We live in a small town in southeast Iowa and spend a lot of time in Graveyards and Cemeteries taking pictures, taking notes, just piecing the families together. Some of these Cemeteries are so old that there are not any other records of the people resting there. When these cemeteries go...so does that person's existence ... every life is worth loving and remembering ... every stone IS a life lived and that life needs to be honored for future generations. A monument is erected not because a person died, but because a person lived.
We would like to thank all of you for your contributions to the preservation of these cemeteries. The peace and serenity found in these old cemeteries is our reward.

To all the Find a Grave photographers out there: if you have a picture of a stone to post that is better than one that we have posted, please do and let us know. If we agree, we will gladly remove ours.

If there is a memorial we have added, that is not in our family, we will consider a transfer of the memorial to you. Please use the Edit tab, then "Other Suggestion" , Please do this on every memorial that you want transferred and please include your ID number.

Thank You, Mo & Dave
