Letter: hopes to contact writer Greg Burton

Charles Burton requests contact:
I'm looking to contact the person who wrote an article for you in about 2006/07 - local history, Thomas Burton of Cobb's Plantation Virginia by Greg Burton . If possible I'd like to get in touch with him - I think I'm related to him.

His son Andrew Burton went with him to visit Cobb's plantation. I think I'm related to the Burtons that came from Green and Adair County. I live in the DC area so my family left a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure that we're from the same group of people and I just want to get family information. I'm wondering if you have contact information for Greg Burton. The article says he lived in Tennessee at that time so I suspect that he lived in Columbia before he went to Tennessee. I would appreciate a call at 301-432-6206 - if I'm not here leave me a message. - CB
Columbia Magazine is dedicated to linking the generations. We hope to help make family contacts and searched the comments that came in after Greg Burton wrote his article. Click here to read the related letters.

Phillip Coffey - Dem Bones

DEM BONES - By Phillip Coffey

Mosing along -'them bones, 'dem bones', creaking along in his hand-me- down clothes.
Thunder and lightning, sometimes, so it often be true in these parts.
Creeks arising - mud washing down the sides of the ole familiar hills.
Swiftly fill up the creek bottoms - After a short while, cover up the corn crops.

Slowing down his pace - his feet 'sho' be sore, catch a ride for a mile or two.
But throughout all of these years - lost his appeal - keep on walking.
Break off a sturdy tree limb, use as a crutch - comes in handy when you 'ain't 'got much.
Find a dry place - use as an overhang clift for cover! Tidy up when the storm is over.

Chasing items with an educational theme

By Mike Watson

This week at the Genealogy & History Research Center we have been chasing items with an educational theme. There are numerous paper and photographic items that may fall into this category, including: school building photos, school group photos, reunion photos, class lists, school censuses, teaching tools, old school books, school yearbooks/annuals, teachers' certification, diplomas, newspaper advertisements for school's opening or closing dates, newspaper articles about teachers, students, parties and programs, graduations, pie suppers, Christmas trees, schools being discontinued, buildings being constructed or sold to be replaced, and much more.

Attached to this article are two Adair County News advertisements from the early days of the twentieth century.
