Hello all!  After some terrible weather here in Monroe County, I am hoping that all of the cemeteries out in the areas that were affected weathered the storms all right.  I know that homes and property were damaged, but thankfully no injuries have been reported.  Cemeteries rarely get into the news for such damage, so I always hope that they are all right.

Today I have been working diligently on reading through and notating "Counties of Monroe, Morgan and Brown" edited by Charles Blanchard in 1884.  The section that I am focusing on are the areas where the worst of the weather hit this past weekend, so I can't help but wonder how they fared.

Over the past several months, I have been notating Blanchard's work, trying to locate graves of these pioneers and their families.  It is difficult and frustrating in some cases as so much of the history has been lost to time, but I am persevering.

Please follow the link below to check out my new page A Walk Through our History where you read up on these people and their entries in the book.  Check back often because I hope to continue to add country townships as time goes on.  You can also follow the link on the sidebar in the future.

Thank you for visiting!
