Emma writes to Leona in an undated letter:

There were also records of my family's membership and their dismissal by letter on December 26, 1908, when they moved to Vinita, Oklahoma. I was 2 years old. My husband, Dallas Luttes, and I attended this Centennial with Edna and Harrison Barlow. They were then living on the old Barlow place. While I was there, I got them the records from the Old Barlow Bible. A few years later, the old house with all the records, pictures and Bible, burned.

Harrison, born in 1889, and Edna, born in 1900, never married. They live on a farm near Gasconade River and the old home place. Their address: Route #2 Box 105, Richland, Missouri.

Harrison is the fifth, and Edna, is the tenth and the youngest of Tennis Barlow's children. The Rollins Cemetery where so many of the family are buried is near their home but not on the highway, Old #66. The Berean Church is on the north side of the highway. It is near Waynesville, but it is in the country.
