Went to Goodland's cemetery today. We walked around for quite a while, trying to find the graves on our own. After searching for about an hour, I headed to the funeral home that we had passed on our way to the cemetery, to see if they had a record of who was buried where. When I walked into the office, the lady there was more than happy to look it up for me. When I told I was looking for Charles Bigler, she told me that she knew him. He was a member of the Rotary Club, and she remembers him well. She invited me to a Rotary Club meeting, said that I could come and hear lots of stories about him. They meet on Fridays, and we are heading home on Thursday. I will have to do that sometime, but not this trip.
After the cemetery, we went to the local library. I asked for their Genealogy area, and the librarian led me to a small room with lots and lots of old books. She showed me the books that pertained to local history. I found lots of good stuff, and can't wait to go home and really look through everything I found.
