Faster than a high speed shutter.  More determined than the most dedicated genealogist.  Able to leap six foot fences in a couple of bounds.

Is it Super Woman?  No!  It's our very own Tombstone Hunter, woman extraordinaire, BKW!!

Armed with only her trusty digital camera, a pot scrubber, scrub brush, and a 4 lb. sack of flour, she scours the hills, dales and deep undergrowth of St. Francois County, leaving no plot untouched, no moss growing, no stone over-turned, in her endless search of known, missing, and unknown grave sites.

Revered by many, feared by none, genealogists everywhere can rest in peace knowing that she is ever on the alert for a sunken patch of ground or a protruding stone.  The ever faithful camera, loaded with a 1 gig chip, is ever-ready to expose all hidden ancestors.  The roar of an engine or the hacking of brush, signals that our Tombstone Hunter is again on the move.

Our many thanks to the brave, fearless Tombstone Hunter!
