took of Herman Starnes at the dedication of the monument there in Monroe, NC
in 2007. He was so happy to see his life's work come to fruition. He passed
away the next year (2008). Arlee
McCoy Herman Starnes should
receive the credit for locating, researching, getting the dates correct, and
getting the members of STA to dedicate the monument that is pictured in the
photographs. Herman was co-author of
the Starnes family book, Of Them
That Left a Name Behind. Herman
was very generous in sharing his genealogy work. He will be greatly missed. Herman Starnes (1919-2008). At one time there was a video clip of the dedication of the monument provided by Darrell
