Many people have asked me how I am able to take such clear photographs of the very old stones in the burial grounds of VT and NY.
Let me say first that I have taken some terrible photographs in my day, and I am still going back to re-shoot those stones. I am not a professional photographer and I use only a point-and-shoot digital camera.
But I have been gifted with two good friends who deserve much of the credit for my photos: my long-time genealogical buddy, Steven Smith, who gave me two invaluable tips for photographing difficult stones (just send me an email message if you'd like my write-up of Steve's tips); and my mirror-and-umbrella-bearer, Fay Smith (unrelated to Steve), who willingly slogs through waist-high grass and dark woods with me each summer, in the most oppressive heat and humidity, and in spite of the squads of mosquitoes and flies that routinely assail us. How anyone can remain cheerful under such circumstances continues to amaze me, but Fay does.
Were it not for Steve's advice, Fay's help, and the unfailing support of my husband Jim Boyce - who allows me two months each year in his native state of Vermont - I would be unable to "do cemetery," much less get good photographs.
And finally I would like to acknowledge my canine companions - Millie, Malarkey and Mischief - Springer Spaniels whose enthusiasm for "doing cemetery" over the years has rivaled my own!

 | Lyman Finney
Janet, I found the likely burial place of Lyman Finney and created a memorial page for him. I also linked him to his wife, Mary "Polly" (Evans) Phiney (#60300416). Please link their three children whose memorials you manage to Lyman. I'm still planning to visit Pawlet, VT next month to see if I can get closer to confirming that Lucetta, my third great grandmother, was in fact their daughter. Thank you.Added by R.

| Charles Spaulding 103261813
Hello, I was hoping that you could change Charles' birth date on his memorial. If you go by the death date of 27 Jan 1855 and the AE of 11y 6m 15d, his birthdate is actually
12 Jul 1843. Thank you, Lisa | | | | [View all messages...] |
