This was an effort during the depression to pay people to transcribe gravestones as their job when no one had a job. It was done in the mid 1930s. See if your cemetery was transcribed back then. Many of the stomas that ate unreadable today were readable back then. Your local library may have the records in their reference section!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2764892034202059803.post-84777889315549006762011-10-05T09:46:07.636-06:002011-10-05T09:46:07.636-06:00Dear Cameron: You could find out the name of the ...Dear Cameron: You could find out the name of the Sexton (Cemetery's caretaker) or contact the Clerk at the local government office (city/township/village). There should be records that you can view to get that information. Just keep in mind that some graves may be too old and therefore no record may exist any longer.

George and Washington were my great great great uncles. William H. Carson is my great x3 grandfather. George Carson was killed by a squaw indian that threw a spear in his leg and he died a few days later. Washington Carson headed for some dense cave banks near utah lake where he was met and killed by the Tintic tribe of indians. John Carson the leader of the five carson brothers that settled fairfield and others chased cheif white elk and his braves across utah lake in the dead of winter and they fell through the ice and were killed.

My eagle project was I set up that monument there and are currently in the process of having a plaque made with all the names of the people buried there up to the year 1950. TONSof headstones are unreadable and will become unreadable after time. My question is how do you know who is buried there at a grave where you can't read the head stone? All the rocks you see out there in that feild are grave markers that have detiorated over time or had nothing on them.
