As I say in my Find a Grave profile,
"There is a story under every stone".
While photographing graves for Find A Grave or genealogy research, I have come across many interesting stories about the people buried under those tombstones. In this blog I will share some of the most interesting of these stories with you. Why? So these people will not be forgotten.

I'm thrilled to see this story in print. My mom was the Shirley whose yearbook Sherman signed. I look forward to seeing lots more of these stories on your blog.
I am always so impressed by the amount of research you do, and how much information your posts contain. It is great to see all the attention you give to these people --- it brings them to life. :)
Jim, once again you've inspired me. I've done some detective work and found a photo (more than one) of Corporal Earl E. Jackson on the list. Still pulling together some info, but I hope to post about him next Monday on my own blog.
God bless and Godspeed to all of our American heroes... and thank you for the wonderful article.

ReplyDeleteI researched and wrote about Cpl. Earl E. Jackson here: http://abt-unk.blogspot.com/2013/11/military-monday-corporal-earl-emerson.html and here: http://abt-unk.blogspot.com/2013/11/tombstone-tuesday-corporal-earl-emerson.html.
ReplyDeletePlease check the info on Soldiers Pyka and Noel. I think the information is reversed. Thanks. I hope information is found on each of them.
