I grew up in Gratis, Ohio, next to the cemetery there. I was always fascinated by cemeteries and found it so interesting to walk through. We were taught to be VERY respectful of all the graves. Even though we rode our bicycles in the cemetery, we never ran and screamed or yelled there. It was a place we respected.

I am thrilled to discover www.findagrave.com. And I applaud whomever started it and has kept it free!

Thanks to all who contribute!
