I am a 85 year old retiree and live in Pipestone, Minnesota. I was in the retail lumber industry for 35 years. I became interested in genealogy 20 years ago. I currently maintain 8 family trees. The "find a grave" website is a great place to go to, to find information on family members that have passed on. Some pictures of the memorials did not turn out so well, If more visible pictures are added by family, I would be happy to delete the less desirable pictures. My goal is to instill in the younger generation, the importance of knowing where their ancestors came from, provide some history to them and where they have been laid to rest. Please submit any additions,corrections, biographies,or family links to me under "EDIT" and "SUGGEST A CORRECTION" on the memorial site.
