| Bio and Links |
I was born in Cincinnati (Elmwood Place), Ohio. I was never interested in family history until I went to live with my brother in Great Falls, Montana in 1990. I was so bored I decided to start working on my family history and used what little information my aunt Lillian had given me back in the 1960's to get started. I started at the Great Falls Genealogy Society, which also provided classes, and then on to the LDS Family History Center in Great Falls.
My mother and I would stop at cemeteries when we were on one of our road trips to look at the headstones, but never dreamed of taking pictures of them, except for one when we were in Chicago, because it was so unusual, and is shown as my bio picture.
My brother died 27 March 2010 and I moved back to Ohio and now live with my son and his wife in Fairfield, Ohio (north of Cincinnati). I've joined the computer age since I've been back here, and Find A Grave is one of my favorites.
My sources for making memorials are the old newspapers at Kentuckiana Digital Library @ athena.uky.edu/; Lincoln County, Kentucky Genealogy; Rootsweb Presents Kentucky Death Records; Lincoln County, Kentucky Tombstone Inscriptions & 1850 Census by Shirley Dunn; and Bicentennial History of Waynesburg, Kentucky and Southern Lincoln County.
I include as much information on the memorials that I can find so others that are searching can determine if it is the correct person they are looking for. A memorial with name, birth & death dates isn't always enough information to determine if it's the right person you are looking for.
~~~~The newspaper images at Kentuckiana Digital Library @ athena.uky.edu/ are in the public domain and can be used on Find A Grave. They ask that credit be given to the Kentucky Digital Library as the source for the images.~~~ | |

Guess I'm wrong on name of cemetery, sorry. Anyway, I also added headstone pictures for George's wife Maxine's site and "shared" these updates with family. C. SallyeAdded by Sallye on Jun 14, 2013 4:20 PM | | | Sallye

Mr. Harrison is my father's brother, his oldest daughter visited me this week. I was showing her Find-a-Grave sites. When we looked for a possible memorial for her dad, we looked at the Waynesburg Cemetery, where she said he is buried, and did not find. She gave me the picture of her father and step-mother's headstone. I was searching again today, and found this link on our grandfather's memorial site (Claude Harrison, Highland Cemetery, Bryan Co. OK) and I found this one already set up, just incorrect cemetery. Thank you for your work. I do have another gravesite picture to add. Thanks again, and I'll share this with the family.

I'll go look again. Who is your father and I'll try to find him too?
I once took a shovel into a historic cemetery in PA to "extract" a tombstone of my GGGGGG Grandmother. The last anyone had record of it was in 1930. It was completely grown-over with grass. I dug it out and made a rubbing (as it was too dirty and muddy to get a good photo).
I would only do it for anyone else if they were a lineal descendant of the person's tombstone. | | | Bev Bickers

Hi Joyce,
That was my Uncle Noah and Aunt Lizzy son. My dad Thomas Glass was actually half brother to Noah. But he always called Noah his brother. So I saw on your profile you now live in Fairfield. That's where my parent lived till they passed away. I still have two children living in Hamilton and Trenton. You also have a cousin Dorothy that lives across from Jungle Jims. Plus Uncle Harry granddaughter Lois lives in Hamilton too.You can email me at Zacksmamaw03@aol.com | | | Faye
 | RE: Kelly
Joyce, thanks for your message. I didn't know if Gladys was buried with Dr. K. in KY or with some of her siblings in AL. Probably should find out for sure before adding her. Also, don't think I have her death date, only that it was after I last saw her in about July 1989. Should contact her nephew in AL as he will know all the details.
Again, thanks!!! Augusta.Added by Faye on Jun 01, 2013 7:21 PM | | | Margaret (Meg) Coleman-Byus
