I believe that who ever placed the stone placed Rilda Van Doren on it. That is how it is listed in the listing of stones to 2000, but the records of trustee and sexton use Delvin. The same listing has William Smith in Row 6 #15 of the old portion. It has his death date as 5-13-1885. Have you checked Vermilion MM for Mary Hobbs Saint's death? A "homecoming" would be when people returned to their childhood or home church for a special meeting. After studying the listing of 1875 I am not sure what it

Cathy, Your postings have been so interesting to read, but tonight it was the best. It seems my ggrandfather's brother, T.E. Stevens went fishing with Frank Matthews. How fun to read, but mostly it tells me he was still alive and that he still lived in New London. I am trying to find out if he died in Iowa or Nebraska. His son (one of two) became the District Attorney in Lincoln, Nebraska. These letters remind me of when I was a teenager. Everything we did it seemed went in the newspaper. My marriage

The below may work but most likely will not save the work; most people and libraries have limited space and may willing accept the documents but later will dispose of some/most of them. If they do keep them they may be placed in a damp musty basement that floods. Get the drift. One county gave their old probates records to a historical museum and they were placed in a basement that flooded and all lost. Get the drift. My grandmother had a room sized weaving loom that dated back to ca 1836/1838 bei

Meet a neighbor and after the usual salutations and talk about the weather they say how dull times are; how long is it going to remain so? A short time ago Mr. Jacob Shopbell put an addition to his barn, and the sound of the saw and hammer was delightful music to that neighborhood, and the question now is with the present prices will any one else ever be able to build anythin

21. [IAHENRY] Preserving your research [1]
Probably the best way to preserve your research is to publish it. This can be just for family members or sell it to cousins several times removed. Make copies of important documents, pictures and the family tree with stories about the family included. This can be as big as you wish. It can be spiraled or professionally bound. Give as Christmas gifts to your family with copies maybe for brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews and grand children. If some copies are lost someone will have the information

Yes, there are artifact management horror stories. I have experienced some myself with highly respected institutions. However, rather than risk your work becoming lost altogether, consider several locations and choose as wisely as you can. Beware the institution that says, "We take everything." Suggestions for choosing an appropriate depository for records and artifacts. Without the following, do not leave your valued materials: * Mission Statement that defines the organization's purpose
