Zedekiah Peter Hastings-Delaware Cemetery?
« on: Thursday 04 April 13 03:28 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I'm not sure if cemetery info can be found here but I am trying to locate where my great-grand parents (x3) may be buried. Zedekiah Peter Hastings(1827-1906) married Eleanor Elliott(1840-1922) in 1854 and lived in Broad Creek, Sussex, Delaware and had 13 children that I know of.
Once I find the cemetery I would like to have a photo taken of their gravestone. That's if they have a gravestone. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Bob

You could join Find A Grave (free) and create a memorial page for the Hastings family at Laurel Hill Cemetery, Laurel, Delaware and then request a photograph - its explained here -  How to submit a photo request.  Hope this helps.

Thank you very much Sandra! I had a feeling that the Laurel Hill cemetery was where I was going to find them. I will do that with Find a Grave.

I just created memorial pages for my great grand parents. I was wondering if a donation is normally given for someone to photograph a headstone?
