Remembering them to Life

Welcome from the Valley's Leading Cemetery Historian

The Cemetery Historian Logo

You are at the only blog that tells the stories of the unfamous and forgotten who rest in the cemeteries of the Phoenix/Mesa/Tempe area. There are dozens of stories here, and the number grows every day or two. The latest posts include:

    • The Hidden Paupers, buried beyond it all;
    • Eseues Ioma, who I will call Jesus Gama;
    • Judge Taylor, Mesa's overlooked pioneer;
    • Exploring the Cemetery's Segregation, quiet but real;
    • Cleaning off the pieces, and the puzzle takes shape;
    • Sarah (Chambers) Myers, who has two headstones;
    • Mount Sinai Jewish Cemetery (Phoenix);

Each is lifted from past to present: remembered to life. If it's all new to you, just click the logo for the front page. No ads, no product pitches, no pleas for money—just people to meet.
