** James Stelle Coberly (Find A Grave # 95126770) was my 4th great-grandfather and is my DAR patriot of the Revolutionary War. James was a physician and a surgeon who gave medical aid to the Colonial troops during the war. Anyone who is a direct descendant to James is eligible to become a member of the Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution.

It is wise for us to return to the history of our ancestors. Those who do not look upon themselves and their fellow man as links connecting the past with the future, do not perform their duty to the world.

By Daniel Webster

~A Prayer For Genealogists~

Lord, help me dig into the past and sift the sands of time,

That I may find the roots that made this family mine.

Lord, help me trace the ancient roads on which my fathers trod,

And led them through so many lands to find our present sod.

Lord, help me find an ancient book, or dusty manuscript,

That's safely hidden now away in some forgotten crypt.

Lord, let it bridge the gap that haunts my soul when I can't find,

The missing link between some name that ends the same as mine.

~Dear Ancestor~

Your tombstone stands among the rest

Neglected and alone

The name and date are chiseled out

On polished, marble stone

It reaches out, to all who care

It is too late to mourn

You did not know, that we'd exist

You died, and we were born

Yet each of us, are cells of you

In flesh, in blood, in bone

Our blood contracts, and beats a pulse

Entirely not our own

We wonder how you lived and loved

We wonder if you knew

That someday we would find this spot

And come to visit you.

~Do Not Weep~

Do not stand by my grave and weep;

I am not dead; I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow;

I am a diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunset on ripened grain;

I am the gently falling rain.

When you awake in the autumn hush,

I am the swift uplifting rush.

Of quiet birds in circling flight,

I am the soft starshine at night.

Do not stand by my grave and cry;

I am not there, I did not die.
