I especially like photo-documenting cemeteries and working with the pictures. There are a few pro and amateur genealogists I work with here on FindAGrave volunteering and setting up memorials. I also enjoy doing light research on my memorials as time permits so others are able to build on this knowledge and hopefully find answers to the holes in their lineages.

I live on the North Shore of Massachusetts in Essex County. I have published 6 books and 1 pamphlet on area graveyards and was awarded the Massachusetts State Historic Preservation Award [2013] by the Daughters of the American Revolution [DAR]. I have several old graveyard tours that I perform in my area and I do lecturing in my area on a variety of historical subjects at Historical Societies.

James Harris # 82439165

Old Burying Ground

"So active once; the dust is now thy bed,
There, mortal thou must soon recline thy head,
And sleep, till He who holds deaths mass'y key,
Shall ope the grave & set his prisoners free."

Simeon Fuller # 92379143

Why stand you gazing round my bed;
You all must die as will I,
And ly among the silent dead."

Rebecca (Mitchell) Blodget # 69165355

Brookside Cemetery

"Dear as thou wert, and justly dear,
We will not weep for thee;
One thought shall check the starting tears,
It is that thou are free.
And thus shall faith's consoleing power,
Our tears of love restrain;
Oh who that saw thy parting hour,
Could wish thee here again."

.

Capt William Harris # 84840597
Died: 1797

"Alas grim death has shot thy fatal dart,
Which long seem'd pointed at their languid heart;
No more their voice a careless world can move.
They tell the wonders of redeeming love."

"This world's a shadow; Life a span
Toil, pain & death, the lot of man:
But grace substantial good supplies,
Hope here & endless bliss above the skies"
