I stumbled upon it by accident while researching some information about Sandusky Bay (I grew up just a bit further to the south in Seneca Co. and would visit the Sandusky/Catawba/Port Clinton area every year on family vacation). <br /><br />Yours is fascinating hobby; I have done a bit of exploring graveyards and have some interest in genealogy as well, so I have tried to capture some photos when I've had the time to preserve the image of some of the older tombstones of my ancestors in Huron and Seneca Cos... many of the limestone ones are gradually wearing down from the ravages of time and acid rain in particular. <br /><br />I read the Sinerson Monument story with interest, and although they are not related to me, I found the account about John Jr. to be especially poignant and intriguing; a tragic loss of someone that young who was loved by all. I very recently found a (free!) site called Family Search which is similar to Ancestry.com but no fee; on it you can search all of the Ohio County Death Records and see microfiche of those records. Not that I have a particularly morbid fascination, but I think it's useful information to find out more about one's ancestors and perhaps even gain insight about family health, and in your case to learn a little bit more about how the folks in the tombs and crypts you photograph lived and died. You might need to make a free account first & sign in; I can't remember. I searched for John Sinerson Jr. using Sandusky as the location and the 1903-1904 as the input parameter for date of death range. Here's the link if it doesn't require login: <br /><br />https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-898Q-C78V?mode=g&i=649&wc=S955-ZNP%3A1296036201%2C1296034102%3Fcc%3D2128172&cc=2128172<br /><br />Sadly, his cause of death is listed as alcoholism, not that this in any way affects my opinion of him or the tragedy of his loss, but I was kind of expecting something like influenza or an accident. I hope you will find the Family Search website and the Death Records to be of use (I have no business connection or financial conflict of interest with them). Best regards and I'll come back and read more of your interesting blog. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
