Find A Grave


While scanning the web for information on William Arenz, the husband of Emma Rebecca Cooksley (1865-1895), the links brought me to the Find A Grave website, which allows users to post information on persons buried in various cemeteries around the world. According to the site, they have 13 million burials listed. I greatly appreciated seeing the grave stone for William Arenz, and made a note of his date of death for future death notice checking in the Bee or Union. I became a registered user, and made entries for Anna Schnar (1840-1901); her son, John D. Hagerty (1862-1891); this blog's namesake, Doctor Henry James Cooksley; his daughter-in-law Nellie Elizabeth Hagerty; and a number of others.
