As a serious researcher, I thank all of you who are kind, generous, and willing to work cooperatively to make Find A Grave an incredible resource.

Because some contributors accidentally have included my personal email address on memorial pages where I have made suggested edits, I've removed my personal email address from my profile page. I apologize for the inconvenience. I'm happy to answer your questions and make suggested edits and additions, especially obituaries!

Also, I will connect to your burials unknown. I've listed some myself because I think the information is important or obscure. I continue looking for actual burial places, and through the generosity of other contributors am often able to place these memorials in proper cemeteries when they are found. Happily, just today I received burial information from another contributor for a memorial I posted as "burial unknown" 3 years ago!

TOO TRUE.—A few friends will go and bury us; affection will rear a stone and plant a few flowers over our grave; in a brief period the little hillock will be smoothed down, and the stone will fall, and neither friends or stranger will be concerned to ask which one of the forgotten millions of the earth was buried there. Every vestige that we ever lived upon the earth will have vanished away. All the little memorials of our remembrance—the lock of hair encased in gold, or the portrait that hung in our dwelling, will cease to have the slightest interest to any living being.
