Original work
Biographies are required to be entirely a submitter's ORIGINAL work.

Cause of Death
If a cause of death is included, it is to be short and to the point. Do not add graphic details or add a perpetrators name.

Other Edits
Some edits I simply will not approve are estimated dates and requests to make links to burials of unknown deposition.

Gender
Suggested edits to include gender are an egregious, unwarranted and IMHO, an inconsiderate abuse of my time and the editing system. Those will not be approved.

Oakwood Cemetery
Established in circa 1818. Home to every walk of life. Records lost in a court house fire. Interment cards on file often list date of burial and an estimated age at death. Some records may reflect these dates but it is all that I have to work with.

Saint Margaret
Catholic Cemetery not section, owned and operated by Saint Peter's Catholic Church under the umbrella of the Mobile Diocese. All records, interments and maintenance under the direction of the Sexton of Oakwood.

I am a volunteer and all edits will be processed based on criteria that works best for me.

My only goal is to document aging tombstones, help others locate final deposition and share what knowledge I can with whomever asks me.

That knowledge doesn't do anyone a lick of good if it stays trapped inside my head.

Firstborn daughter of Thomas Jefferson and Emma Portis whose marker was stolen from her grave in Dallas County, Alabama and recovered in Montgomery County by myself and other members of the Lincoln Cemetery Rehabilitation Authority.

His open and exposed grave set me on this path of cemetery preservation and digital documentation. His grave is one of a handful I still visit regularly in Lincoln.

Daniel C. Tharin, Jr.
A Teacher, Confederate Soldier, Husband and Father. Unmarked in Oakwood for a very long time.

Samuel Virden Morse
You can honor this young man's life by committing to being a first rate version of yourself and not a second version of what the world thinks you should be.

Baby Allen
Stories such as his can be found in every cemetery, little babies whose flight here came and went in a blink, as told by his cousin Anne.

William Jerald Ten Eyck
Great grandson of Revolutionary War Veteran, Stephen Parker. He died from a work related accident leaving a young wife and daughter behind.

James Morgan
