Just a closing note for today as I usually don't post on Fridays. You might remember that I recently finished and published a book on the unrecorded burials in the city cemeteries, cremations, buried out of county, etc which covered thousands of unrecorded burials not shown in the historical society's cemetery book. And, I mentioned that Martha Harrison was soon to be publishing a like book on the county cemeteries. Martha brought over a copy of her new book last week or so and it's great! She, like I have deaths back into the late 1800's up thru March or Apr of this year and spent 14 years tracking down these cemeteries. She used as sources as I did, old newspapers, death certificates, etc. Additionally, Martha traveled hundreds of miles trying to locate some of these old cemeteries that haven't been recorded. Her book is marvelous! She also has information from DAR records, personal research, books, scrapbooks, letters, and source county records. Each cemetery is named with directions (many no longer in existence), with full information as to births and deaths, spouses or parents when found, some biographical. She also has a section with corrections on the published cemetery book. There are literally hundreds of "new" cemeteries in the book which is done in alphabetical order by cemetery name and has a full name index. There are also pictures of some of the stones or cemetery. The book, including index is 319 pages and is bound in a spiral notebook style. If you've lost family here in Barren Co and couldn't find them in the historical society cemetery book - they just might be here! I seldom plug books on the list as you know but these cemetery books will go a long way in documenting those family cemeteries and deaths that have never been in print before. I compliment Martha for a long-time dedication to doing this; I know how how she worked!!! If you have any interest, you can contact Martha at MartyP@scrtc.com to ask any question (other than look-ups really) about cost, etc. It is a good investment believe me; I know the quality of Martha's work! If you are in the area on Nov. 4 (Sat), I will be at the Green Co book fair in Greensburg and will have copies of Martha's cemetery book and mine. See you all on Monday ... Sandi
