RE: Virginia McIntire Mt View Longmont
Since I don't manage the memorial for Virginia McIntire ( 60874095 ) I can't add a note that there is no grave marker to her memorial. So if it is not to much of a problem a photo of the grass with a caption note that there is no grave marker will be fine and will hopefully stop others from requesting a photo and sending other volunteers out searching. Thanks for your effort.

Mountain View Photos
So, BJ, I notice that you seem to be claiming all of the Find A Grave photo requests for Mountain View lately, and then you wait a couple of weeks to actually fulfill the requests.

Is there some reason for you doing this? Is there some chance you can let other photographers have a shot at doing some photo work also?

Your photos
Thank you very much for the helpful addition to our memorials. A good photo of the tombstone is much more meaningful than just reading the inscription. With everyone working together we can make Find-a-Grave a truly helpful site to millions of people.
THANKS

Thank you very much for the photo's for my Aunt and Uncle, Russell and Bessie. More than likely I will never get to visit their graves, so this means a lot. Since my husbands retirement, he too walks the cemeteries with me. He is getting quite good at it. I know someday I will have to give it up, but not just yet.
Thanks again

Thanks! Estella was a dear companion of my great uncle Frank. Neither ever married, but she was a welcome addition to the Edwards/Carey clan.

RE: Thomas Gardner
Bj,
Thanks so very much for all you are doing. We don't know much about Thomas. He was the brother to Alfred Gardner. Don't worry about spending too much time on finding info on him if you are busy. He was a brother in law to my distant 1st cousin, Liberty Belle Rains. I would love to know more about him for our family records so if you are still inclinded to find more information about him it will be greatly appreciated.
I am so surprised Thomas does not have a stone. So Sad!
Thanks again!
Sharon

RE: Baby Thieman and Albert Thiejman
B.J.,

Yep, I'm related to the Thieman family, and I am positive Baby Thieman and Albert Thieman are the same child. The headstone was done within the last ten or so years by another cousin. She didn't have dates, just approximated the year, and knew that Albert died at six months of age. The Hygiene Cemetery records are quite a mess :-)

Information from Funeral Home Records; Howe Mortuary, Boulder, Colorado. Burial date 26 Sep 1893. I viewed the records personally.

Longmont Ledger, Boulder Co., Colorado, http://www.rootsweb.com/~colgs/ledgerindex.htm, Hygiene column, dated 29 Sep 1893.

Albert was six months old, so I think you can safely say he was born in February 1893.

Thanks,
Janice

I'm having problems with my computer - sorry!
Thank you so much for the photo. I am an Adler by birth in Washington, and I have been rounding up relatives and ancestors for a long time. I really appreciate the time it takes for trips to a cemetery, but Colorado isn't exactly in my backyard. Thank you again...Judi

Sally Darby Sauer
Benta & Nelse Olsen
I was wondering if either you or your husband are related to Benta and/or Nelse Olsen who are interred at Mountain View Cemetery, Longmont, Colorado? I noticed they're not on your list of ancesters. Their names are similar to the names of my great, great grandparents. I have been unable to find any information on them since they came to the U.S. from Denmark in 1873.
Thank you,
Sally

Thank you again, B.J., for the work you do in Longmont. I keep meaning to get up there, but always something keeps me from going -- weather, other commitments, etc. I appreciate you adding the photo for Frank and Mary.

George B Ruggles photo
Dear B.J.!!!
Thank you for claiming the photo requests. I believe that this is the George B. Ruggles I am looking for! If it is, He was born around February 1850, and Phoebe is widowed in the 1920 census, so the clues are looking more and more like it is him. Phoebe was his wife and Emma Alice very likely his daughter. They had three possible children that I am aware of, Leo Edward, Florence, and Alice Emma. Florence died before 1900 but I haven't found her yet. Nor have I found Leo. There are some complications with the children as Florence is born in 1879, in Michigan and disappears. In the 1885 KS census Alice appears being born in 1879 in Indiana; but it says that all the family but Alice came to KS from MI and Alice is born in Indiana but came to KS from Indiana. In 1895 it changes to all came from MI. In 1900 has that Phoebe had 2 children both living, but in 1910 has 3 children 2 living. So who knows! The family trees I have found on ancestry only haven't listed all three…some just one and others covering each of the two girls, but not together.

George was born to English immigrants, Matthew and Elizabeth Bagg(s). They died prior to 1858 as George's brother, Edwin, was adopted by my gg grandfather, J.P. Rathbun and first wife Cadelia Larkcom when he was 8. George was adopted by Jairus and Lydia Ruggles. He appears with their family in the 1860 census but retains his surname. All census after his surname is Ruggles. 1870 he seems to be in Michigan living in a hotel working as a day laborer. George marries Phoebe Rawson in 1872. By 1885 they are in KS. George appears on land records in Corinth, Kansas (near Downs). He moved to Denver by the 1900's, returned to farming in Corinth in 1905 and back to Arapahoe in 1910. Alice was in Longmont so maybe why he is buried there. He was a sheriff in Osborne County 1893-1894. He was in home construction in 1900 and a carpenter in 1910. Trees say they died in California, but I haven't found that to be true.

Thanks so much for checking the newspaper. I would love to see what you found!

B.J. - don't know if you remember me, you took photos of Swan Clinton Nelsons grave for me. I was re reading messages, and noticed you said his grave was near one of yours in McCook. I'm wondering if we are related? E-mail me at: leafart@wildblue.net if you are interested in comparing trees.
