Researching Chet's family of McCaig, Hughes, Hooper, Carter & Wade and mine of Whitaker, Harrell, Douglas & St. Peters.

To honor our veterans, we add memorials in Memphis National Cemetery and West Tennessee Veterans Cemetery.

We're also adding memorials for those associated with American Snuff Company (formerly Conwood Company), Kimberly-Clark Memphis Mill, and Velsicol in Memphis.

To document the date and reason for transfers, and hopefully prevent deletion of memorials and the family squabbles we've previously experienced, to request transfer of a memorial, please leave a message here on my contributor page including the memorial name & number, and your relationship, name & member ID.

We are happy to make corrections or add details via the "Suggest A Correction" button on the memorial. Please contact me if there is any information you do not wish displayed for your family.

We have no intent of commercial or financial gain from posting information on this site. We do this solely as a service to others searching for family burial locations for personal or genealogy purposes.

Please be kind to one another. Remember it takes many points of light to define a safe pathway. Blowing out someone else's candle, doesn't make your own glow brighter.

Some people ask why we do this, well.....
--We've fought back the thicket that covered the trail.
Climbed barbed wire fences, got caught on a nail,
Went places we shouldn't, been chased by some dogs,
Waded the creek and climbed over logs.
We know they are near, so we travel on through
Just looking for someone who's special to you.
--We've stumbled through brambles out looking for graves,
Searched under thick vines, overtaking their names,
Fell into a ditch, got covered with mud,
Been bug bit and blistered by hot summer sun.
But now that we're here, we smile down at this place.
We've finally found them! But only by grace.
--Not really our family, but they're your loved ones so,
We found them and photo'd for generations to come.
If you can't visit in person, we know how things go,
You'll have this remembrance by a friend you don't know.
If this place ever crumbles, as some headstones do,
Still others can find them and remember like you.

It's just one of those things....you either get it or you don't....and we do!
