Memorials at the Meinhard Family Cemetery

Meinhard Cemetery Now Listed

George reports, "the Meinhard Cemetery at Troy Grove had not been listed on find-a-grave.com. I have added it but now need any photos that any of you have from there — both of the memorials and the cemetery – especially the gate with the Meinhard name."

Description on findagrave.com

"I have only added a memorial for Michael so far. I requested the admin of Frederick Memorial at storm Lake to insert a link to Michael's memorial." Can you explain a bit more, George.

"If you look at other memorials on findagrave such as those for the Samsels at the Storm Lake Cemetery you'll see that many of them include links to parents and to siblings. Links to parents can only be added by the person(s) who administer the memorials of the children. After I add a memorial for Michael's father I'll be able to add a link to him from Michael's memorial. But I have to request the admin of Frederick's to link to Michael.  Is that the question?"

"Among the large collection of material from Uncle Bob are xerox copies of photos of Michael and Maria Meinhard as well as ones of Frederick and Emilie. Does anyone have originals of those photos - or better copies?  I will scan what I have but would prefer better quality for their memorial pages on findagrave.

I've added memorials for Jacob and Karl as well as Maria in the Meinhard Family Cemetery. I've also requested links from the memorials for Henry, Anna, Wilhelmina, Adolph, and Eberhard as well as Frederick. The one for Anna has already been added. Note that all except Frederick remained in Illinois and have many descendants who also retain an interest in the cemetery property. But I don't think any of us have had any contact with these distant cousins or have identified any of them."
