George A Revell...
Hi there,

I'm direct descendant of George A Revell, and would like to know what sources you have for the information on your memorial for him.

I've seen the name Emanuel for his father on his marriage record for Henrietta Joiner, his 2nd wife, married in 1885.

There's a bit of uncertainty here, because his father was listed as R. C. Revell in his marriage record for 1st wife (Martha Ann Hodges) (b.1840, m.1868, d.1881).

There also appears to be a duplicate FindAGrave memorial for George Arthur Revell: #37652032

That memorial has photos with a plaque titled "Our Family" which lists his father as Randall C Revell.

To make things even more muddy, that plaque was likely added at by George A Revell after his mother passed and he returned from service in the Civil War. His father's grave is purported to have been unmarked until this time.

Any information to clear up these discrepancies would be most appreciated.

Sorry, I don't live near there--but you can enter a Photo Request and someone who does live nearby should get you a picture.

Obituary for Alfred Lee Fout Jr.
Dear sir,

I recently viewed my step-grandfather's obituary online. I appreciate you taking the time to add it. I had gone to findagrave.com because I was going to add it myself. I am a Army veteran who lives in West Virginia. I was wondering if my name could be added as grandson. I was the first born and oldest grandson of Alfred Fout. Even though he was not my biological grandfather, he was just as much a grandfather to me and I loved him just as much. He is dearly missed by me and many others.

Thank you,

Michael Dale Sipes Jr.

I feel his death date should be 16 Jul 1875 and birth date 3 May 1790 after taking a closer look at his headstone.

PhM1 Vernon William Ross
Hello Chief,

I wanted to thank you for having taken and posted the photograph of the headstone of PhM1 Vernon William Ross.

He was my first cousin, twice removed. I just discovered him in my genealogical research, and was utterly appalled at the way he seems to have been all but abandoned as a child. The fact that he was buried at Great Lakes rather than among his family hints that his sad isolation was lifelong.

Thank you so much for taking the time to remember a man who was all but forgotten during his lifetime. It makes me happy to realize that in order to have achieved a PhM1 rating during peacetime, he must have been good at what he did as well as served his country for an extended period.

Thank you for the photo and thank you for your service,

Rick Nordstrom,
Clio, MI

Hi Chief,
James served onboard the USS Denebola AF-56 as did many of us. Most or at least many of us meet every couple of years to reminisce of days gone by. Thank you for listing James. I would assume you are the one who requested a photo of the headstone thank you again. A photo of Jim will be posted very soon as well. Every once in awhile go to Jims memorial and read the many postings that he will receive.
Richard
