I believe I saw a copy of the Eight Square School photo once, perhaps while visiting the school site? I do seem to recall, being excited to see it, because of all the Blattenberger-s in the picture, particularly my Great Grandfather Bert. The other boys were some of his brothers. There were 7 brothers, 2 sisters in that family.

I am wondering where you obtained your copy to use in this publication. It would be nice to have a copy of the picture, closer to the original as this is a copy of a copy I suspect.

Many of the names listed are sprinkled throughout my family names list too. Barefoot, Ickes, Feathers, Miller, Griffith, Blackburn...and more...

I am glad I found your site, and will follow it now. I just created one for OUR family. Sometime, look at: http://blattenblogger.blogspot.com/

More will hopefully follow soon.

My husband took the photos of the Eight Square School many years ago. The school has been refurbished and I think moved to this locality. We were visiting the area. These are the best copies that I have.

90th Commemorative Book Posted

The 90th Commemorative Booklet for the Barefoot Reunions is now all posted. It took a while to scan, upload, and label each page. You are able to copy and paste it into a word processing software program for private printing. What the committee who compiled the book desired to do is to save the minutes, the notices, and the photos that still exist. It was not meant to be a story; rather it is a compilation of things past.

Sylvia Coleman began the layout, Vicki Erdley typed the old minutes except for the later ones typed by Bobbie Ann Woodley, Sec., and Sylvia Sonneborn did the layout. Betsy Hawthorne was the historian who looked up lineage and kept track of obituaries. Other researchers contributed information, including Sharon Sheldon, Becky Barefoot, Bill Kreiger, Gary Mickle, and Dale McLaughlin as well as records kept by Ella Hammer Krise, my mother Elizabeth Mae Krise Hott, and my sister Eleanor Lee Hott Kinnan. Older members of the clan, unknown to me, are also responsible for researching and saving information about the Barefoot Family.

DIRECTIONS TO ENLARGE: To enlarge a page for ease in reading, just click on the page and it will be larger. Back arrow to return.

We are asking that you do not copy this book and present it in a tome for sale. This information should remain free to be shared by all those descended from or interested in the Ross and Barefoot Families.

Enjoy a journey through memory's lane with your bare feet propped up on a hassock. Learn to know your ancestors so that you will recognize them in that great reunion that we will all have some day. So now, we give you the hard-working, serious, intellectual, productive, and sometimes funny Barefoot men and women of the past whose blood continues to flow through our veins to keep their legacy alive today.
