Stones can be ordered for any veteran of any war, and the markers are free.

When they arrive you will have to find someone to install it, but most Sons of the Confederate Veterans (SCV) and Sons of the Union Veterans (SUV) groups are always willing to install them for Civil War Veterans as well as Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) and other groups.

 Barry Co., MO, Confederate Soldiers of 11th Regiment, Missouri Infantry

• Corp. Michael Weeks Berryhill - He is buried in Barry Co., MO, in Berryhill Cemetery. From a sketch that was published in the Cassville Republican in 1896: Uncle Mike was a firm believer in Jefferson Davis and state rights (but denounces in strong terms the present Democratic Congress.) And when the struggle came he espoused the Confederate cause and served four years. In the last year he was engaged in thirteen battles. He was 2nd Lieutenant under Lieut. Winton, but never in his life received a bullet wound. "Although," he said, "I have had my clothes shot full of holes, it seems like a kind of a Providence interfered on my behalf many times. But the saddest sight I saw and one that aroused my sympathy most was a Federal Soldier with both arms off, carrying water to a dying comrade."

• Pvt. Charles Marion Haddock - Went by Marion, was a brother to Noah and Boone. May have died in Texas.

• Pvt. Noah Haddock - Is buried in Chitwood Cemetery, Barry Co., MO, brother to Marion and Boone, son of Charles & Sarah (Collins) Haddock, Sr. His father was killed by Bushwhackers somewhere near the Indian Creek area and not far from Garfield, AR, but was a Barry County resident. 

• Pvt. Boone Haddock - Is buried in Haddock Cemetery, Barry Co., MO, in the Mark Twin National Forest, brother to Noah and Marion. He married Columbia Russell, a descendant of Zachariah Haddock.

February 1, 1912, Thursday, Cassville Republican, Barry Co., MO - Interesting Letter from one of Barry County's Pioneer Citizens - Mr. Editor: - I have just returned from Cassville where I was called to attend the funeral of one of my aunts, Mrs. Anna McCary, who died at Fairview and was taken to the Horner Cemetery where she was raised. My grandfather Horner was the first one to be buried there fifty years ago. While I was there my mind ran back to my boyhood days.

I am 63 years old. Came to Cassville in the year 1851 with my parents and spent my boyhood days around Cassville, Barry County. When I looked over Cassville and saw the fine houses, my mind went back 55 years ago. There was then 8 or 10 little log cabins. In those days we worked cattle instead of horses. Cut our wheat with a reap hook frailed it out. Some times a person could sell a load of wood for 75 cents per cord.

In '61 came that awful war. I have seen 20,000 soldiers camped in Cassville, at one time. I saw Price's army march through Cassville going to fight at Wilson Creek. There was plenty of game in those days such as turkey, bear, and dear. Bear was plenty on Rock creek and Rock House. I helped to kill a bear when a boy on the head of Rock House by the spring, called the Neasley spring, but now is the Moulder Spring. I will tell you how the young folks did. I was 7 years old when I got my first pair of pants, mother spun the cloth for them. I was ten years old when my father made me a pair of shoes. People came very near starving in those days. We had to grit corn for our bread, pay 50 cents a pint for salt, 50 cents a pound for coffee, flour $10 per hundred, corn $2. per bushel, calico 25 cents a yard, and the worst of all no law to govern us. Everybody turned loose.

I enlisted in the army at the age of 16, when it ended I found myself in Tennessee, I served in the 2 Arkansas Calvary. I want to hear from some of my comrades.

Tuesday July 22 was recalled vividly by E. Williamson, J. B. W. Bennington and Thomas Arnold as the 55th anniversary of the battle between the armies of Generals Sherman and Hood near Atlanta, Ga. This was one of the fiercest battles of the Civil war. These men were in the battle and they say July 22 never passes that they do not recall the events of that awful day. In this battle General McPherson lost his life at the head of his army corps. July 24, 1919, Cassville Republican
