It was the custom of our family, out of respect; to visit the cemeteries where our family members are resting. I no longer live in my home state so this site is the next best thing.

As time allows, I can be found "adding names" to my former home state cemeteries. I'd like to think I'm leaving a small memorial to the people of Southwestern Pa., and hope that someday the information will be useful to the generations of the next millennium.

A favorite Russian proverb;
"We live as long as we are remembered…" Find-a-grave helps us do just that.

Just a Note to everyone who may be contacting me:

I do not at present have internet available at home. I DO read all corrections submitted thru the edit feature. I usually can accept those in just a few days.

OK ... lately I've been getting over-whelmed transfer requests for memorials that have been on Findagrave 5 to 7 years. For me to consider these requests please state how you're related to the requested transfer.

I'm very sorry I can't possibly transfer every memorial I have posted, I'm not trying to be unresonable but I'm having people request transfers when they're not even remotely related. I love Findagrave, the memorials aren't suppose to be about "who" owns them, it's to remember those who are no longer with us.
