Sherry,

First, thank you for your work it is greatly appreciated.

I happened upon a Bigler cemetery transcription attributed to you. I noticed an error and hoped to provide you with info so it can be corrected. On the web page: http://www.interment.net/data/us/mi/oakland/bigler/index.htm

I see listed:
"Porritt, Annie, b. 11/28/1879, d. 2/22/1901, wife of Isaac C"

While it is true that Annie was married to Isaac and her name listed on the grave stone, she remarried after Isaac died and was buried there. She married Charles A Carpenter and had a long life and many children (I am a descendant). She died in the 1970s in Tacoma, WA where she is buried with Charles.

Please let me know if you require further details and I can look them up. Also, I have photos of the Bigler stones mentioned in case you are interested.

Regards,
Chris
