Dear Ancestor

Your tombstone stands among the rest;
In this field of green.
The name and date are chiseled out
For all the world to see.

It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I'd exist,
You died long before I was born.

Yet we are of one, you and I,
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.

Dear Ancestor, the life you lived
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.

I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.

RE: L Bartell
I thought about that but wasn't sure. I made the change on his memorial so it just reads L Bartell.

RE: Alma Gallien
You're welcome. I also added memorials and pictures for L Bartell and Patrick Gallien who's names were on the reverse side of the Gallien stone.

Wylie, I actually caught it when I had gone back out there and took a closer look at some other stones I was working on. Believe it or not, when I first started working on your photo, there was only 4 people listed at that cemetery! Now look at the cemetery. I had gone there for you but ended up doing all of them. That is why I ended up correcting Odessas'. Thanks for noticing and sending in the correction.

RE: Joseph Gallien
Yes I have a picture of hers plus two names that were on the back of the stone. There was a Patrick and a L. Bartell Gallien. I added a bunch last night and it just got late so I was going to add them at a later time. I will do that tonight.

RE: Blackwell-Murrill
I uploaded a photo for Frederick Blackwell and Estella Merrill - both had existing memorials. Here are the ones that don't have memorials yet:

Emma L. Merrill 1889-1908
Adelaide L. Merrill 1859-1946
Irving F. Merrill 1858-1918
Kenneth H. Merrill 1892-1911
Irving F. Merrill, Jr. 1886-1968
Constance B. Saldana 1922-2003, Daughter of Fred and Doris Blackwell

Do you want to create these memorials so you can manage them?
