Bio
My intentions are not to disrespect anyone living or deceased. As a Find-a-Grave contributor, my primary desire is to accurately and lovingly preserve the memory of persons known to me or to my family.

--- Please view the entire memorial before providing documentation for any and all edits you request.
.
--- Please honor my request on newly created family memorials "not to suggest edits, nor post any photos at this time." I will provide details at an appropriate time.
.
--- Photographers who post vivid, legible, and upright photos to these and other memorials provide a great service. However, one should first view other photos on the memorial to ensure the photos or articles are relevant and there are no duplications, for memorials have a set limit of photos. For newspaper articles, it is important to note the source and date!
.
--- Note: Memorial flowers and photos are permanent and are only removed by the individual who posted them.
If you are a direct descendant and desire the management of a "friend" memorial in my care, please contact me. Thank you.
Dear Ancestor,
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone.
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left,
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.
--- Walter Butler Palmer (1868-1932), written in 1906
Upon my incapacity or death, I bequeath the management of the memorials in my care to Find-A-Grave volunteers:
1. SAMM #47587106
