Mary Elizabeth (Ferguson) Warren, my maternal gggGrandmother. She is buried in Warren-Powers Cemetery, Adelphi, Polk, Iowa, where my mother is buried. Mary's husband is William James Warren.
As a family historian and genealogist, my interests naturally evolved to cemeteries and their care. I am a Find A Grave volunteer, and also owner of Northern Arizona Gravesite Caregivers (providing floral deliveries and gravesite maintenance for a modest fee). I am also a Period Costumer sewing clothing from all eras from Renaissance and Medieval, Revolutionary War, Civil War, Pioneer to various decades of the 20th century.
SAPPHIRE DAWN STUDIO is my ceramic and pottery studio, located in the beautiful mountains of Northern Arizona.
“In the white moonlight, where the willow waves,He halfway gallops among the graves---A tiny ghost in the gloom and gleam,Content to dwell where the dead men dream,” that is the Graveyard Rabbit.
The Dedication of Graveyard Rabbits
We are "dedicated to the academic promotion of the historical importance of cemeteries, grave markers, and the family history to be learned from a study of burial customs, burying grounds, and tombstones; and the social promotion of the study of cemeteries, the preservation of cemeteries, and the transcription of genealogical/ historical information written in cemeteries" (from the site of the Association of Graveyard Rabbits.)
