Biographical or other information about the person

https://mills-sfv.com/Genealogy/GLS/People/Text/705633.txt

Alfred and Marian Parker were buried at the New Wesleyan Cemetery in what is now University City, Missouri. The cemetery was closed in 1952 and apparently all the bodies removed to other cemeteries.

At the time I created these records for the two of them, I didn't realize where their bodies had been moved to, and assumed they had gone elsewhere in Saint Louis. I even put them in a plausible (but wrong) cemetery there. Their find a grave memorials were useless because Find A Grave allows contributors to attach memorials to a cemetery that is known to no longer exist.

Fast forward to 2025 now. I was going over marker photos I took this year and found out that Alfred and Marian and their daughter Kathleen are all actually buried in Forest Lawn Glendale, where most of their children (and Kathleen's siblings) are buried. I am guessing I didn't figure this out before because I didn't know who Kathleen was (she wasn't even in Family Search until I added her on 14 June 2025) and Alfred and Marian's markers have the wrong birth dates on the markers. I am guessing this was because by the time they were disinterred in Saint Louis and moved to Glendale California no one remembered the actual dates or looked them up.

The newer records I had created for Alfred and Marian were more accurate than the original records I had created for them nine years earlier so I kept the newer records and treated the older records as the duplicates.

There is other misinformation currently on some of the Find A Grave memorials (other than the fact that there are two different memorials for Alfred and Marian which show them in the cemetery they were removed from over 70 years ago). Since I have gone to the trouble to research all of this I may attempt to get the find a grave memorials cleaned up also.

While I was looking up the New Wesleyan Cemetery I found a page on the Saint Louis Library website dealing with the cemetery and what records they have available on it (a few of which are online but sadly most are not). Here's a link to that page:
