351	BIOGRAPHY: My father (your grandfather Brown) was born on the old (since1836) family truck farm, which for years now has been inside the built-up area of greater Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He has told me about his father's love for the chattering little red squirrels, of the root cellars where they stored apples, onions, potatoes, cider, vinegar, even the four and corn meal they had ground. The house was large - ten bedrooms - but of course had no bathrooms, running water, gas, or electricity. We have a photograph of it, which we can't date. Dad remembers helping to set drainage tiles six or eight feet deep, and also loading wagons of produceto sell in Milwaukee. BIOGRAPHY: When Dad was about eleven, the homestead was sold, and his father bought 360 acres of wheat farming land in southern Kansas, nea rthe small town of Genda Springs. This was because Dad's mother had been told that she must have a drier climate (two sisters had died as young adults from "lung trouble"). The Kansas farm is the one my sisters and brother and I used to visit every summer; this was after Dad's sister Priscilla and her husband Harry Leland had the farm; we also visited three or four miles away with Dad's sister Helen and her husband "Joe"(Arthur Jacob) Miller. There is still a working farm in my family in the area; my first cousin Mildred Leland Woods and her husband farm just outside Oxford, Kansas. Her brother Harold (and his wife Doris) Leland live in nearby Arkansas City, and her sister Marjorie has a daughter, Joyce (a twin, and one of three) who turned up most of the information on page 7, during a trip to England. BIOGRAPHY: My father (your grandfather Brown) apparently met my mother on one of his visits to his sister Alice Jennings in Caney; my mother was teaching school in Caney at that time. When he finished high school (as I have heard the story at various times from him) he spent part of a year in a college in Winfield, Kansas, then rented a farm; he farmed about a year, living alone, and then decided to try his luck on the west coast .He sold chinaware and other household items in the Los Angeles area (apparently not very successfully) and then moved north. The chronologyis sketchy, but he went to work for Western Electric in Washington, and ultimately ran a crew out of Bellingham keeping the telephone lines over the Cascades in service; quite a job in the winter! In 1912 or 1913, somehow, he was running a line crew that brought telephones to the oil boomtown of Drumright, Oklahoma. He had apparently been looking for a chance to settle down in Kansas or Oklahoma (possibly he had already met my mother) and, on finding no electrical shop in this town (population was never more - permanently- than 4000, but the mail address at that time of 50,000, due to the boom) he resigned his job by mail and started one. He has told me that his first contract was to wire a gasoline plant for Harry Sinclair.	Brown, Leonard Leroy Jr. (I7449)
352	BIOGRAPHY: My mother, Anna Dye Brown, was the oldest in a familystruggling to make ends meet. Her father, F. G. Dye, at this distancesounds like the most lovable possible man, and a complete failure as aprovider. There seem to have been many efforts made to see that she, asthe oldest, had good schools. Several different years she lived with theGoddens and went to school in Caney; at least one year it seems she livedwith her great uncle and aunt, Jimmy and Hattie Burns, and went to schoolin Kansas City. BIOGRAPHY: She apparently spent more time away from the farm in Missourithan she spent there. I don't, of course, know how old she was when thefarm was bought.	Dye, Anna Elizabeth (I4942)
353	Birth date calculated from death date on gravestone. She was 21 years, 10 months, 16 days old when she died.	Brown, Sarah (I957)
354	birth place: My master FGS says b. Rehoboth (Attleboro?), Bristol Co., Mass.; then crossed out and New Bedford inserted; also "of Brockton, Mass." Editors note in Barney Family history corrects Mr. Preston's birthdate for Ezra of 1838 "Jacob Barney, 1634," by Mary E. Wesbrook, p 157; New Bedford Vital Records Rhode Island Vital Records (1853-1900) He died at the age of 66 yrs 3 mos & 16 dys. (suicide, according to Wesbrook)	Barney, Ezra Bradford (I2004)
355	Birth year surmised from high school graduation year. Day of year from Hildred Wilson's date book.	Wilson, Darle Dwight (I649)
356	birth: 1763 from WFT #2:2108 "The History of Woodstock, Connecticut," by Clarence Winthrop Bowen Name: Spelled "Shortt" in the Woodstock History; spelled "Short" in the GBFA "Jacob Barney, 1634" p 125 by Mary E. Wesbrook, 1982. WCB: Apparently we don't know exactly who the Polly Barney was who md. Shubael Short. She was probably either #328 Polly -- but Mr. Preston wasn't positive that there was a daughter Polly in this family -- or she was #348 Mary Barney, dau. of Benaiah and Anna (Goff) Barney (p.58 of GBFA). So, lacking other evidence, I am linking Shubael Short with #348 Mary Barney. death date/place: died 29 May 1842 in Calais,Washington Co.,Vt., according to LDS PRF #6, Bruce A. & Katherine J. Hamlin, 512 Quarter St., Rochester, MI 48307, Date 10 Oct 1999 [Re. LDS Ancestral File, I think].	Short, Shubael (I3668)
357	Birth: Jun. 24, 1927 Death: Sep. 20, 2007 Ralph E. Allar, 80, died on Thursday, Sept. 20, 2007, following a hard-fought 28-year struggle with Parkinson's disease. He was born on June 24, 1927, in Springbrook to Ralph and Irene (Trepania) Allar. He graduated from Spooner High School with the class of 1945. After high school, he served his country as a U.S. Marine. Once discharged from the service, he was employed for 13 years as a supervisor and salesman for Madison Silo. Ralph also worked as a manager for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and in maintenance at Riverside Medical Center before he joined the staff of the Waupaca Foundry in 1966. Ralph made his career at the Waupaca Foundry as a quality assurance manager, retiring in 1988. On February 3, 1951, Ralph married Elaine Schmidt at St. John's Lutheran Church in Shiocton, where he was baptized and confirmed on April 22, 1951. He and Elaine had been married for 56 years at the time of his passing. Ralph was a man of great spirit, a spirit that not even Parkinson's could defeat. He faced the disease on his own terms. He was a man of honor, integrity, and quiet strength. He challenged those who shared his road to be better people. Ralph is survived by his loving wife, Elaine, of Waupaca; children, Barbara Allar of Waupaca, Gene (Rebecca) Allar of Farmerville, La., and Lisa (Rod) Minton of Waupaca and their sons, Derrick, Dylan, and Devin Minton; brothers, Duane (Shirley) of Eatonville, Wash., and Allan (Kathleen) of Beardstown, Ill.; sisters, Loretta Peterson of Springbrook and Betty Allar of Stevens Point; brother-in-law, Robert Schmidt, of Greenville; many nieces and nephews; other relatives; and many friends. He was preceded in death by his parents; father- and mother-in-law, Walter and Theresa Schmidt; and sister-in-law, Joyce Schmidt.	Allar, Ralph Jr. (I2725)
358	birth: WFT #2:2108 has 28 Nov 1762; WFT #3:2188 has 28 Nov 1762 children: WFT #2:2108 lists only two: Nancy and Shubel P.; so does WFT #3:2188 The descendants in WFT #2:2108 and #3:2188 appear to be identical; probably from the same WFT submitter. "The History of Woodstock, Connecticut," by Clarence Winthrop Bowen GBFA p.58: "untraced; but could she have been the "Polly" who md. Shubael Short in 1782?" WCB: Apparently we don't know exactly who the Polly Barney was who md. Shubael Short. She was probably either #328 Polly -- but Mr. Preston wasn't positive that there was a daughter Polly in this family -- or she was #348 Mary Barney, dau. of Benaiah and Anna (Goff) Barney (p.58 of GBFA). So, lacking other evidence, I am linking Shubael Short with #348 Mary Barney. But we don't even know that he married "Miss" Polly Barney -- she may have been Mrs. Polly (_____) Barney. Descendants on "World Family Tree" 2:2108; gives her birth as 28 Nov 1762. Still doesn't solve the problem as to who her parents were. LDS PRF #6, Bruce A. & Katherine J. Hamlin, 512 Quarter St., Rochester, MI 48307, Date 10 Oct 1999 has her as the daughter of Daniel and Rachel (Bowen) Barney, b. 1764 in Swansea, Bristol Co., Mass. Children: I had Cyrenus, Nancy, & Shubel; the rest from LDS PRF #6, Bruce & Katherine Hamlin; birth places, Calais Township,Washington Co.,Vt., according to the Hamlins.	Barney, Mary "Polly" (I2059)
