Added the dates. Hope the death date is 1881. It was hard to read.

RE: John J. Kingery
There was already a John J Kingery created (#45710582), which the picture was already added to.

I will upload the photo to John Jefferson Kingery (#26042429) as well.

Thanks,
Angie

Here is my website link that includes the Spaldings. I had a contact years ago that stated they had an obit, but I seriously doubt that and need to remove that reference. val

RE: Kingery, Elias Elbert Jr.
Ann,
You must have mistaken on the Elias' memorial. I created a memorial on Stephens' son Elias 1832-1856, not on Elias' son aka Jr. back in 2008, which I transferred to Michael Hebert to maintain.
Upon further reviewing, I see there was a memorial you created and transferred to me. Originally created in 2010. Unfortunately, I don't have the authority to delete this memorial. I assume since you created it, you would have to delete the memorial.

Best wishes, C. Galen Kingery

RE: Plummer, Perl & Stephen
The other Plummer stones near Perl were Susie M., Fred O., and Catherine Marie. All stones were photographed and posted on their memorials.

RE: Sarah Kingery
Thank you for the transfer Ann. I appreciate it very much as well as your hard work. My 2nd great GF, James Morgan Kingery's brother was Elias Elbert Kingery Jr. After his first wife died in 1916, Elias Jr. married Sarah Elizabeth Waters the following year (1917) in Hennessey, Kingfisher Co., Oklahoma. She was married previously in 1893 to George M. Waters who was 29 yrs her senior.

RE: Private George W. Britton, Co. E, 86th Illinois
Dear Ann, Thanks so very much for the new information about George's wife. I was surprised there was not a site set up for her. I have now set up a site for her and have linked her to her husband. I LOVE Find A Grave and I LOVE most of the people who use it and who Contribute to it. I would give anything and I would consider it a great honor to be able to write a biography for Private George W. Britton, detailing his service in the Union Army during the Civil War. The only problem I see with Find A Grave is that it has created an small group of people who apparently believe that the one who dies with managerial control over the most Find A Grave sites wins. It isn't enough that they will receive credit for Creating A Find A Grave Site FOREVER as the CREATOR. They want total and supreme control over a site and they have decided that the person's name, date of birth and date o death is all that is necessary to put on their sites. Biographical material is not not necessarily needed on their sites. The sad thing is they have done nothing to their sites and have no plans to do anything to their sites and don't care that there are people out there who would love to add material to those sites and consider it great honor to do so that aren't relatives. They just want to be able to say they CONTROL what happens to their 100,000 sites. How do you manage 100,000 sites anyway? I have my hands full with the sites I have and I don't have 1,000 sites and sure don't want to die with thousands of sites on my hands. The lady that has the site has had it for several years, didn't even care if there was a picture of his niche on his site. Now Thanks to YOU, anyone that goes to that site will at least be able to see a picture of his niche. Oh well... I LOVE FIND A GRAVE!!! Thanks to the many volunteers who work for Find A Grave, I have lived to see pictures of hundreds of tombstones of veterans of the 86th which I knew that I was NEVER EVER going to see in person and which I was NEVER EVER even going to be able to see a picture of. Two years ago, I never would have believed that I was going to be able to go to a site, any site, and see pictures of their tombstones. Now 840 veterans of the 86th, out of the 992 men who served in the 86th, have Find A Grave sites, almost all of them have pictures of their tombstones, thanks almost entirely to people like you, and I have written biographies for about 1/3 of them and am working on others almost as we speak. I also have pictures of over 100 of them, mostly in the uniform of their country, on their sites and the added benefit from all of this is is that I have found about a half dozen veterans of the 86th whose graves are not marked with any type of marker at all. I am currently working with several Sons Of Union Veterans Post and several American Legion Posts to get the graves of these veterans of the Union Army properly marked. Well, I should get off my soapbox. Thanks again for you have done and for all you will yet do for Find A Grave!! It is GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Sincerely, Baxter

Private George W. Britton, Co. E, 86th Illinois
Dear Ann, I can't Thank You enough for searching out and getting that photograph of the marker for Private George W. Britton. I wish it had mentioned his service in the Civil War, but not all veterans have that information place on their markers. Did you happen to notice if there were any other members of the Britton family buried nearby? I don't know very much about Private Britton after he got out of the service at this point and at some point I hope to see if I can find an obituary record. If you didn't notice of there were other members of the family and it you ever go back, I would love to know, but, PLEASE, do not make a special trip for me. I am just thrilled now to see a picture of his marker in the mausoleum. Thanks for you have done and for all you will yet do for Find A Grave. It is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! Sincerely, Baxter

death record
i put the death record on someone elses page because it is my family. and the other person does not want the death record and will not add links to the parents. if i put a photo on someone elses site they can not remove it without asking me to do it. i guess i need to ask every time. i just thought people would appreciate it and not get mad. i have had to put the death records and add links onto the parents sites now and i hope people that are looking for the parents can find them. i dont understand some people and i have been at this so long i have learned to do what they ask and then avoid them in the future.

death record
yes death record and death certificate are alot of the same info. utah and missori both have the death certificate online before about 1960 for anyone to get. states like washington have had the death record transcripted and you can read what is on the death certificate but it is not the actual death certificate. chicago has the same kinda thing. wash. and chicago have the actual death certificate at the church history center so someone can make a copy of it and email it to you for a small fee of about 5 bucks. when i find a death certificate i get it uploaded to the find a grave site so people dont have to keep buying this stuff over and over again.

William Plummer
I received a message that William Plummer is not buried in Faunce Cemetery, Montrose, Cumberland County, Illinois. This is their message (William's memorial is in the wrong cemetery. His gravesite is actually in nearby Needham Cemetery. Could you please move the memorial to the correct cemetery.)

The reason I am asking you is because you posted the original memorial for him and you posted the photo of his headstone. Please let me know if your in formation is correct of should I move him to Needham Cemetery. I have have the same information for his wife Sarah.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Susan

Robert Plummer stone
This stone is located in the Montrose City Cemetery--not Faunce. The two cemeteries are only a mile or so apart. I did not see Susan Plummer or Wiley Vail in Faunce either and did not think to look for them in the City Cem. I will check the City Cem records the next time I go to the library in Effingham. Donna
