My mom: Georgia B. Cox-Carnes (Rusty was her nickname).

My dad: Franklin J. Carnes.

My Grandparents: Alice H. Shaw-Cox, George W. Cox and Jesse J. Carnes.

I have been caring for family graves for many years including Grandma Alice's parents Ella V. Peck-Shaw, Thomas J. Shaw and her brother Earle C. Shaw at Stronghurst, Henderson County,Illinois cemetery. I care for graves of family and various other elders I remember from my childhood at Terre Haute, Henderson County, Illinois. Last, but not least, I take care of about four generations of Carnes family graves in LaHarpe, Hancock County, Illinois.
