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.

THE FAIREST AND MOST HONEST BOSS THEY EVER HAD - Elmer A. Hennig
I'm not sure why, but I found this particular post really moving. My husband's ancestors are buried at Rosehill Cemetery and whenever I hear "Rosehill," I have such a neat sense of how much of Chicago's history is buried with the people there.
Jim - I'd like to extract some of this post for a piece for The Bowmanville Bee, a community newsletter for the neighborhood directly south of Rosehill. Would that be acceptable? I will surely give you credit for the information. Peggy Cassidy
