I appreciate discussions...that is how we learn things but the negative tone of e-mails to the list on the subject of shaving cream has become tiresome. May we talk about something else please? Sincerely, Kathleen Anderson

Thank you for the submission and to the recognition of the WILLIAMs work. It is with deep hope that each person will do one nearly lost cemetery. I will be submitting LEE(LEE-GLENN) near Beaman Mo. This is a family Cem. Maintained by an asssociation of decendents of Grissom LEE and Polley GLENN. i AM LOOKING FOR the records of Miller's Chapel in Pettis County several miles north of LEE.. I have some photo taken Aug 2005. West Cental Genea; Soc. will be reprinting the Carter compliations done in th1940s. bud.

It is said Mo. adoptions were to adjacent counties. Try the varoius court indexes starting with probate intestate Thee county clerks offce may be helpful in telling you which court handled adoptions or placement of children. Guardianship. Good Luck, and it is possible, My friend and driver found not only her half brother but four more sisters. Bud.

Firstly, how can I disprove a legend? Am I also going to prove that bigfoot doesn't exist? After all, nobody has proved bigfoot doesn't exist, therefore he must, right? The whole notion that I should provide evidence that it does no harm is a logical fallacy of appealing to lack of proof of the negative. This is a well known logical fallacy. Moreover, I am not promoting using shaving cream. I am pointing out that the assertion that shaving cream harms tombstones is without evidenciary basis. If I point out that saying the alphabet backwards is not dangerous, am I also promoting people saying the alphabet backwards? > Write something > with shaving cream on > your own vehicle or the side of a brick and watch > the results. We are talking about tombstones, not cars. There is no need to pretend that I said it was safe to put shaving cream on anything imaginable. What I said was that there is no evidence that shows the claim that shaving cream harms tombstones is true. Brock Way __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Oh, my---here we go again. I have been doing restoration in Missouri for a while now and I have heard all sides of this argument. From what I've seen any person who is using good common sense and trying to clean areas and stones has done more that all the naysayers who sit on their duffs and do nothing. I pay people to do most of the restoration because I live in another state but I make trips every year to take care of old graves and contribute to cemetery maintenance. These people who have taken the time and energy to contribute should be commended and not yakked at. Saving Graves is a good source of information but they are not the only experts with an opinion. I have dealt with every kind of clean up issue and the one that is definitely the worst is the one where no one cares and all stones are down and no one has the time, money or energy to fix the lost stones and they are lost and everything on them is lost because they don't get transcribed. I say clean the stones, transcribe the information and pass it on to a site or a library. Then as time passes and old cemeteries and stones are lost the information wont be. Good luck and I love everyone of you who takes the time to save the information off one stone. Bonnie Morris Conrad

Wayne, what chemicals have you used to take the moss and lichens off a stone. There are several of my ancestors stones that are unreadable because of those and I would like very much to clean it off so photos can be made and put in our local historical society.

No, I don't carry a rabbit's foot. But a better analogy would be that I don't run across roads without looking for traffic. I probably wouldn't get hit but why take the chance.

This may be a great place to put this suggestion. I read this on a site when doing some preservation research many years ago. If you would like to have a new stone made but the old stone is virtually unreadable take an aluminum foil cast of the stone. Take care in removing it from the stone. Once home with the foil impression you can make a cast of the stone using Plaster of Paris. It may take some practice as well s patience and careful work, but the end result may be well worth it. You then have a fair replica of the original work, at least as much as is left. If you want artwork replicated, simply take the cast to the monument company and they can see the original work. -----Original Message----- From: Mary [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 4:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MO-CEM] shaving cream on tombstones I am in agreement with all of you who recommend taking precaution... why take the chance of harming the old stones.

Sad for the genealogist who knows their ancestor lies somewhere in a particular cemetery and they have no idea or clue as to which stone is theirs. This is the reason this past year family members chipped in donations for one of our ancestors to have a flat stone placed at the foot of the old stone that has been deteriorating rapidly over the past several years.

So, my earlier thought was correct. You are simply being argumentative for the sake of argument. Not nice or helpful. You have no evidence that it doesn't do harm, yet you are promoting introducing chemicals onto valuable information not to mention nature. Write something with shaving cream on your own vehicle or the side of a brick and watch the results. Even a privacy fence will do. Don't use a water hose, use a gallon or two of water to rinse it.

What is of use is actual evidence, rather than just yet another claim. Rather than make yet another claim, why not just show the evidence? > Seems like for you the easy way works, regardless of > the ultimate, even if > it is just remotely possible, effect it may have.

I don't think you are being nasty, but you are clearly being presumptuous. I don't use shaving cream. So that pretty much destroys your strawman argument that I am just lazy, or whatever. Moreover, you miss the point. The point is not that there is a reason to add anything to the stone...the point is that claiming adding shaving cream to the stone is harmful is baseless. There is a difference. Brock Way __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

There is evidence that people get hit by traffic. That is to say, it is a real threat. There is no evidence that shaving cream harms tombstones. That is to say, it is a legendary threat.
