1. [PAELK-L] Re: Your opinions on the chalking of gravestones [1]
Funny you should ask.... Sherry, I have just been talking to a geologist who is also a genealogist! He said that chalk is basically harmless to the tombstone. Some use a chalk powder that they cover the tombstone with and then brush the surface, leaving the chalk powder in the depressions & bringing out the letters/numbers. Another point. I had asked at one mortuary about how to safely remove the lichen that eats away at so many tombstones. I was told to get a good brush--the kind that one would use on
2. [PAELK-L] LAUMER, Anthony/HAZEL, Catherine; BAY, DEU> St. Mary's, PA,USA; c. 1820-1 [1]
My wife's ancestor Mary LAUMER (1846 - 1930) was (according to some sources) the first white girl born in St. Mary's, PA. Parent's were Anthony LAUMER (c.1820- 1881) and Mary ? both probably Bavarian. At some time the LAUMER family must have relocated to Emporium in Cameron County, PA. Mary married Thomas VALENTINE there in 1868 and Anthony died there, run over by a train. Mary might have married Thomas outside of St. Mary's as he was not Catholic (at least he was buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery in St.

Nice post Mike! Here's one you may not have seen. Dear Ancestor Dear Ancestor, Your tombstone stands among the rest~ Neglected and alone.

9. [PAELK-L] Your opinions on the chalking of gravestones [1]
Just wondering what everyone on here thinks about chalking a tombstone to make the information on a weathered stone more readable. Do you think it is in anyway damaging or disrespectful? How many of you have used this method? For those who don't know what I am talking about, "Chalking" a tombstone means to take a piece of kids sidewalk chalk and rub it sideways on the stone to bring the carvings out better, so more accurate information can be obtained from a weathered stone. To my knowledge, chalking a
