Attention Fellow List Members: Eastern Kentucky has been unfortunate to have had a mass ordering of tombstones from the Veteran's Affairs in Washington, D.C. wherein several veterans and non-veterans of the Confederacy or of any war at all now have two and sometimes even three headstones for the same man. Several complaints have been lodged here at the Knott County Historical Society from those who have the misconception that our Society has something to do with this. We do not! The complaints arise from the fact that many cemetery owners and family members have not been contacted in regards to this practice here in Knott County. Recently some stones placed in the Carr Memorial Cemetery are now taking up two distinct plots to allow a place for an additional tombstone for men who already have tombstones, one of which already had a military designated tombstone. Some complaints have been registered with us here at the Knott Society wherein Confederate markers have been placed on Union soldiers' graves much to the chagrin of the families involved. This abuse is a flagrant disregard for the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs' policy which specifically states the following: "Do not complete this application if the veteran's grave is already marked with a private monument even though the veteran's military data is not shown. Applicant must certify the grave is unmarked and a Government headstone or marker is preferred to a privately purchased headstone or marker. This restriction applies to companion markers. Companion markers identify two or more decendents buried, or to be buried, in the same or adjoining graves. A grave is considered marked if a monument displays the decendent's name and dates of birth and/or death, even though the veteran's military data is not shown. Applicant may be anyone having knowledge of the deceased. Headstones or markers furnished remain the property of the United States Government and may not be used for any purpose other than to honor the memory of the decedent for whom the headstone or marker is issued. A Government provided headstone or marker may not be used as a footstone or to supplement a private monument, or be affixed to an existing inscribed monument. I certify the headstone or marker will be installed on the veteran's unmarked grave at no expense to the government and all statements made are true and correct to the best of my knowledge." - Application for standard Government Headstone or Marker 40-1330 Veterans' Affairs. Please consider the above before signing any forms allowing a tombstone to be ordered in your name. If you have a complaint, please register it with or send photos of the duplicated and triplicated stones to: Office of Memorial Programs Dept. of Veterans Affairs 810 Vermont Avenue, N.W.

Hi List! Let me say this, you will absolutely love what Darrell and Ann as well as the JCHS has done for us JC researchers. Ann and Darrell gave me a sneak peek of this before the debuted it and let me tell you my reaction was nothing short of "WOW!" The information that we can now access online in phenomenal. I commend you for your hard work in getting this tremendous amount of information online. BRAVO! Your biggest fan, Deanna

Ann and Darrell, You have done an awsome job on this project! Such a valuable resource to have at our finger tips. Myself and i am sure a few hundred other people greatly appreciate all your hard work. Faith

Hi folks! I am very excited to tell you all about a project that Darrell Music and I have been working on diligently. As most of you know, the Johnson County Historical Society has published three cemetery volumes. Volumes 2 & 3 are still available for purchase, while Volume 1 has been out of print for several years now. Seeing that the valuable information was going unused in Vol.1, a meeting was held and plans were rejected to ever do a reprint of Vol-1, so....the Johnson County Historical Society graciously gave Darrell and I permission to put the ENTIRE volume online at the Historical Society website!!!!! Through a concerted effort of the Johnson County Historical Society, Darrell & I have built what we believe to be the biggest Johnson County Ky Cemeteries listing Online to this date. This is the greatest moment possible for Johnson County online researchers! This new addition to the website contains over 100 pages of cemeteries listings!! Darrell, Pat Patton and I are very proud of the site addition and want to know what you all think about it. We would love to hear your opinions either by e-mail or signing the guestbook at the HS site You can see this wonderful addition by clicking on the link on the Historical Society page http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyjchs/johnson.html While permission was granted to published this material it should be remembered that what we have online is COPYRIGHTED material and is to be treated as such. Have fun and enjoy! Ann Lemaster-Applegate http://www.angelfire.com/ky/annshomeplace/ & Darrell Music http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Woods/5564/

Being blonde is hereditary. If the mother bleached her hair, the daughter probably will also.

Yeah, Bill. Like the paper boys used to shout out on the street corners "Read all about it." That 's what we wanna do. Bud Caudle
