  • susan bailey Hi Ann, I have many old family photos that I would like to post, including a 1921 Hillsboro senior class album which may be of interest to folks who have family members from the Hillsboro area. The album is individual photos (3X5) of class members attached to paper with photo corners. The names of most of the class members are written on the paper, I think by my Great Aunt Mabel Bailey. Is there a preferred way to add these photos so that they can be searched by others?

  • Karen Saathoff Got a question for you Ann, when you walked Roberts Cem do you believe that you walked it all or there might be more there. I know when I was out there it was so hard to find everything with the shape it is in. I am asking this because of my 3rd great Uncle Louis Madison Bandy, his obit shows his funeral being at the Baptist Church in Honey Bend but there is no record of him being buried in either Cedar Ridge or Roberts, I would think that he would be in Roberts since a few of his wives are buried there.

    • Ann StoddardHi Karen, My mom and I did the best we could to find all the markers at Roberts, but it is so overgrown that I'm sure we did not find all the markers. I'm hoping Jim May had a bit more success. The Sanders listing is posted, so any markers that were observed in the 1940's are included in the Roberts listing.

    • Ann StoddardHi Jean, I'm not related. My mom and I read Edgewood Cemetery a few years ago. Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean by transfer the photos to your cemetery page. The photos are also posted on findagrave.com if you would like to have a copy of them.

  • JUDY PAWLEY Ann, My great great grandfather, J. C. Long (1832-1866) and his brother Alvin W. Long (1834-1877) (and his wife Sarah Adeline Long) are buried in Elmwood Cemetery. J.

  • Donna Ortman Hi. I have contacted you before about memorials on Find A Grave. I wondered if you could transfer access of # 2008 (John Logan Sigley) to me? I will ask for other transfers, too....but I wanted to make sure this is possible. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

  • Louis Athey Hi Anne, My old Irving friend Dale White and I have embarked on an attempt to identify all of our living classmates from HHS Class of 1947. A major obstacle is the lack of obituaries available to us since 1950. Has the Society given consideration to adding obituaries from county newspapers since 1950. I''d help as much as I can on such a project. Keep up the fine work of the Society, Lou Athey

    • Ann StoddardHi Louis, what a great project you and Dale have embarked upon. The Montgomery County Genealogical Society has an extensive collection of obituaries from Montgomery county newspapers. Here is a link to their site: http://mcgsil.com/researchcenter.html It would be wonderful to have these obits available online, but for now you can view them in person at their new research center.
