6-9-2021: I HAVE NOT A CLUE who posted the below-noted note and NEITHER DO I HAVE A CLUE as to how other FAG Contributors can "hack" into a bio. posted by another FAG Contributor. From what I've learned from FAG, this is not supposed to be possible BUT I have found this has happened to several of the memorial which I have posted and I AM NOT ONE BIT HAPPY about it. All one has to do is ask me to add or delete something. I DO NOT DO IT TO other FAG Contributors and I DO NOT LIKE IT when someone does it to my memorials .. If this continues, I will simply delete the entire memorial and re-post it as I have no way of contacting the "hacker" and confirming if the "added-to-biography" data is correct.

Hi CITY4SQUARE,
So nice to hear from you and I will be happy to make the cemetery correction. I find it amazing that, for the past 11 years, no one advised me WHICH Smith Cemetery in Wayne County. I wonder what its name was before Sallie/Sally Smith passed - appears to have been known simply as "Smith Cemetery"; also wonder who decided why it should be call "Sally/Sallie Smith Cemetery" - think I know but we won't delve into that at this time! (LOL)

I feel many of the FAG Memorial mistakes get made because many FAG Contributors have no idea where these cemeteries are and, when they initially post the cemetery name, they just post it as being in Wayne County, WV (???where in Wayne County, WV??? - if one knows where the cemetery is located, why not put the city/town location address on the cemetery location site? The other thing I don't care for is when a cemetery is initially posted as being in WAYNE, Wayne Co., WV, and I usually know where the cemetery is and know for certain that it's 40-50 miles from WAYNE, Wayne County, WV! .. thus the cemetery is DEFINITELY NOT LOCATED in Wayne!!! Do people not understand that one can drive as little as 10 miles out of the town of Wayne, Wayne COUNTY, WV, and be in another post office location?? DAH!!! I have never understood how a cemetery could have been established at East Lynn, WV, and address is now shown as WAYNE, WV!! DAH!!

I found one the other day located at Blue Lick Cemetery (which was moved to Community Memorial Gardens) with address for Blue Lick Cemetery being DUNLOW, WV!! - Blue Lick Cemetery was located at Kiahsville, Wayne County, WV, which is QUITE A FEW MILES (not even in the same Wayne County Quadrant) FROM Dunlow, WV. Can people not read a map and/or a map quadrant? ... Della 6-9-2021

As a Wayne County, WV, daughter, another phrase I DO NOT CARE FOR IS "out Wayne" - I wonder who came up with that ignorant sounding wording. We have always said, and continue to say 'going to Wayne", not "going out Wayne" - I don't hear anyone saying "out Hamlin", "out Milton", "out Barboursville", etc.

By the way - Remember, I, too, descend from John "Highlander" and Susanna .. Della 6-9-2021
