We created several memorials in the Shead Ranch Cemetery, Limestone County, TX, if any are your relatives please ask for a transfer, regardless of generation, we want them in the control of relatives, we don't participate in FindAGrave for numbers, just for genealogy and history as well as to honor ancestors with lovely memorial pages. Use the EDIT button on the memorial. If you are related to any of these folks, please drop us a message. We want to hear from you and transfer the memorial to you to work on.

The virtual flowers we add are to family members unless stated otherwise. Sometimes we folks who work on these pages hear from folks hoping to make connections. If you think you've found one, please let us know. We are definitely NOT doing this for numbers and guidelines are hints invented by a boy who started findagrave long ago, with no idea what it would become. Times change and the few who are left doing this who started out decades ago need to change with the times too and most of all, do this work with loving kindness instead of haughty control.

Thanks to all the great photographers out there who add pictures that help show where markers are located. Searching frontier cemeteries with a photo showing the horizon is a big help to family.

Thanks to the contributors who send suggestions for links, full names, dates, birth and death locations and biographies.

{Note for folks who don't know what a MEMORIAL is]
If you are going to be crude enough to put a death certificate on someone's "memorial page", please have a little decency and block out the medical portion. Memorial pages are for celebration of life, and for remembrance of a loved one, not an autopsy party. I hesitated to be so frank but after a few conversations with absolutely clueless people, I'm spelling it out frankly. When was the last time you attended a "memorial" service and the pastor conducting it read out the autopsy results? Never? Visited a cemetery and saw a plaque with autopsy details? Still never? There you go!

All of us have seen pages with details of injuries from car wrecks, manner of death by suicide, prolonged details of medical notes from autopsy findings and each one, not posted by family, but by some hobby graver who finds glory in high numbers. This site is not a video game. Eventually Ancestry.com will get control of the situation and restrict that info to their paid site. For folks who want to know such details there's also the free site run by the LDS, familysearch.org. Keep it where it belongs, folks. And stop using memorials or memories of someone's departed relative like it's your personal video game.
