Dear Ancestor
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
In this field of green.
The name and date are chiseled out
For all the world to see.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I'd exist,
You died long before I was born.
Yet we are of one, you and I,
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the life you lived
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.

**WHY I DO GENEALOGY**
We are the chosen. My feelings are, in each family, there is one who seems called to find the ancestors.
To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve.
To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before.
We are the Story Tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called as if it were in our genes.
Those who have gone before cry out to us. " Tell our story. " So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors you have a wonderful family you would be proud of us? How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say.
It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who am I and why do I do the things I do. It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference and saying I can't let this happen. The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today.
It goes to respecting their hardships, their losses and building a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that they fought to make and keep us a Nation.
It goes to a deep and immense never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on understanding that they were doing it for us.
That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do.
With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are them and they are us. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family.
It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take their place in the long line of family storytellers.
That is why I do my family genealogy and that is what calls those young and old to step up and put flesh on the bones.

We're down to 567 requests right now, 6 of which are yours. One call to Calvary at (216) 641-7575 would almost certainly get your requests filled. Otherwise they will continue to sit. Please call. Thanks!Added by runner9 on May 25, 2013 7:48 AM | | | Brian J. Ensley

You're welcome. Sorry I couldn't do more. | | | Brian J. Ensley
| RE: Bailey's in Somerset Co. PA
P.S.- As for your Mary Elizabeth who married Josiah S. Pletcher (I didn't have the connection between the Mary Elizabeth, daughter of Daniel as the same person who married Josiah until you mentioned it), I have these children, which I'm sure you already have:
Myrtle Bell (1890-1890)
Edna Pearl (1892-1895)
Arthur Webster (1894-1971)
Waldow Larow (1896-1897)
Clyde Kenneth (1900-1987)

I had time to I checked before leaving for work... I have a Daniel Bailey, born circa 1819 and died in November of 1880 in Milford Twp., Somerset County, but I don't have a burial place. I have his wife as Phebe but no maiden name and an estimated birth of 1825.
I have these children listed (Mostly as found from the census records): Sabina, Catharine, Elizabeth, William E., Charles & Rebecca.
I have William E. (1867-1945) as being married to Margaret Durst and buried at the Husband Cemetery and I have Charles (1872-1930) as being married to Daisy Viola Pifer and buried at St. John's in Somerset.
Sorry, but that's all I have. Bailey isn't a name that I really did much research on. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

 | RE: Gonsey Photos
Of course you can use them. Also, I have one of Ms. Mace on my list to track down, I have the location and the map. I just have a 4 year old helper and he lost interest the other day. I am hoping to finish up this weekend.
If you think the Ramsey person is in Oakview I will look. I can ask my friends at the office. Where is she from, Ramsey? I have a friend with the same last name but he is from New York.
