Cemetery Plots Make a Nice Christmas Gift

One of the more amusing (at least to me) incidents in my family history research was the story related to me by mother regarding an interesting Christmas gift that her parents received from my great-grandparents.

Apparently one year for Christmas my great-grandparents, Virgil and Edna Wright, gave all of their children cemetery plots for a Christmas gift. Now this may not have seemed like a great gift at the time, but everyone will eventually die - and planning ahead makes good sense. Today my grandfather and grandmother are buried right next to my great-grandparents because of this gift.

In light of the family dynamic, the gift makes sense - afterall, the 80 acres that the family farm sat one were divided into thirds, with one great-aunt on the east and the other on the west. When the house passed down into my immediate family, I grew up having great-aunts on both sides. A very tight knit family, indeed.

Pre-planning for one's funeral is a good idea, and I'll admit that I wouldn't mind if I received a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. Although, I think I would prefer to be buried at Park Cemetery closer to cousin James Dean. For some reason, I've always enjoyed that look and feel of that cemetery.

We're just a few days away from Christmas and there are many gifts to be received. No matter what I receive, I'm sure that it won't top my great-grandparents for the most unusual gift.

Pearl Harbor : Great-Uncle John High

Pearl Harbor, the "day that will live in infamy", touched my immediate family in a number of ways. Not only did my grandfather and several great-uncles enlist to fight the Japanese - but my great-uncle John High was on board the U.S.S. Oklahoma on that fateful day.

Updating FindAGrave Memorial Pages

Today I spent a little bit of time updating and adding a few memorial pages to FindAGrave. If you haven't checked out that site, I would encourage you to do so. Right now, my plans are to continue to add memorial pages for as many relatives as I can and request photos of their tombstones. So far, I've had success with photographs of tombstones as far away as Massachusetts and Iowa.

Kahre Connections

After working recently on another line for my daughter, I stumbled upon a WorldConnect database that had quite a bit of information on the Kahre family. I posted a "Post-Em" but have not received a reply. Much of the information appears to have come from a book entitled "The Kahre Connection" by J. Elwyn Kahre. A Google search turned up the title on Amazon.com but it was listed as unavailable.

My daughter's maternal 4th-great grandmother was Anna Maria Louisa Catherine Kahre, born April 25, 1840 in Kummerdingsen, Westphalia and died October 11, 1915 in Evansville, Vanderburgh Co., IN. She was the daughter of Heinrich Wilhelm and Marie Caroline Wilhelmina (Korff) Kahre. She married Karl Louis/Ludwig Ritt on July 28, 1864 in Vanderburgh Co., IN.

I will take the information from this database with a grain of salt, but it does give quite a few interesting clues - and traces the Kahre line back into the late 1690's.
