Comment by Lori Shoemaker Hellmund on August 13, 2009 at 5:57am: I really liked the fact that you couldn't travel more than 4 mph.

Comment by Robin R. Cordell-Inge on August 12, 2009 at 10:07pm: Hey does anyone have a search need... will look up
Wichita Falls, Electra, Iowa Park, Vernon, Bowie, and some of the surrounding area's if you need anything...

Comment by Robin R. Cordell-Inge on August 12, 2009 at 10:06pm: I wanna give a big shout of THANKS to Tori up in St. Ignace MI for going and locating my great-grandmother's and my grandfather's headstone for me. I live in Texas, so it was such a wonderful suprise to receive the photos...

Comment by Robin R. Cordell-Inge on August 12, 2009 at 10:05pm: I can see why they would require that though. A horse would tear up the grass.

Comment by Betty Vaughn on August 12, 2009 at 9:05pm: Oh Lori that is so neat. I never thought about back a hundred years ago having that kind of restrictions. Just remember to tie your horse and no dogs allowed.. hmm.. I wonder if they had to carry a LARGE bag and shovel to clean up after the horse.

Comment by Lori Shoemaker Hellmund on August 11, 2009 at 8:13pm: The following is the ticket my great grandfather, Ralph Marling, used to visit his wife, Maggie's burial place in Greenlawn Cemetery, Columbus, Ohio. Thought you might enjoy reading the rules at the time.

Comment by Sally Nelson on August 11, 2009 at 4:04pm: Thank you Cyndi for the link on Pennsylvania cemetery laws. I will read it with interest.

Comment by Betty Vaughn on August 11, 2009 at 6:24am: Robin
You do great work. I now live in South Carolina but was born and raised in WF. Have family buried in WF, Electra, and Burk. So glad to have some one like you in my family County!!

Comment by Cyndi Beane Henry on August 11, 2009 at 5:59am: This is in regard to Sally Nelson's question below, regarding PA cemeteries.

I was unable to find anything mentioning your specific question, however, here's a good website with PA cemetery laws. Hope this helps.

Comment by Bob Rowe on August 11, 2009 at 4:29am: Hey Rachel, good work contacting findagrave admin. I worked to get a similar problem cleared up only to have someone recreate the problem. The admin NEED US to tell them where the problems are. In my relatively small circle of grave yards I have found two problems where the cemetery is close to a county line and people have created two cemeteries by the same name, one in each county. I wish people would do a little research before they create the new [wrong location] cemetery.
