[or-roots] Benton County Cemetery Updates

[Lee Gentemann]

Thanks for the note about the spelling of Gerking.  There isn't any plan for cemetery updates - they just happen when some generous volunteer agrees to do it.  There aren't very many volunteers for a group this big.

It is apparently a typo somewhere along the line.  Our cemetery books have it as GERLING and whoever did the typing for our web pages, carried on the error.

I phoned a lady that has a map of the cemetery and she verified that is GERKING.

I'll make the correction on the USGenWeb page and pass the info along for changing the Benton Pioneer database also, but before I do, are there any other family members that should connect to James GERKING, that should appear in the database?

Database reference for him is at:

  Lee,

  Is an update anticipated for Lone Fir Cemetery in Lobster Valley? That web site shows the name of James Gerling and it should be James GeRking. I've not visited that cemetery so don't know personally if that's caused by a typo or if the tombstone was engraved that way, but one of his gggranddaughters reported she had visited the grave and she didn't mention a misspelling on the stone.
