They were located in St. Mary Catholic Cemetery in Richfield, Washington County, Wisconsin, USA. The markers were made of very soft stone and over the years, the elements, wind, rain and freezing winter weather caused the stone to deterioate and the information became less and less readable.

Your Assistance Needed: I know I am repeating myself, but it is true, am very much in need of photos for many family members. If you have not shared a portrait photo of yourself, your spouse and a family photo, the family heritage needs them! Don't forget your high school graduation photos. Check here for guidelines addressing heritage background information and picture selection. Hope the year 2014 will be everything you wish for it to be. Take care, and enjoy your family. Peace to you End of this the 2013 family newsletter.
