Thank you all for your letters of appreciation. Like Jo, I have wondered where the Dillon Herald accessed these lists. There was no hint in the paper. Just the heading and the lists. I tried to get actual copies of the articles at the paper but they told me those issues were too brittle to copy. I am searching the Dillon Herald on microfilm trying to find an article for a subscriber so if I run across anything else as interesting as this I will be sure to post it. Also, I have just returned from doing a lookup at the Latta Library and they have the 1880 census in book form. This is a little easier on the eyes than searching the microfilm. I will be glad to do look-ups in that book. Helen

Helen, That was a real find. You have made a lot of people very happy. Thanks from many of us. Has anyone ever heard of a community in NC by the name of Barnwell or Barnville? I think it must have been just over the line. This should have been in the early 1900's. Thanks, Betty Jo Stewart
