Does anyone know where the above cemetery is located? We found where some of our family had purchased a lot there many years ago. It is possibly in Cherokee, Adair or Deleware County. Maybe the name has been changed as I have not recognized the name on any of the cemeteries listed. Thanks, Oleta Willhite

Was this about having them engraved by some who does trophies? In a message dated 9/21/02 4:55:27 PM, Wanpen123@aol.com writes: << This is what a company that makes stones told me to use. It is what they do lettering with. >>

<PRE>You would only re-ink a stone if it was one of your familey members. It would only hel to preserve the lettering for future generations and eliminate the need for further abrasive action to be able to read a stone.

All of your ideas are great but I didn't see "headstone rubbing" mentioned. This is by far the easiest and one of the safest methods to read an unreadable stone. You use regular light weight white paper, like typewriter/printer bond paper (although I have seen some folks using tissue paper) and a very soft leaded pencil. I have found headstones that were virtually unreadable -- wet or day, in the sunlight or in the shadows, or by running my fingers over the letters -- become readable from a rubbing. You simply lay the paper over the area of the headstone you wish to "rub" and with a gentle motion move the pencil lead back and forth over the stone. The edges of the lettering will show up darker than the indentations and once the rubbing is complete and the paper is laid out flat it is usually readable. (And no harm is done to the stone!).

That was a tremendous help. And your tip about taking the bucket to sit on is great! These old bones would appreciate that. Do you still go out and register graves? Have you ever tried metal detecting? Thank you again. Suzie

<PRE>This is what a company that makes stones told me to use. It is what they do lettering with.

Are you sure this won't damage them? I had tought of magic markers, probably about the same kind of ink or is it?

Looking for Mary Windell the last I knew of her she was living in Perry Okla and I think that she died there could some one help me find her burial place thank you Richard

Actually rubbings can eventually run away too -- but probably with charcoal, would be less harmfull than many things. It isn't usually dust that is the problem -- it is lechen and hard packed dirt. I will start taking some soft charcoal. thanks for the imput. Kay In a message dated 8/27/02 11:20:46 AM, e.m.ritter@worldnet.att.net writes: << I had never considered cleaning a tombstone. Using a very wide and soft, sable paint brush, I would "dust" the surface until I could remove as much dust and excess particles. I carry masking tape, acid free tracing paper and soft charcoal. I tape the tracing paper over what ever section cannot be read and do a rubbing. The masking tape removes easily and I have yet to have any residue left. This way I do not damage the stone, and am able to obtain the info I need. Tracing or rubbing has been used for decades and has proven to be the safest and easiest way to obtain info from the stones.

Regarding photos of gravestones - at the time you are having your film developed, have them also put the pictures on a CD for your computer. You pay extra for the CD, but it's worth it in the long run, if you will need more than one copy of the pictures. One thing I learned was to either have the CD made at the time you have the film developed - or - tell the developer to not cut the negatives into strips, just leave them as one long strip. Then, for some reason, it doesn't cost an arm & leg to have them put on CD later. But once they are cut into strips, it costs quite a bit more to have them put on CD. Suzie

Cbm3b@aol.com You have evidently signed up to be on the OK-CEMETERIES mailing list. When you do this YOU receive EVERY piece of email that is sent to the list. The email is not intended for any one person, but for anyone that is interested in a subject, or at least interested enough to become a list member. If I have misunderstood the problem please excuse my butting in. When I joined my first list I wondered about why I was receiving all of this email about people that knew nothing about.

YOU're to be commended Dennis. My husband and I did some looking for a relative of his in the Waukoomis (sp?) cemetery. A gentleman saw our out of state plates (we're from Oregon) and asked us who we were looking for. It turns out, he had the records for the cemetery there. The individual we were looking for was not buried there, but his son was. Keep up the good work. Becky D in Oregon. We do a lot of photograhing in cemeteries, but don't know how to put the pictures on the computers to e-mail them.
