Houston Family And now the question: One of the list members sent me a picture of a cemetery marker for Berea Cemetery day before yesterday. While deciding where to put the picture, it occurred to me that Mary Ann & I put up most of the Morgan County cemeteries as much as 2 years ago. Cemeteries still being used for current burials are out of date. In addition, I have many obituaries for Cemeteries in the various counties (not just Morgan) and quite a few pictures (as an example, at one time I had pictures of all of the veteran markers for Waverly East Cemetery though I've fallen behind in taking the latest ones). I took the Berea Cemetery listing, updated it and linked the obituaries and cemetery marker pictures I had to enteries in the cemetery listing and then put it up on the MAGA site. I may move it back to the Morgan County site when Morris is back home and has more time to work on the pages again. I'm wondering whether you think it would be worthwhile to update the other cemeteries which are still being used for burials and, at the same time, add pictures and/or obituaries which are available. If so, am wondering whether you all would be willing to share whatever pictures and obituaries you have in your files. Pictures and obituaries could also be added to the rest of the Morgan cemeteries and for cemeteries in the other counties - I don't have as many pictures and obituaries for the other cemeteries but think there are probably many out there which you have collected during your research. Sorry for running on so long, but wanted your input on whether you thought it would be worthwhile to do this?

Hi Shirley, YES! YES! YES! Please do ask for donations for headstone pictures and put them on the pages. Please see the cemeteries I have on my Huerfano County page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~cohuerfa/cemeteries.htm Last summer I spent almost every weekend out filming the cemeteries, ended up with over 3,000 photos, and still more to go. Hope to finish up this Spring. To date, all the photos are not up yet, still working on that. Someday these stones will be gone due to deterioration, vandals, etc. So it is a very worthwhile endeavor to have the photos of them online. My Bonds family came from Morgan County and unfortunately I don't have a single headstone photo of any of them, and I have never been there. Someday...
