Since getting to know you more I have appreciated them so much more since you have me thinking longer and deeper as who were these people, why and what happened. You certainly make them come alive for us every time you do a blog like this. So here's a big thank you.

What people found important enough to place it in stone for 'eternity' does make you wonder. <br /><br />Thank you for stopping by and sharing my love of the stories the stones tell.

I have even added obituaries when possible. Findagrave.com is a fantastic site for finding the graves of family members, provided someone has recorded a cemetery.

I searched for ways to share- speaking, non-fiction writing and fiction. I guess I don't want their lives to be forgotten. <br /><br />There is so much to learn and I love that you have the fondness for their stories. Thank you for stopping and letting me know I'm not crazy. *Grin* DorisRenaissance Womenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045401344374224512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908284284859079079.post-83798299678279962652016-09-21T12:25:46.476-07:002016-09-21T12:25:46.476-07:00Hi Angela--

I, too, am fond of Old West pioneer cemeteries and the bits of historical detail I can glean from remnants of head stones. I like your idea, very much, of helping ensure real people are remembered, perhaps through our fiction.<br />Thank you so much!<br />Kristin HoltKristin Holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998253281628770747noreply@blogger.com
