Jeannie,

I have updated this memorial. It doesn't appear to be the Reinhold you are seeking.

Best wishes in your search,
Susan

I got a message that you had put up a picture of Henry DeWitt's headstone but it is not on the page. Do you know why?

Thank you so very much for the headstone photos added for John M, Delilah, and Julia (De Witt) Thomas. I know this was a difficult cemetery to access and having these photos is particularly precious to me.

RE: Ethel & William Nicolet
Hi again, Jeannie. It is really quite simple. Here is what is says in the section on "Help with Find A Grave":
________________________________________
What is a cenotaph? How do I have a memorial designated as a cenotaph?

A cenotaph is a tomb or a monument erected in honor of a person or group of persons whose remains are buried elsewhere. It can also be the initial marker for a person who has since been interred elsewhere.
To add a cenotaph, create a memorial just like any other. Then email edit@findagrave.com with a link to the memorial and a message to mark it as a cenotaph.
_______________________________________

So, technically, if a person has a cenotaph, there can be two memorials: one for the actual place of burial and one for the cenotaph.

It doesn't matter who created the memorial. You can still send the e-mail to the "edit" address, and be sure to include a link to the memorial.

Take care,
Bonnie

Hello! After thinking about this for minute, it looks like maybe the headstone with his first wife was originally a pre-need stone. Seems that he married again, and when he passed away, he was laid to rest in the mausoleum next to his 2nd wife. The date of his passing was then added to original gravestone. I doubt that the family would have bought a crypt just to engrave his name on it.

The memorial with the first wife can be designated as a cenotaph by the Find A Grave administrators.
