Bio and Links
Bio Photo "Minnesota Nice" makes the world a better place.




Your tombstone stand among the rest;
Neglected and alone,
The name and date are chiseled out
In weathered red sandstone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist.
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
Two hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder where you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.

I wondered if I had a number identifying me but couldn't find one. Thanks so much for the information! Now I will be able to do it right in the future

RE: transfers
Sorry, I am new to this. I hope this is the number you referred to:

Memorial# 68570987
Frederick Larson - Minneapolis Pioneers and Soldiers Memorial Cemetery

This is my great grandfather and would like his memorial transferred to me if possible.

Jorgenson's
Jo,
Thank you very, very much for the photos for the Jorgenson's gravesites. There still seems to be a question regarding some duplications to the Valley Lutheran cemetery the Wises' entered.

Dale Schummer
Thank you so much for the photo for Dale. He was one of 18 men from the Recon Platoon 2nd Battalion of the 22nd Infantry (Triple Duce)that was killed in Vietnam. Soon I will have them all bak together again where they belong and then my work will be done.

Geneva M. Byer
Jo,
Thank you very much for the great photo you posted of Geneva's tombstone. It's perfect! Did you happen to see any other Byers near her? Was there an office where you looked her up or were just lucky while walking the cemetery? I ask because I'm still looking for her parents. Thanks again and I hope to hear from you soon.
