[or-roots] Headstone Laural hill Eugene

[Dan-M]

Darlene, thats my cousin and we are working together on this.
The gal that put up the find a grave in the original post on fag, was browsing a sale, flea market or something when she found the post cards for sale that belonged to our Aunts n Uncles, 90 or more. Its was a find of the century for us. Jessica got her self adopted by us as family lol;D
   We have a lot of data, but it stops in places we cant find answers.
There is Pat, myself and a cousin in Law Susan and Jessica, maybe some family siblings, but this is our teem and we are stuck. My Rogers on Ancestry is under the Harris Family tree because my wife is doing Harris and she got us all put there. Its not complete , when we began pioneering out here on the desert a home and all the needs took over my end of genealogy for a long long time, now I get a little time, not a lot, but its getting better here and I am getting more time, unless it snows I am mostly out side, today there is snow on the ground and its buger cold out there , so its nice here by the wood stove lol;D
   I can use all the Help I can get, I have run the Rogers list on rw 12 years or better and no one has even found any clues.
   Its mainly finding who has the records for that stone might help.

  If we go back through these messages, there is one (can't find it right now) where Dan referred to a memorial on the Find A Grave web site.  It has a photo of Henry's grave stone, the name William Henry "Henry" Rogers, gives his date and place of birth, death in 1904 in Springfield, Lane Co., OR.  It identifies his wife, and four children.  It also has a picture of a post card sent to Gertie Brabham in Eugene (one of the children of Henry and Elizabeth) from "Father and Mother".   The individual who created the memorial also has memorials for two of Henry & Elizabeth's children, with photos of obituaries, Elizabeth's death certificate, and a post card that Gertie wrote to her mother.  The email address of the person who created the memorial is available on the Find A Grave page, and it seems to me that if she has that much family information, she may have more to offer if Dan were to contact her.  For anyone on this list who wants to take a look, the address for Henry's memorial is:  http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=34106056

  Also, with the information from the National Archives regarding Henry's Civil War service, which includes  his location of death, combined with his widow's application for a pension in September, 1904, the issue of when he died, and where he is buried should be resolved.  Seems to me that the only thing still lacking is Dan's question as to what company manufactured Henry's gravestone.
