In tribute to those who have gone before usWhen we stand among the stones, at these final resting places, we hear the wind blow and the leaves rustle. We see the sun shine and the clouds pass by and we pause a while and think. These final resting places may be noted by a tombstone, a simple cross, or just a family memory of where an ancestor was laid to rest. These symbols remind us that once they had full lives with work and play; joy and sorrow; laughter and tears. We document these sacred areas and go beyond to seek out family and public records of their lives that are noted in writing. The cemeteries listed below are meant as a study guide and most certainly not proof of dob or dod. Relatives of the deceased often made errors in exact dates and did the best they could. This along with transcription errors or weathering of stones, can make it challenging to give exact information. Please be patient as we learn more about these cemeteries and add data. |
