I am putting a headstone on my aunt's grave where there was none before.
As part of my genealogy research, I found out that my aunt, Margaret Tarnoczi, and her daughter (my first cousin) were buried without any proper markers on their graves.
This happened 100 years ago. My aunt was 14 when she was raped and gave birth to a daughter whom she named Margaret. She died a week later and the baby died a month after that.
Margaret was a sister to my mother Betty and my Aunt Mary. She was also a half sister to my Chorak aunts and uncles, Ann, Rose, John, Steve, and Ethel.
My mother remembers her sister and the baby even though she was only three years old at the time and she told me about them. I felt bad that they were buried without proper markers because the family was poor. This is such a sad story to me and I always wondered what Aunt Margaret would have been like if I had known her.
I have ordered two headstones from Greater Lansing Monuments that will be set in Mount Hope Cemetery in Lansing in the spring of 2019. They found some used stones that were incorrect and will turn them over and use the backs. I did this to save money. They won't be polished but they will look ok, I think.
