First let me say that there is not going to be a book about this cemetery as I first thought. She is also not intending for this information to be put online. She is giving this information to the Bainbridge Historical Society and West Bainbridge Cemetery Association. Along with her transcription of the cemetery, she compiled obits and newspaper articles. She transcribed this cemetery by giving it groupings and plot numbers which is the proper way to do it. As we all know, many relatives are buried next to each other and when listed alphabetically we lose that, but as historians we learn not to be picky when gathering information. I digress....... What I learned is this, that from the list that is posted online that many unmarked graves have been identified - wonderful news - thank you Sharon. No, I do not know who they are. Rene'

I'm trying to find that out. I do know who the president of the historical society is, but do not know if he has an email address or what his snail mail address is. It was also brought up about the West Bainbridge Cemetery Assoc too last night. Sharon didn't know one existed, and neither did I. As soon as I find this out, I will let everyone know. The information is not out there as of yet. I have just heard from her, she said that she is still waiting on some final obits to add and then she will be giving it to them. Let me see what I can find out for you all. Not sure what Tim has on the website as I haven't looked yet?

There were a couple of very interesting stories of murder one dating back to 1867. A Helen Searles who was married to Joseph Searles who did not make it back from the civil war hooked up with a bigamist. He married her after knowing her a couple of weeks, took her to Litchfield CT. There he most likely poisoned her after 4 months of marriage. After her death, no longer the bereaved widower he left for Utica NY where after 5 weeks married another lady after only knowing her for only 1 week. He was arrested and after 3 trials died in prison. I'm sorry I could not be of more help to you all. Rene'

I didn't realize this went to the list either, but I don't have a problem with it. Like I told the others, I asked her and we'll see what she said. I have yet to hear back. If we don't ask, we don't know. No problem. She might be willing to let her notes be typed up to be put online. She is a very soft speaker, so a recording would be out of the question unless she did it herself. I am going to take notes, will get what information I can. I have a very small tie to the Ingersoll family, but will be glad to add the notes I take online for everyone. I will also let you all know what Sharon says, and I hope she gives her consent, I think it's a great idea.
