Ray Dean & Roy Gene were twins born to Percy and Emma Barnes. One was a still birth, the other baby didn't live long. Both were placed in the same casket that was made by their father. They were buried in the front yard of Lester and Vera Barnes place by a tree. This was the farm that their family was living on at the time.

In later years some family members with ground penetrating devices attempted to locate where the babies were laid to rest. Two family members who remembered the babies being buried took them to the place that they said the babies were. In spite of this no remains of any kind were found. Not even nails from the box. The road had been widened and other land marks had changed over the years.

Born together, in Heaven together.

Their head stone was later purchased by nieces & nephews of Ray & Roy. Niece Paula Goodwin Lewis brought it up at a Barnes family reunion and the family generously contributed to this cause.

The finished head stone was placed just below their parents marker at Soper Cemetery.
