Submitting Information for the Website

Warm salutations to all contributors and enthusiasts of historical preservation. As guardians of our county’s rich heritage, we eagerly invite you to share invaluable cemetery information that helps illuminate our past.

To streamline this process and ensure accuracy, we kindly request submissions to adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Data Format: Please format individual entries as follows:

  • Last Name, First Name, Middle Initial
  • Birthdate and Death date
  • Additional details, such as inscriptions or relationships like “shares a stone with…”

2. Text Formatting: Kindly use a combination of upper and lower case letters, refraining from all caps. For date entries, unless you’re providing a comprehensive list for an entire cemetery, present them as month, day, year for clarity (e.g., Jul 25, 1880 – Mar 2, 1937).

3. Photograph Naming Convention: When submitting images, adhere to the naming convention:

  • Utilize all lowercase letters.
  • Commence with the initials of the first and middle names, followed by the last name. For shared tombstones, incorporate both names.
    • Individual: smithfi.jpg
    • Shared: smithfime.jpg

5. Photo Adjustments: Rest assured, our team will manage resizing and cropping of pictures as required, eliminating any concerns on your end.

6. List Organization: No need for alphabetization; we’ll handle that part.

7. Photo Adjustments: Rest assured, our team will manage resizing and cropping of pictures as required, eliminating any concerns on your end.
