Photos from Eileen HARBERT-Convery  - Photos of her great-grandparents, James W & Elma Henrietta "Nettie" Harbert & family and their descendants from Putnam County, Missouri... and photos of the family of her grandparents "Davy" & Zora Harbert - pioneers of the early Colorado frontier town of "Last Chance"...                                                                                    [added July 1, 2008]

STORIES - Elbert Francis Harbert & wife Sarah Ellen Shriver and Family - Elbert Francis Harbert & wife Sarah Ellen Shriver-Harbert leave Mason County, West Virginia and their family back home in Harrison County, West Virginia for Custer County, NEBRASKA.   A tragic story of the hardships they endured as they struggled to keep the family together after Sarah Ellen's tragic death within a year of their arrival in 1888.  Their story which is presented in a chronological format is one which has taken me over 3 years of research to complete.  I dedicate it to their descendants who still embody their rugged and resilient spirit.                                                  [added September 22, 2008]
