Wishing You A Merry Christmas With A Few Thoughts From Me







Meet my great nephews and neice .. are they not adorable.. Boy do I miss seeing those faces and weekly



As this wonderful Christmas holiday approaches us I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and pray that we all welcome in a wonderful New Year. I pray that our next year is better and more prosperous than the last for all of us.

As we share the holidays with our family and friends lets please think and pray for those that are less fortunate then us. Pray for the hungry, the homeless and those suffering from addictions , diseases and mental illness. My one thought always is " but for the grace of God there go I ".

Lets take a moment and pray for our service men and service women. And for those that are in harms way in a foreign country give them an extra thought and prayer. Pray for their families that are left here to deal with every day happenings without them. The majority of them do so much for so little.
Lets pray for our government officials that they have the wisdom to do what is best for all of us and the knowledge to do it with out fighting.

If you are still blessed to have your parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts be thankful. Take a moment to hug and kiss them. Take a few minutes and ask them to share their stories with you. Some day sadly they will be gone and you will then wish that you knew more of their history.

I am reminded of a conversation at my hubby's birthday party. I made a comment about getting married the first time and my step son and his family had never heard that story. I have been married to husband #2 for almost 22 years. We celebrate our wedding anniversary on the 30Th of December. They know very little about my history. That is probably my fault and maybe some of theirs.



This is hubby and me 10 years ago at a dinner theater on New Years eve. Guess it is time to get a new nice picture of us. He still has the tie and I probably still have that outfit. Question is can I still get into it.

So much contact today is emails and text messages. I personally detest text messages saying" happy anything " Take a moment and call your family. Here a voice and say I love you to some one. When I get one I just delete it as if it did not happen. Except for one text message from my grand daughter Kirsten. She sent me one and it is of a loud " Kiss " and "I Love You"I play it often. It was not sent for a birthday, Christmas message or any reason other than she thought of me and sent it. Grandpa got one too. Thanks Kirsten I smile when I replay it.

I am busy always searching and writing about my ancestors but I guess it is time to do some sharing of my life in writing. How I wish I had more of my parents, grandparents and past relatives stories. There are so many stories untold. As I share some of my life on my family blog site I have been printing some of them so I can give to family in the future.

Now with all of that I will leave you for now. It is time to make another pot of coffee, put on one of my favorite Christmas movies " Love Actually " with Hugh Grant and make my Watergate Salad for our Christmas eve party tonight.

I appreciate all of you that take a moment to visit my sites and to those of you who leave a message an extra thank you . Merry Christmas to you and your families .. Grace

Winter In Duluth Minnesota


It is now winter here in Duluth. The gravestones are covered with snow and there is no picture taking for now.
Every day I get more and more requests for pictures of family gravestones through http://www.findagrave.com/

I never knew of all of these cemeteries until now. I grew up with knowing of the four in my little world and now I am getting requests for cemeteries outside of Duluth and for Douglas County, Wisconsin.

All will have to wait till next spring and the snow melts. This pretty picture is from this fall and shows some of the residents of Forest Hill Cemetery here in Duluth. I need to look at this often to help forget the cold weather around me.

Wordless Wednesday In Duluth Minnesota Finding Charles Peterson's Grave



(Almost) Wordless Wednesday at Forest Hill in Duluth Minnesota is featuring my quest to find Charles Peterson.
I had a request to find a Charles Peterson through http://www.findagrave.com/ . I know other attempts had been made and messages of no luck had been posted on the request page for the cemetery.

As I am wandering looking for this Peterson I kept looking at this tombstone.
Buried here is Edith I 1896 - 1956 and Burleigh Peterson 1893 - 1995. Wrong name, I then wandered further away knowing he has to be some where here. I turn round and head back towards this tombstone and written on the bottom is my Charles Peterson 1863 - 1942. There he is just waiting for some one to notice this small inscription written at the bottom on the other side. Burleigh was the son of Charles.



This is something you see in the old tombstones, but I was not expecting it on one of this age.
Mission accomplished and a great grandson can see his great grandfather's name and knows where to find him.
Soon the snow will fall and no more graveyard hunting here in Minnesota until Spring..

Thanks for stopping by and viewing the post of this wandering graveyard rabbit...Grace

Find A Grave For Fish Family At Forest Hill Cemetery Duluth Minnesota



I am a volunteer for http://www.findagrave.com/ . There have been a few requests for pictures of graves at Forest Hill Cemetery in Duluth Minnesota. This is a big cemetery and I have never driven through it until yesterday. It was a cool windy day. Winter will be here soon, maybe as soon as Saturday. I felt it was time to find some of the requested graves.

I stopped in at the office to see if I could get a map of the cemetery and help to find the graves so I could take my pictures . I had 10 names on my list. Not many names but they are from one end to the other end of the cemetery, and not easy to find even when you find the section you want. Hubby and I spent over an hour and a half searching.

I was able to take pictures of 5 from the list plus there were family members buried near by . I added those graves to the list.

Today I am featuring the Fish Family



This is the tombstone of Elizabeth Fish born 1844 died 1916.

She is buried on the side of a steep hill. I felt like a mountain goat. The goat picture is from the National Geographic page. http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=picture+of+mountain+goat+national+geographic&psj=1&wrapid=tlif12895984862981&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=JrbdTLXMIMOAlAell_nuDA&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCoQsAQwAA&biw=948&bih=375

I also found the grave of a J Frances 1875 1888 buried near her.

When I went to post the picture of J Frances this is what I found written on his memorial page.


Killed while jumping from a passenger train near the west end of Duluth, Minnesota. James Francis Fish was the son of Elizabeth McMahon Fish and Francis A. Fish.

How sad that he died so young, he was a 13 year old boy probably out for an day of adventure.

Hope that you have enjoyed your time at my "wandering rabbit" ( or mountain goat) page.. please take a moment and read about some of my other trips to a cemetery and I hope you stop back again soon.. Grace

Wordless Wednesday Visits Duluth Minnesota Cemetery

Wordless Wednesday (Almost) posting I am
once again visiting
Forest Hill Cemetery in Duluth Minnesota
Here buried is
Raymond Severson 1910 - 1938
son
Only 28 years old when he died, so sad.
I went to http://www.ancestry.com/ and found his death certificate this tells me when he died exactly.
If I was a family member I would order this to get his parents names. There are several Raymond Seversons listed. 1920 census found one listed as 9 years old and living in Duluth. But with out knowing his families names I have no idea if this is really him.

Minnesota Death Index, 1908-2002 about Raymond Severson

Raymond Severson
Death Date:
9 Feb 1938
Death County:
Saint Louis

So much research can be found on the Internet. That information can be a good start at finding our ancestors.
I have added his name to http://www.findagrave.com/ at Forest Hill Cemetery.
Hopefully family members searching for him will some day find my picture of his gravestone.
Thanks for visiting my wandering rabbit blog.. hope that you will take a few minutes to read some of my other postings before you hop away.

Tombstone Tuesday Duluth Minnesota Duncan and Sarah McNee at Forest Hill Cemetery


Last Saturday was a beautiful day here in northern Minnesota. Sun was shining, sky blue and in the upper 50's. As we were out hunting garage sales we passed the Forest Hill cemetery where my family is buried. After the garage sales made a stop there for about 20 minutes to take some pictures.

It is such a beautiful cemetery with pond, ducks, geese and well maintained.

Lesson from a 62 year old lady.. Listen to body and go to Doctor

Lesson from a 62 year old lady.. Listen to body and go to DoctorMy voice has been quite the last couple of weeks. Reason is I was very sick. Started on the 13th my 62nd birthday ( happy birthday to me ) . Started to have pain in my groin area. I am a stubborn lady and thought I had pulled a muscle. I am not very active so not sure how I could of done this. I laid in bed taking Tylenol for 1 week with ice packs.Finally got some sense and got out of bed. Went to urgent care, emergency room next and into the hospital. Next day I was in surgery and found I had an infection. Just the luck of the universe I guess. I spent 11 days in the hospital on pain pills and antibiotics. I am now home with a wound vac and will be like this for 2 to 3 weeks with going to out patient for wound changes three times a week.I am sharing this adventure to hopefully be a lesson to others. I hope that you are not as stubborn as I am and if not feeling well do not wait a week thinking all will be better. I was very ill with infection going down my leg. I am glad I went in when I did and had the brilliant young doctor's I had.So dear friends in blog land and face book. Listen to your body and go to doctor if not feeling perfect.And thank you to my family for visiting and for the little voices of my grandchildren who could not visit telling me " I love you grandma, get well" Nothing better than hearing those words.I am glad to be home.

Wandering Groveland Cemetery in Minnetonka , Minnesota




I love wandering around cemeteries. They are quiet and peaceful. A squirrel, a bird or maybe one more quiet visitor on the other side of the cemetery.

Today's post is remembering Frieda L Smith Mother.. born 1895 and died 1922 .. was around 27 years old when she passed away. Sad to think of young children growing up without their mama. Rest in Peace Frieda .
Frieda Smith is buried in the Groveland Cemetery in Minnetonka Minnesota.

Tombstone Tuesday Visiting My Late Father In Law Lowell R Johnson



This weekend we took a trip to the twin cities of Minnesota. We visited family and friends, went to a flea market and took a trip out to visit my dh father's grave. We had not been there in the last few years because of living out of state.

It was a beautiful day and a perfect time to make the trip. He is buried Minnetoka Minnesota in a small little cemetery called Groveland. My dh grew up in this area so we also drove areas where he lived, worked, played and swam. His elementary school over looks the cemetery.



This is my father in law's last resting place. He was a big powerful man. An inventor, engineer and always the business man. I only knew him for 7 years but he was always kind, sweet and interested in what I was doing. Rest in peace Lowell. You are loved by many.

Galveston Jewish Cemetery Wandering Among The Beautiful Tombstones


Last weekend we took a trip down to Galveston. Since we are packing up to move to Minnesota in next couple of weeks it may be our last trip for awhile.

I love the water, watching people fish in the Gulf of Mexico, eating at the eateries and most of all visiting the cemetery.

This is the best cemetery ever. Not just one but several different ones in a block or two area. We skipped church and went on Sunday so I was able to visit the Jewish cemetery for the first time.

I could spend weeks just taking pictures among the tombstones in Galveston.
Today's tombstone is for
Henriette wife of Sylvain Blum
born April 2 1850 died Nov 26 1909

Here rests Mrs. Anne Norris of Needville Texas


While wandering around Routte Point Cemetery outside of Needville, Texas a couple of weeks ago I came across the grave of Mrs. Anne Norris.

I am not sure if a monument company decorated this stone or if family members wanted it to be different from the others.

Here lies

Mrs Anne Norris

born Nov 6 1890

died March 28 1980


This is small old cemetery. The stones may be small and some are even home made, but there are two men busy carrying for it. If you ever stop by bring your camera and watch out for the RATTLESNAKES

Wandering Graveyard Rabbit Finds Routt Point Cemetery in Texas




Recently I asked hubby if he wanted to go for a ride into the country side outside of Richmond which is outside of Houston, Texas. He grabs his book as I grab my camera. I was on the errand to find Snake Creek Cemetery of Needville Texas. I had requests for pictures of graves from http://www.findagrave.com/


Along with my camera I have map quest directions. On the road to Snake Creek Cemetery we come across this old sad cemetery. In the middle of the country side is Routt Point Cemetery. I spotted two guys working on a tractor so we pulled over to ask if we were on the right road to Snake Creek Cemetery . They had never heard of the cemetery I was looking for. The only other old cemetery on the road they told me had not been taken care of for over 20 years and they encourage me to not visit... Rattlesnakes....


Well since I am a good old graveyard rabbit, I do what comes naturally. I pulls out my camera and takes pictures of what is in front of me.


This is Routte Point Cemetery outside of Needville, Texas. It is small and an old poor cemetery. The stones are small and some are even home made. But it is being taken care of and for that I am happy. Camera in hand and watching out for RATTLESNAKES .. grass is cut thank God.

Tombstone Tuesday my Great Grandparents Arthur and Mabel Hall



Wandering the Internet to search for family members gravestones can be an interesting endeavor. Recently I was looking for my great grandparents Arthur R and Mabel ( Coleman )Hall and was not able to find them on http://www.findagrave.com/. Next step was to put out requests of contributors in the area they were known to be buried that being Crawford Nebraska. Within a couple of days I had my answer and I could find a picture of their gravestone at http://nebraskagravestones.org/ .


One by one I am on the hunt for the gravestones of my family members. One cemetery to the next by car or by Internet.

Thanks For Stopping By... Grace
