Stan Barnhill

Jeanette;

I'm very impressed with your detailed research on the descendants of James William Barnhill. I am updating my files, using information you posted in the Barnhill family forum. Following up on your information, I find Mary Boone Barnhill evidently had children by her second marriage. Your files indicate she was buried in West Chester County, New York. I have located a grave in the Pfeiffer cemetery in Escambia County, Florida with her name on it. The (Waldroup) headstone reads "Mother 1894 - 1965". It is a shared headstone and the other reads "Father 1884 - 1958". Assuming Mary remarried after 1939, her children would all be under the age of 70. Intelius "people search" shows many waldroups in the Pensacola area, and several under the age of 40. any one of these might be grandchildren. I have found in my research - sometimes a blind search like this produces results. It did in the past, but these days with so many people who are not willing to share personal information, genealogical information is harder to access.
Good luck - You are an "ace" researcher in my book...

Note: Mary Boone Barnhill Staples never remarried. She died in 1960 Death Record is pending.

Obituary--Richmond Times-Dispatch (VA) - May 2, 1992


Deceased Name: PUBLIC RELATIONS EXPERT BOONE S. YOUNG DIES
Boone Staples Young, who worked in Richmond public relations for four decades, died of lung cancer Monday at her son's home in Spokane, Wash. She was 75 and had lived at Imperial Plaza in North Richmond.

Mrs. Young wrote news releases and did other communications work for the the Richmond Metropolitan Blood Service, the Capital Area Agency on Aging, the Virginia Association of Nursing, the Virginia Tobacco Festival and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. "She did whatever they needed done in that field," said Mary G. Scherer Taylor, a former sister-in-law. "She was quite remarkable and very modest."

After Mrs. Young retired from the Metropolitan Blood Service in 1989, she became a Vista volunteer for the Literacy Council of Metropolitan Richmond. In 1990 she moved to Spokane to be with her son, John Scherer, and worked as an editorial assistant for his management consulting firm.

Mrs. Young, a Richmond native, attended St. Catherine's School and was graduated from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. During the late 1930s, she studied French at the Sorbonne in Paris. During World War II, she served briefly for the Navy in Washington.

She was a founding member of the Richmond chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators. She was a member of the Virginia Press Women and the Richmond Public Relations Association; and a 30-year member of the Altrusa Club, an organization for women in business.

Mrs. Young was a 50-year member of First English Lutheran Church in Richmond, where she taught Sunday school and edited the congregation's centennial history. She was the widow of Clifton H. Young and the former wife of the late J.J. Scherer III. Mrs. Young is survived by her son.

A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday at First English Lutheran Church at 1603 Monument Ave.

The family asks that memorial contributions be made to First English Lutheran Church or the church's Literacy Council.

HENRY STAPLES, Jr.: He had assigned an agent-- "Teton" was his code nameand he had, through whatever means those agents have, determined that the largest source of leakage was the Forminier mine and the diamonds from the-- that were leaked from the Forminier mine went to various points in Africa and from there were, by various routes, smuggled into Germany. Belgian Red Cross parcels were loaded with illegal diamonds and then sent to Switzerland, and from Switzerland to Belgium, which was, of course, occupied by the German forces.

This brings us back that I know at the time Rommel was the controlling force at that time in Germany
