You're Still the One!

Why the name cemetarian?  

 

~Dear Ancestor~
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone,
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist.
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.
~Author Unknown~

As Genealogists we have spent a lot of time researching in Libraries, Court Houses and Cemeteries. One of our favorite activities is cleaning and photographing headstones of our lost relatives.

The photo above is of Darrell cleaning a stone to photograph for an elderly distant cousin who lives 1000 miles away and will never be able to personally view the headstone of her grandfather.

Our travels for research take us to many places looking for all of the delightful, vintage goodies we offer for auction and in our store.  We try to concentrate our buying to things that really interest us and might help you connect with a long lost ancestor, such as vintage postcards, old photographs, and other paper resources.  We try to include any names or places that will help bring families together.

We also collect and sell Vintage fishing lures, reels and paraphernalia; Vintage and Contemporary Barbie and other dolls; Vintage clothing and accessories as well as a large stock of Vintage Sewing Patterns.  

We now have a better reason for the name.  Darrell has gone to work on an as call basis for a local funeral home.  So he is really spending a lot of time in cemeteries.
