I have a 2006 rural directory. The Denton property is now owned by the descendents of Dorothy Pagan (Gladys Denton's daughter). The Barber place is now owned by Caroline Moore. The Barnaby place I think was run by Jerry Hubbell at one time, so he may have owned it when your map came out.

I ran into Wayne Barnaby yesterday and asked if he remembered rock fences. He said that there used to be parts of rock fences on the North line and there were some fences on the "third hill" on the South side of the property.

Maybe my memory isn't just playing tricks on me. Would that have been around 1960? That is the only time I can remember having a reason for being at the cemetery.

Marty,

When you say you ran into Wayne Barnaby yesterday, did you mean the Wayne Barnaby like in Wayne and Waunita, the twins? The Barnaby kids that went to school when I went to school.

Janet,
The one and only. Wayne lives in Tennessee and I believe he is going to join up with this forum when he gets home. Marty

Well, what in the world was he doing in Kansas? I have heard that he has done well for himself in Tennessee. I hope he does join. That will be fun.

He was in Moran working with a friend. He called me at work and then we were able to meet up at Poplar Pizza in the evening. Very good to see him, and yes from what I could tell he has done quite well. He came in dressed in a suit that made my lowly banker clothes feel kind of shabby. Cool isn't it?

I remember rock fences on the north side of the Denton farm. Grandma Gladys and I once walked the north border of the property from the Cable TV Tower back to the old house. She would get upset when she would find places where the fence had been torn apart, I seem to remember she said that coon hunters would tear apart the fences to get to the coons.

Do you think there is any of the fence left? Could you take some pictures and share them?

I won't be back in Howard until July, but if anyone wants permission to get on the property, check with Ted Winn and tell him I said it would be OK. Otherwise, I'll be sure to see what is left and post some pictures later this summer. Kevin
