Maybe it's AOL's firewalls and other filters, but I must say I have very little spam, and I am online many hours every day searching for relatives, living and dead! Some days go by without any spam, and it's extremely rare that I get more than two on any of my three screen names. I am not necessarily promoting AOL, as heaven knows it does have its problems, but something out there is watching out for me. It may also be in part that I have "trained" my spam filter, because the teen in my household with a screen name on my account gets lots of spam but he just deletes it without bothering to designate it as spam. I am crossing my fingers that I am not bragging too soon here. Vanette

I've noticed that the more I post on these lists, and I subscribe to many but this is the most recent one I have posted to, I notice that my spam increases, one even blatantly informed me that he had found my email address on one of the rootsweb lists. Since I haven't changed my email address for years because I have active queries on the web, I get more than my share of it than many, my traps are set to medium, so I just live with it. They've been doing it for a long time now. Maybe rootsweb can come up with a different system like so many forums have where you can contact other members. Often I post my email address in code which is fairly easy to figure out for most people so the spam bots won't pick it up.

Thanks Shirley. I found someone here!

I think everyone who had a Peony bush in their yards were always worrying about the blooms for Memorial Day, especially before WW11 when those of us who lived close to St. Marys didn't have much money to spend on flowers for the graves. MK

Memories; remember the Dennison Crepe paper books on making flowers and costumes? How I would love to have copies now. We spent weeks before Memorial Day making individual flowers(before the days of the Plastic ones , now the"silk" ones) in case the frost or other events ruined the real one. Mowers respected the tributes , too. If I remember correctly few florist had refrigeration. Iris and Peony, Occasionally Forsythia or Spiriea. My great Grandparent Grave site still has a huge live deep red Peony bush,covers their site and two grandsons. They are incorrectly identified as sons, German is hard to read by some.

They are very helpful at St. Mary's Cemetery when we were there in 2001. My Grandmother went there EARLY every Memorial Day. She took my brother and I with her and our Great Grandmother went before she died. We brought a huge bucket of cut peonies, from her yard. All the month of May, she worried that the peonies would not be blooming! They wouldn't let you park or drive in on that day because of all the people. We would carry small buckets full of the peonies and pull a wagon with the excess flowers and things she needed to groom the graves. The whole family was buried there, as were friends and others from the neighborhood she grew up in that had no one to put flowers on their graves. It seemed like we walked a very long way to get to all the graves. It was also a meeting place for friends and relatives. It took us a very long time because of LONG conversations with these people. Afterwards she would take us home to clean up and then later the whole family went out for a chicken dinner! Her favorite thing to do! Janet

I remember where the Sears warehouse was, but not a cemetery in the area. Guess I better take a little venture down that way! Thanks, Susan

Thanks, It's good to know that. I never heard of it, learn something new everyday. Did you find the graves you were looking for? Susan

Between Cleveland and Jackson Street, runs north to south, entrance on 22nd street (runs west to east) on the old East Side. Street car line was on Jackson, turned down 24th to Hardesty and turned around. Cleveland and Truman Road was where the Sears main store and catalog warehouse was-before it was "blown up" on and which we saw on TV..

It's located at 22nd & Cleveland in Kansas City, MO. It's located just off of I-70 and 23rd street (east). It's a rather large cemetary which surprised me. It's kept up well.

Where is this cemetery? Susan

There is an office at Mount St Mary's Cemetery, 816-241-7663.  Recently a friend and I went there and the caretaker not only marked a handout map, but while mowing helped us find the correct rows and sections as there are no section markers.  The caretaker was also very knowledgeable about the cemetery and also about St Peter St Paul's so we got a bit of a history lesson in the process.

Thanks, Shirley, this is a great site!

Hi. Yes I am in KC, MO. I will call Mt. Olivet. Interestingly, Edith Wendel's brother and mother are buried at Mt. Olivet. She had a sister buried at St. Mary's Catholic Cemetary. Thank you.

I Googled up Old Catholic Cemeteries in Jackson County and found lst listing as Find a Grave, and it gave am a Prudhomme- read this and you will have a clue...Mt. Olivet is the keeper of KC/Jackson Co Catholic records... there isn't a office at St. Marys... Try Mt. Olivet--

I know they wouldn't have destroyed it, so it must be under another name. I'll call the Catholic Cathedral here and see if they can help, if you like.
