Salisbury, Missouri

Retired USAF (24+ years, Intelligence career)

Local & Family Historian, Genealogist, & Preservationist

• Monthly History Columnist - for The Chariton Marquee ("Chariton County Chronicles")

• Project 721 – Documenting all 721 Chariton County WWI veterans: "Chariton County 721" on Facebook & Instagram

• Salisbury History Sleuths - Facebook group dedicated to preserving and sharing stories of our town (Creator & Admin)

• Research Volunteer & Preservationist - Primarily at Salisbury City Cemetery, though I do clean at other cemeteries as well. (I always have my cleaning kit in my car. ;) I have a goal of ensuring everyone interred at Salisbury has an obituary.

• Family Genealogist & Historian - What started with my parents sharing our tree, has turned into a nearly full-time "job" for me. I find so much joy in discovering and documenting the lives of my ancestors, and I am constantly digging for information "beyond the obituary."

*Note for obituaries published in the "Glasgow Missourian" - Full permission has been granted from the current owner/editor to paste obituaries exactly as they were published, regardless of date.*

• Stickler for documentation & facts:

** I intentionally add my name to significant edits I suggest, in the event someone would like to reach out to me for further information or the source documentation. I do NOT suggest edits without as much documentation as possible. **
