Normally, I wouldn't research
four times removed cousins, but on a trip to Highland Cemetery, Ypsilanti,
Michigan there were numerous Glover's buried there and I took pictures of them
all. Once I got home, I tried to place the names on the gravestones within my
family tree.
One gravestone was for Nancy J.
Glover. Nancy was the wife of Henry Pierce Strong Glover, my first cousin four
times removed. Nancy was born Nancy Jane Kishler. Henry's grandfather was
Alexander Glover, my fourth great grandfather.
Highland Cemetery is a
beautiful cemetery, and their office staff is exceptional. I stopped at the
office to ask where the Glover plot was. Not only did the office worker show me
on the map, but she also copied sexton cards for me. This must be the most
friendly, helpful, cemetery office I have ever been to.
