The
Pointed stone is not hers.

certificate is below on this page.
She was born in Bell's.
Dau. of Bob & Mary Hollins.
That leaves a new question of who
is buried in the line of stones who has
the pointed stone her little stone is
leaning on above?

William P.
Barnes
Born 13
Dec 1870
Died 25 March 1947
His death
certificate below on this page.
His tombstone stone is the 3rd in the
lineup.
That gap in the 4th place is where I
think her stone
originally was.
In the 1950 Census,
Janie is living with Will Johnson
& Anna his wife and she is 80
years old. She died later that year.
She was widowed. Also in the household
is Anna Galbreath age 86. They live in
Valley View in Cook County
Dropping back
in time to 1940
census. We find them in Grayson
County, living on the Bells - Ida
Road.
She is with her husband; William .
Anna Galbreath is in the household
along with Sallie Davis age 65. Both
were sister in laws.

is on the Tomb Bean to Bells rd. Her
parents were both born in Texas as she
was. Husband is listed as Will P
Barnes.

Clarence Johnson age 14. As well as
another , Dorothy Ballard age 7.

town road. (same as the 1930). William

stepdaughter and son living in the

Her original tombstone is
nearby in pieces at the bottom off a
curbing. I think
the person mowing moved it to make
it easy to mow between. The little
rectangle is easy to move too and
was just sitting there.
But close
by, Jane Barns original
tombstone is in pieces there. You
can read enough to see it is her, I
think it fell apart out in the line
of her family stones and someone
mowing picked them up and set them
in the curbing so they could mow
easily.
Since her stone wasn't in the family
lineup any more the family made the
rectangle stone.
The pieces are laid in the right bottom
spot.
See closeup to the right
I do not know who the
date on the curb belongs too.
