James M. Nov. 29, 1943 July 23, 1998   Policeman Prayer: Walk with him tonight, Dear God, Along each darkened street; Walk with him tonight, Dear God, Along his lonvely beat. Keep him happy through the night and please make sure he's warm, and guide him to a sheltering door in case there comes a storm. And let him know though he's not here, my prayers are free from fright, because, Dear God, I know so well, you're on his beat tonight.

This site contains actual transcriptions of tombstones for cemeteries in Ohio. I've transcribed cemeteries in the following counties. Click on your choice below to link to the transcriptions.

I'll be happy to transcribe and photograph tombstones that you request as long as they're within the following counties:
Cuyahoga, Portage, Stark, Summit
I'll even consider transcribing entire cemeteries, or sections of cemeteries on a case-by-case basis. Once in awhile I may have to charge a fee, depending on how much research and how much travelling I'll need to do, but would never do so without working out the details in advance with you.
I f you wish to make a request, or have questions, email me!
