I saw this posting on the Barnett List. I too am
interested in finding out where the children went. My
great-great-grandmother was Viola Barnett, b.
3-9-1872, who married Alva C. Hower. I have been
unsuccessful finding out anything about her, other
than she and Alva lived in the Decatur area according
to the 1908 Adams Co. Directory. See below:

I realize that these Barnetts went to Montgomery Co,
but could the children have been given to Barnett
family members in Adams Co?
Thanks,
