Maude Geraldine Barrier Allmon
I found your posting by accident about Silas Barrier.This is the Barrier family who lived in Logan, Iowa?If so Silas Barrier and Edna Pierce Barrier are my great grandparents.I noticed that you have listed a Maude and a Geraldine Barrier as their children.To my knowledge, Maude and Geraldine are the same person.My grandmother was Maude Geraldine Barrier.She hated the name Maude and chose to go by Geraldine.
Maude Geraldine Barrier married Bruce Allmon of Missouri Valley, Iowa and had four children.All of them are still living except for Keith.He died before he was a year old and is buried outside of Beebeetown, Iowa.The three living children are Edna "Marlene" Allmon, Bruce Allmon, and Eleanor Garside.Eleanor is my mother.
I am interested in any information you have about Silas and his previous relatives.Here is what I know:
Silas was a large man with black hair and blue eyes.He was Irish and before moving to Logan, Iowa he owned a horse farm in Kentucky.They lost it during thedepression.
I would appreciate anything you have already learned about them.
Thanks
