I became interested in genealogy, because I am the last one in my branch of the family to carry on our name. I did not know if anyone else in another branch was keeping track of our lineage, so I decided I needed to lest it be lost to the ages.
A coworker told me about Find A Grave, and when I first pulled it up, I could not believe the amount of information that was available. I found it invaluable for tracking down names and dates for my family.
When my dad passed away, I guess my own mortality became apparent to me, so I got more interested in contributing information. Hopefully, long-lost relatives and future generations can use it to help keep track of their heritage.
I am not related to some of the people for whom I have created memorials or for whose memorials I care for, so if you are related, please request a transfer. I would much rather they be cared for by a relative.
I am not one of those people who pontificates the official Find A Grave rules on which relatives can and can't be transferred. I figure it's first come first served, and you can fight it out amongst yourselves. | |

 | RE: Mary Smith
As far as I know that is all that any Lilley ever owned. John J Lilley came out at the end of the Civil War and entered 80 acres. He bought an additional 40 at some point (or his heirs did). J J died in the mid 1870's. He had 5 sons: George W, Oliver, J Nepheu, Frank and Joseph J. Frank ended up with the Lilley acreage. George moved closer to Randolph, Oliver went to OK, and Joe and "Neff" ended up near Wheaton in Pott. Co.Added by Kevin on May 16, 2013 7:08 PM | | | Kevin
| RE: Mary Smith
I am not related to the Teske's, no. My grandmother (and her father) were born on School Branch, so like you, I found their little cemetery intriguing. Supposedly there are only 2 graves there, with no stones. If there are no stones, I wonder how they know how many are buried there? Fred had another wife of very short duration, and one of the daughters' graves is unaccounted for.
(I built her a memorial at Fancy Creek/Randolph).
My grandmother was a Lilley. They were pretty much gone from there by the mid 40's. There farm was real near Dettmer Rd.Added by Kevin on May 15, 2013 2:44 PM | | | Kevin

Corrected Mary's birthdate. Figure that was a slip of the lightning quick fingers!
I think I found Maggie Teske. mem. #24468319
She married August Behrent 28 Nov 1882. Also found August Behrent #59631285, with a potential dau Margaret #59631286. Need a bit more info to be sure they are correct ones, though.Added by Kevin on May 14, 2013 4:34 PM | | | Kevin

The Eversmeyers at Ober and Swede Creek are definitely the same family. I have most of my brother-in-laws info, as I helped my sister research it, so will check to see if Henry shows up.Added by Kevin on Apr 18, 2013 11:49 AM | | | Kevin

I changed the birthdate as you requested, and linked Laura to her parents. I have family at Peach Grove, and went thru one time and added memorials from the 2001 printed tombstone readings that the Riley Co Gen Soc did. It's possible that there was an error there, or I just goofed. If you are a relative and want this memorial transferred to your care, send a request.
I see that you have Eversmeyer's in your management. My brother-in-law is an Eversmeyer descendent. His great and great-great-grandparents are at Zion Cem (Ober).

I am not sure where I found her name, probably in a Riley Co Geneology, I have several those, I went and looked when you asked and not sure yet--there so many, it was what someone sent me. I can't locate any more that fsmily--they didn't send an obit...and obits not always right either, but closer. The reason I think it may or may not be traced as it dated after the Government mover of cemetaries in Riley Co before that, that situation messed up so many earlier--when they put in the dam, people who had personal cemetaries lost them, they were warned, but not moved-- I don't think this one them though...MarieAdded by Marie on Apr 11, 2013 10:00 AM | | | Leon Barton

Thanks for that info, I know the area but thats what obit said so put in, she could have been born there originally, I am going leave it there with a note, and wrote it down in case it happens again--many small towns or/townships are gone...Added by Marie on Dec 04, 2012 5:00 PM | | | Brandon Hagedorn
