Thank you Les S. & Betty B. for your follow-up message regarding the location of "Beatyville", Jackson Co. An unincorporated hamlet of a sort named after it's most notable inhabitants; if not it's only inhabitants. Would that be a fair assessment of the place? No need to reply.. that was just me thinking out loud. Does anyone recognize the name / person of John Jacob BAKER (1852-1931) a mail carrier in and around the area of Ravenswood? I am also seeking information regarding Jesse James BAKER (the son of Sarah & John Jacob BAKER) who I believe married Dorothy (nee CASTO). Thanks for your help. Bette
