Spouse: Burial: Barnes Family Cemetery Brooklyn Halifax County, Virginia Find A Grave Memorial# 122738186 Booboo's Hundred Years-Life on Brooklyn Road in Halifax County, Virginia The Society's Latest Publication The Society has just published Booboo's Hundred Years-Life on Brooklyn Road in Halifax County, Virginia. Ruby Barnes was born in 1886 and lived to be over 100 years old. She received the nickname "Booboo" from one of her grandchildren who could not pronounce "Granny Ruby". Ruby Barnes was a great storyteller. Fortunately for her family, she lived long enough for them to realize that her wealth of knowledge and wisdom should be recorded. When in her 90s and blind from cataracts, she began making oral history tapes for the family. They were astounded at the details she recalled from her history. This book is a tribute to her amazing mind. Sam Barnes, a grandson of Ruby Barnes, typed up copies of the tapes for family and friends. Ginger Gentry, a member of the board, approached Mr. Barnes asking for permission for the Society to publish a first printing on her memoirs. The Society is delighted to share with the public another part of our heritage. This book details life in this area during the late 1800s and 1900s. Sam Barnes, coauthor of the book, was in the area for two days. Signings were held at the Prizery in South Boston and at Brooklyn Tobacco Factory on River Road. Cost of the book is $20.00.
