DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND MY CONTROL, I NO LONGER HAVE INTERNET OR EMAIL (AT HOME), I WILL STILL BE ADDING MEMORIALS-TRANSFERS-CORRECTIONS ON TWO OTHER COMPUTERS. PLEASE LEAVE ALL MESSAGES HERE.


Aunt Stella is 101 yrs 11 mo 2 dys. old today 05/05/2013!
...and she's still stubborn & feisty, living in a Warsaw, NY Nursing home.
She has beaten in age our other centenarians
Annelise Schulze Gruner (1888-1988)
Adele Brown Todd (1890-1990)
Ruth Searle Rudd (1892-1993)
Ellen Armstrong Bates (1851-1951)
William Carver (1659-1760)

Ancestors & relatives never really go away, they get buried, cremated or vaulted in a sacred place for us to visit and remember. After all, where would we be without our ancestors? As much as it hurts to lose a loved one, we must be thankful for the time we had together. These memorials in FIND A GRAVE are growing by a million a month and make it easier for the world to find & see the memorials of their loved ones. Through these memorials, they live on.
Passionate is an understatement, Genealogy & Cemeteries are a big part of my life. Have 35 years of sometimes obsessive research under my belt. I'm one of the very few volunteers for Madison County, NY which is 662 square miles with 285 Cemeteries and endless hills (up to 1800 ft) & valleys, so go easy on me folks.
Genealogically I picked up where my Grandfather and his father left off. I specialize in Madison County, NY and surrounding areas and Warren County, NY. If you find your relative in my memorials and would like transfers or to add bios, or corrections let me know. All my photos are free for distribution.

Though it feels like "good-bye", we know that in reality, for those of us who have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ it is merely, "see-you-later"

Taphophilia is a interest for and enjoyment of cemeteries. Taphophilia involves epitaphs, gravestone rubbing, photography, art, and history of deaths. The singular term is a taphophile.

"Life is a meal...and old age is desert"

"Tho the Brave may not live forever, the cautious may never live at all"

Oh my goodness!! You have both of my G-G Aunties :) What a wonderful thing you did to photograph this. I am amazed that the headstones are still so nicely maintained! Thank you for all you do on for this site Andrew- what a blessing for us so far away from home! This is a wonderful gift you've given me- the family historian! If you come across any other Banton's in your searches, I would be very grateful to have a glimpse at the headstones!! Thank you again!
