I love this idea. What we usually do is the graves still have the flowers from last time so we move them to other graves. That way everyone gets a little bit of flowers.

As Memorial Day approaches, I was reminded again that this is the time where family members wish they were nearby to place flowers on graves, but can't because of distance, health, or whatever. When you shop for those memorial flowers and wreaths for your own loved ones, won't you join me in picking up a couple of $1 bunches of flowers to place on those lonely graves where no flowers are placed? Do it for the family members who may not be close enough or healthy enough to do it.. do it for those who have long since gone but used to care for the graves. Do it, just because you're a family historian, and care about these who have passed before us. Do it, because it just feels good! It is a special feeling know that these who would have been without, can now show that someone cared! Lanita Sconce Miller Any family tree produces some lemons, some nuts and a few bad apples.

Dear Shelly, The PARKS name is similar but apparently unconnected with our family ancestry names of PARK from Ontario, Canada, and PARKER from the New England area. Those ancesters participated in the formation of the early L.D.S. Church and were church pioneers in their migration to Salt Lake City. I wish you much success in your searches. If I can help you any further or with anything else, please contact me.

We now have 500 cemetery listings on the "JOHNSON COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY CEMETERY WEBSITE". A great deal of these listings need redocumented, many are several years old. If you are visiting a Johnson County Cemetery and have the time to Redocument it,, Please do so and it would greatly appreciated if you could submit your updated version to the Cemetery Site. On another note "you" may be able to help us with are the past, current deaths, and burials related to Johnson County. They can be found at this url: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jccem/JCRO/OBITTABLE.html Our problem is that there are usually several cemeteries in the Johnson County area with the same name, so it unknown to us as to which cemetery is the one of burial, so it is difficult for us to update any listing we might have online from the obituary. An example is: Jerry Michael Boggs who passed away Apr.24 2003 he was interred in the "Stambaugh Cemetery". We have 7 Stambaugh Cemetery listings online, If you know of an obituary or burial that can be linked to one of the online Cemetery listings we would love to be able to update any of them.
