This was originally intended as an anecdotal genealogy website dedicated to putting a personality on those that have passed before, specifically those that I have heard stories about or even knew personally. But it has gradually changed to cemetery statuary, and as it was at first, featuring celebreties. For my personal links go to the end of the blog, Spencer G Corkum

There is a new day coming upon rising.

I told you I was sick

In Europe families enjoy the outdoor park-like setting of cemeteries picnicking next to their family stones. I find the statuary and headstones afford my wanderer's imagination the chance to speculate on someone's life struggles and how we view the passage of time. Today computers can etch color photos on stones within a couple of weeks. But I like phrases and comments best of all. Many are well known and often repeated, like I told you I was sick.
