The ledger, accompanied
by hundreds of photographs
taken by Roy Dyer, only
recently fell into the hands of
Barry’s grandson and name-sake,
John Edmund Barry III.
Barry’s entries, in italics,
reflect period vernacular and
spelling.
Shown at right: Roy,
John Jr., Budd and
Lucille Barry at
Wrightsville Beach.
Budd and John Jr. at the family’s Wrightsville Beach home.
Photo of John Jr. and fish was used as a postcard illustration.

(Belle’s sister), Lucille and Budd on a Banks Channel dock, west of
