[Special Note: I have entered into the findagrave records many memorials of former acquaintances, childhood friends, etc., and strangers. I would be happy to alter or remove any of these entries if requested to do so by anyone who is or was closer to the deceased than I, and/or is willing to update, expand, or correct these memorials, or otherwise improve the entry.]

Bio. Info.:
Since my retirement in 1999 at the age of sixty nine, I have been increasingly pursuing an interest in geneology. I am fascinated by geneology and the lives of our predecessors. Their stories show much tribulation, and great courage and strength. I hope to honor them by narrating their true stories as well as I can, and including some of the 'not so good' events as well as the good. I believe that all family stories are quite interesting and important when told in all detail and truthfulness.

In general, I believe our ancesters led much more difficult and much less pleasant lives than we. I find this humbling. Indeed, quite possibly their successes may be a greater accomplishment than our present day ones.

It shocks me, how extreme our advancement in modernity is when compared to the way of life of only one or two hundred years ago. Comparatively, the pleasantness and ease of our lives is astounding.
