Tombstone
Photo Request
All photos already on site are free and may be
printed for family files you are researching. However they may not be used on
another commercial or nationally based site without the implicit permission of
The USGENWEB Project
Family Histories &
Biographies
Please - Per USGenWeb guidelines - No ged
coms from family tree maker or any other genealogy based programs. Please
submit family information either in biographical or story form. I and other
volunteers have done quite a few of the ged com revisions and it really takes a
lot of time to alter and remove the repeated information within.

Previous Months
News
In the month of January, Keith Harrison informed us
of a new book and study he had done in a 600 page volume. So we happily added
the surnames and associated families to our family donated biography page and
linked it to
google books
so take a moment and look at the
Biography
page for new pages linked.
In this same light, another major information
contributor was:
Descendants of William D. Jones Contributed by: Christi J.
Cook - U.S. Air Force Veteran standinglynx@yahoo.com
James Riggs sent us photos of the stones at Smith
Chapel Cemetery and we will be posting these on line in the month of February,
or as soon as I finish with another huge project that I am working on for yet
another GenWeb site.
Korean War Casualties for Cass County were added on December
1st, 2008. Then on December 19th we added the Vietnam War Casualties to honor
those brave military personnel that gave the ultimate sacrifice for their
county.
We put the 1860 township maps and Town maps have been improved,
thanks to the scanning ability of Davis Ball.

We improved the kids page too!
Added to our school pages in December were Vandalia Intermediate
School photos and Rosters for 1922 - 23 and 1928. For this we express a warm
thank you to Marshall Sanders along with Ruth Emeline Anderson Walker
and Marjorie Anderson Norton, (sisters to Dorothy Anderson who appears
in the Vandalia School photos in the 1920's).
