I have sponsored this memorial because I had to put alot of time and research into this branch of my family tree. I wanted to make it easier for other family members who are researching this family as well. Thank you to all the findagrave members who created the memorials for our family members.
I would especially like to thank Patrick Whitney who has went out of his way to help me on a number of occasions and has added photos for quite of a few of the memorials I have requested photos for.
