My view on claims of Copyright:
This site exists for relatives and friends to LEARN and REMEMBER people and to INFORM whether it be in type or image form. The purpose is clearly to SHARE facts as well as stories and images with others with limited access to such information.
There is no monetary or creative purpose to any of the postings on this site. An image of a headstone is informative to show the engraved data of those buried beneath.
If one feels so strongly about their images or informative paragraphs those works might be better served if printed, signed and framed for the foyer.

I reviewed a few websites to make sure I would not intentionally violate copyright laws. The citations are mentioned below:

The U.S. Constitution and the various copyright and patent laws enacted by Congress aim to maintain a balanced environment in which people are encouraged to create new works, and in which, eventually, a work enters the public domain, becoming freely available to all.

Module 1 Copyright Basics & Requesting Information

What Is Copyright?

Copyright is protection provided by law (title 17, U.S. Code) to the authors/creators of "original works of authorship," expressed in any tangible medium. This protection is available for original works from the moment they are created and expressed in a tangible medium, and it applies whether they are published, unpublished, or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office.
Copyright ownership and protection is available for an author/creator if three requirements are met:

1. Fixation—the work exists in a medium from which the author's expression can be read, seen, or heard, either directly or by the aid of a machine;
2. Originality—the work owes its origin and independent creation to an author;
3. Minimal Creativity—the work is the product of at least a minimal level of CREATIVITY.
