Genealogy and cemeteries are a passion to me and I love helping to contribute to others looking for their ancestors. I will take pictures for anyone who needs them. Currently I am researching the following names (and a few hundred others): Mangus, Manges, Mangis, Garst, Showalter, Meredith, Woodruff, Miller, Owen, Owens, Eddings, Pearson, Mathews, Matthews, Kraus, Petty, Claiborne, Berry, Benbrook, Webb, Jones, Engle(s), Taylor, Arnold - and the list goes on. If you are interested in these names - please get in touch with me. Have taken pictures from Virginia to Washington State - that I have yet to post. Also, any pictures I take can be sent in original size - just ask. Will help find things and take pictures within a 150 mile radius, or where ever I might be.
Please follow the rules of find-a-grave when requesting transfers and make requests thru the "edit/suggestion" portion of the memorial.
STRANGERS IN THE BOX
Come, look with me inside this drawer,
In this box I've often seen,
At the pictures, black and white,
Faces proud, still, serene.
I wish I knew the people,
These strangers in the box,
Their names and all their memories
Are lost among my socks.
I wonder what their lives were like,
How did they spend their days?
What about their special times?
I'll never know their ways.
If only someone had taken time
To tell who, what, where, or when,
These faces of my heritage
Would come to life again.
Could this become the fate
Of the pictures we take today?
The faces and the memories
Someday to be passed away?
Make time to save your stories,
Seize the opportunity when it knocks,
Or someday you and yours could be
The strangers in the box.

 | RE: Floyd Hamilton
Floyd Hamilton is my Grandfather, my mothers father. He was married 5 times. The two that are listed are correct and the link I sent is for another one of his wives. The manager of that memorial for her just transferred it to me. So I can link her to him that way.
Thanks! | | | Chris Matthews
 | Mathews/Matthews info
Does anyone have information on the Mathews/Matthews family from Arkansas or Tennessee? The farthest back I can go is to John Lawrence Mathews born in 1840 in TN. He was my great great grandfather. I see there wasn't a father listed for him. Any help would be appreciated.

"SLIDE CRUSHES HOME, KILLING FAMILY OF FIVE.
Roseburg, Ore. (AP) -- Five members of a family were killed yesterday when a mudslide broke loose in a canyon, crashed down on their home and shattered it to bits. Somehow, three children survived.
The five deaths raised Oregon's storm-flood death toll since last Wednesday to 12. Three others are missing.
Dead are MARION E. NEAL and his wife ACERENA [sic], both about 45, and their children, MARY, 15, BECKY, 12, and TOM, 17. The bodies of all but TOM were recovered. He is buried in the mud at the slide scene near Remote, a little south-west Oregon community 40 miles west of Roseburg.
Those who survived were MARGARET ELAINE, 13, who suffered neck injuries; BILLY, 6, cuts and bruises and ALVIS, 8, unhurt. MARGARET ELAINE and BILLY were taken to a Roseburg hospital.
Douglas County Coroner L. L. Powers said the stunned children were unable to give a coherent account. But he pieced together this story:
At about 4:30 a.m. a huge wave of mud, higher than the NEAL'S one-story frame house, broke from a canyon and crashed over the structure. It swept pieces 300 feet across a field.
"There aren't two sticks of wood still nailed together," Powers said.
The family was in bed. The three surviving children finished the night huddled together, then looked for their parents.
The tragedy was discovered about 9:30 a.m. by John Cawrse, the NEAL'S closest neighbor, who lives a mile away. He notified authorities, who had to fight their way for hours through numerous slides to reach the area."
Thank you so much!
