- Our thanks to the following who contributed photographs
and transcriptions for the Miami Valley Memory Gardens Virtual Cemetery.
Their photographs will be added to this site and the Warren County
Genealogical Society will eventually use the results of their efforts
to publish a new Cemetery Book
- The Apostles, Cross and Everlasting Life sections
were photographed by the Aric Harrison Eagle Scout Project.
- The Prayer and Last Supper Sections were photographed
by the Philip Stanfield Eagle Scout Project.
- The Doris Kading family
photographed nearly all of the Devotion section.
- The Dana Palmer family photographed the rest
of the cemetery (Christus upper & lower, Babyland, Family
Heritage, Chapel Maus 1, Chapel Maus 2, Maus 1, Maus 2, and
Estates) and re-took photos that were blurry or were new burials
since the Eagle projects were complete in all other sections
(Prayer, Last Supper, Everlasting Life, Cross, and Apostles).
Andy, Megan and Joseph Palmer helped with double
checking all the names and cleaning off the stones for Prayer,
Last Supper, Everlasting Life, Cross and Apostles.
