybe even greater, as they knew him as their father.
