10 May 2008-Sat.: Sue Hohneke met Doug ARNDT, of Illinois, at the Laurie Room-DCL here in Sturgeon Bay. He has spent the last several years taking pictures of tombstones in the Town of Liberty Grove where his family has resided for many generations.
The cemeteries that he photographed are the Ellison Bay Town Cemetery, Sister Bay Moravian Cemetery and Little Sister Cemetery in Sister Bay. He has created HTMLs of an Index of Names on these cemeteries that link to their individual pictures of tombstones which he has titled: "Tombstones" and which he has shared in the form of a DVD with us and with the Door County Library, Laurie Room as well as the Door County Historical Archives.
His "Tombstone" Project has been added as (3) separate pages for the cemeteries linked to the cemeteries indexes page and can also be accessed from the DC Cemeteries Page.. Doug will also be adding his Surnames he is researching (which include much of Town of Liberty Grove) to our Surname Index as well. What a wonderful resource he has created and shared! Thank you, Doug!
