Bio and Links
Bio Photo I have been so fortunate to find people, along my journey, that have helped me with ancestry information, tips, leads to new places to look, corrections where I have erroneous information , etc. that I feel taking photos for Find A Grave is a tiny way that I can say THANK YOU and pay it forward.

I urge you to use ANY photos that I have taken on your tree or anyway you wish. I believe they are YOUR relatives and I have just been the messenger to connect you. Add the photos anytime and anywhere!

RE: Martha and Wm Stark
In looking at the headstone I think what happened to Martha is that they put her year of birth on it when William died - but, they never added her date of death when she died.

The 1913 is probably from the cemetery records but, the family never had it engraved it on the headstone when she passed away.

That would be my guess anyway.

RE: Martha and Wm Stark

I found some of my family headstones did not match the Find A Grave memorial info either.

I am sure they got that info from the cemetery records so there may be errors. I would suggest sending an edit to the memorial to correct the differences.

I think I have all the photos fixed - I took them with my ipad and tried to get the best shot even if I had to turn it sideways but, wasn't sure how they would show up!

Thanks
Hi, Carolyn


I want to thank you for getting the photo of
Earnest Howell's grave. He was the father of my
friend Marie. She is 90 years old. She didn't
know where he was buried, only that it was probably somewhere in Portland. I found out where
he was and she was thrilled. I told I had put in the request for a photo and I don't think she
expected that would be possible. Then I forgot
all about it. I don't check my e-mail very often
and when I did I saw "Find a Grave photo request-
Success". I said "oh yeah, I forgot".I couldn't
wait to show Marie. When she saw the photo she
was so excited and happy. She was ecstatic!
You have made a couple of old ladies very happy.
Thank you so much!

Carolyn:

Today's photos are simply outstanding! The words "thank you" seem inadequate as an acknowledgment of the terrific work did on my requests. Unless I'm mistaken, it appears to me you also made the extra effort to make sure floral arrangements adorned the markers before you photographed them. That was a nice touch!

I'm sending good vibes your way, and, as for your trusty camera, give it a big smooch for me. The two of you make a great team!

P.S...the "Len Lockwood" image especially touched me; it was worth the confusion over his name to get the photo. And the Carl and Aileen Denton pics turned out great, despite what I seem to recall is a difficult-to-reach perch above a spiral staircase.

Thank you Carolyn again for fulfilling another photo request. I really appreciate your time! I see his spouse Mary V. is with him, so I created and linked her memorial page. Hoping you can add the image you captured to her memorial page as well?

Thank you,
