I also noted discrepancies in information on Terrasa Barnes' marker and my genealogical records. My records show her death in Cove, Union County, Ore., in 1887. Her maiden name was Shrouse according to my records. Some believe it was Shouse. Two more mysteries to solve.
Genealogy is more than paperwork.
It can be both high adventure and relaxing in the beauty of grand scenery on a pleasant spring day. Perhaps I've been too absorbed with Day genealogy. Clearly I need to spend some time on the Barnes lines. That will be one of the results of our very pleasant visit to Paradise Cemetery on Memorial Day weekend. As I write this column, several layers of Barnes papers are scattered across my desk top.
