Tombstone Tuesday My Great Great Grandparents Gravestone Flavious and Anne Millsap in Kansas

This is the gravestone of my great great grandparents Anne (Woodmansee) and Flavious Millsap.

I knew about them and had a picture of both of them thanks to http://www.ancestry.com/ . I even now have a copy of Anne's obituary thanks to searching the Internet . You can read the obituary and more about her at http://www.myfamilyrootsrundeep.blogspot.com/ .
My next search was to try and find her and my great great grandfather gravestone.
I went to http://www.findagrave.com/ . First I searched Kansas for Anne Millsap nothing found. Next search was Flavious once again nothing found. Last searched just the last name of Millsap in Kansas and found a page of Millsaps buried in the Syracuse Cemetery in Syracuse, Kansas. Flavious and Anne's tombstone is identified by F. A. and Annie.
Now I have their gravestone and know that some one called her Annie. They are buried side by side in the Syracuse Cemetery, Syracuse, Kansas.
I find it such a gift that someone has taken a picture of their tombstone in Kansas and I can view a picture of it sitting here at home in Texas.

Thank You For Stopping By... Hope You Stop By Again ... Grace

A Christmas Verse For You

Christmas is creeping up on us. Time to spend time with our love ones and think of our family far away or who have past on. Many Christmas's have past for me. 61 one to be exact. Lots of wonderful memories and some not so great.
Times are good today. Money is tight, but we have our health ( cancer free 5 years ) ( sober 2 years 10 months and 20 days thank you Jesus) Hubby is well, children are doing pretty good. As in many cases money is tight for them too, but we have it so much better than a lot of folks around us. We are warm, have a place to sleep and food to feed our bellies. I want to take this time to be thankful for all I have and to pray for those still suffering with no place to sleep, hungry, out of work and what ever disease they are suffering from.
I want to thank all of you who visit me at my different blogs. You may not comment often but I do sense you there and hope that I give you some joy or a just a smile.
God bless you and have a wonderful Christmas and lets pray for peace and a prosperous year for all of us.
Today's vintage post card is a Christmas Verse .
Here's a Christmas Message packed with cordial good cheer
To friends, one and all, far and near, Of Peace on earth, good will I send
A loving message to you , dear friend
