“Can I Have a Copy of Your Fudge Recipe?” “Over my Dead Body!”

Yes, it really is “etched in stone.”

Waupaca Genealogy Revisited
I enjoyed volunteering again at my local genealogy society on two Saturdays
in June and August. One of the most useful resources at our Waupaca Genealogy Center are the cemetery and obituary records available (and indexed!) at the center.
Here is part of an article written by Paula Vaughan for the Wisconsin GenWeb page:
"Many Waupaca area researchers have used the cemetery records compiled by Wayne and Alta Guyant and this article is to give a little insight into the work of this very dedicated couple.
Wayne and Alta's research began with the shared interest of the area history and they worked side by side gleaning information not only from headstones and cemetery records, but also clipping obituaries, birth announcements, marriage announcements, courthouse records and etc. Although a great share of their research encompassed the Waupaca County area, they also compiled information in Waushara, Portage, Langlade and Florence counties. They have also compiled information from many of the other counties in Wisconsin.
Wayne and Alta have played a very important roll in preserving the information from many Wisconsin cemeteries. In some instances the Guyant records may be the only known record for certain graves. When preserving this information they spent hour upon hour at the cemetery, contacting individuals, combing through courthouse records, etc. The Guyants personally copied 350 cemeteries."
If you have not visited a local history center, library or museum, you might be missing a valuable resource such as the Guyant books.
