I have always had an interest in genealogy as my grandparents were genealogists who travelled the country researching and connecting with family. As the daughter of, daughter-in-law of, and spouse of veterans, I have been researching and updating entries in the local cemeteries of veterans who sacrificed and served. This has been helpful in my passion project as a location coordinator for Wreaths Across America in Boone County.

Find A Grave is a great help in my genealogy research. I want to "pay it forward" by documenting local cemeteries in Boone County Indiana.

I am working on biographies for the memorials under my management. Name, dates and a photograph of the marker seems incomplete in summarizing and honoring someone's life. Some life stories are inspiring; some are sad; and some are bad.

Most of the biographies on the memorials were created from information published in newspaper articles and/or obituaries. However, the newspaper sometimes has misspellings and errors. The biographies are transcribed as published, and misspellings are noted when known. Some misspelled names and places may have been missed.

Please contact me if you have more information on any of my entries or if you have corrections. Errors and typos happen. Incorrect information is worse than no information in genealogy work.

I am glad to update the memorial and link to family members. Please use the 'Edits' tab on the memorial to suggest a correction.

Feel free to use photographs I posted on the site for personal use only. That is why they are posted. Please add credit, such as "Used with the permission of photographer, Wendy Sloman." Contact me if there is a photo you would like removed from a memorial.
