Thank you so much for your information on the cemetery records for
Valley, Imperial, PA.
My great uncle's name appears on your list and I expect it has been
taken from an MI inscription. It isn't strictly correct and I wonder if
you would like the correct details for your list.
I am writing about the name noted on your list - Thomas Forster -
and suspect that this is how it is written on His Monumental S~tone,
but his correct name is actually.
Thomas Tyrie Forrester
born 1889 Markinch, Fife, Scotland
died 1918 at US Army Base For Sam, Houston, Texas.
He was a young man, far from home, who went in 1911 to USA to seek a
better life. He went to live with his aunt, Margaret Dick [also
on your list] and to be with his friends, the Tyries [also on your
list]. They were a little community from the county of Fife in Scotland
[where you find St Andrews, home of golf]. He was caught up in
WW1 sortly afterwards, and died in November 1918 of bronchopneumonia -
possibly from the 'flu which ravaged the whole world at that time.
I am thrilled to find his name on your page, Thank you so much from a
very grateful researcher for the sterling work you carry out.
Your sincerely
