Hello! We, too, think this is a wonderful idea. Got the bug in us to travel the hour or so, to do just that. GGgrandparents, Charles and Maria (Bach) Morlock, are buried at Lakeview Cemetery in Hillsdale. I will be going to place flowers on their graves, and GG Aunt and Uncle, Mary and Amos Steere, too. We will also take a couple of extras for the lonely and forgotten, too. We also have family that we may never see their gravesites, and think this is a wonderful way of remembering, and hope someone would do the same for us, in their areas. We will be taking our digital camera and a notepad, and doing a section of this cemetery. We will post the names of the stones that we took, and if anyone is interested, we will email them the pictures. What is concidered "memorial" stones? Is that the ones that were in the military, at some point? We will take those too, if someone answers this question before we leave on Monday, to travel to Hillsdale, MI., and donate them to Tracy Morris, as noted below. If there is anyone that is local, or traveling to this cemetery, related to the Morlock family, we would love to meet you!

Thanks, Harts, for the vote of confidence. I believe a "memorial stone" is simply a newer, more friendly name for "tombstone." It will be interesting to hear what others have to say about this. Recently I tried to locate a dealer in tombstones in a distant city. The online yellow pages didn't recognize the word tombstone; it used memorial. Perhaps that came about as a result of the "memorials" placed on military graves like you suggested. Have a pleasant trip Monday. My 2great grandfather, John G. Bailey, is buried in Lakeview Cemetery. I wasn't even aware of that when I was a student at Hillsdale College forty-plus years ago. My parents used to come to visit other family graves in Frontier, Cambria, etc., but I don't think they knew of John's. We never went to Lakeview. So close and yet so far, right? Floyd Bailey

Hannah must have died that year as Newman marries Nancy W. Carpenter of Fulton Co OHin 1861 and in 1876 marries widow Shadah Howell of Lenawee. Shadah is buried next to Hidden Lake Gardens. Newman dies March 8 1881 but burial place is unknown. These Curtisses are often found leaving with Teachouts. Trying to find the specific connection. Thank you. Julie Koenig
