CEMPIX TITLE TITLE TITLE TITLE
Cherry Valley Cemetery is located along county road 10 in the
village of Cherry Valley. Col. Henry Young, the first white man to settle in Prince Edward County after whom Fort Henry, Kingston, was named, was buried in this cemetery, located in Cherry Valley. The cemetery surrounds the Cherry Valley United Church (built in 1862) - the first Wesleyan Methodist Church in Prince Edward County. Land for the Cherry Valley cemetery, which pre-dates the church, was donated by the Ogden family and Richard Hare. Col. Young (b. 1737) joined the British Army at a young age and fought during the Seven Years' War. After peace was proclaimed in 1763, Young left the army, only to rejoin at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War. After the war Young and his family joined the movement of Loyalists to Canada and settled on the west side of East Lake.

Until such time as a photo "Drag and Drop" function has been added to Cemsearch, here is the way to prepare your photos for inclusion in our database:
• IMPORTANT: FIRST select the person in Cemsearch for whom you want to add a photo, then re-open this help screen.
• You currently have selected Thomas Whattam. You can submit photos for his plot's monument(s) or personal photos of just him.
• On your computer, locate the file(s) of the photo(s) you want to submit for Thomas Whattam.
• DO NOT make duplicate photos of the same side of a stone for each person shown on it. For example, if husband and wife are both shown on one stone image, DO NOT make two copies of this image; only one is required.
• For MONUMENT Pictures, do the following:
• Copy this code: PEAL01W2611;
(MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the monument files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code PEAL01W2611;
is SPECIFIC to ALL people on this stone or plot.
• For PERSONAL Pictures for JUST this person, do the following:
• Copy this code: PEAL01W2611^0;
(MUST include the semicolon)
• Rename the personal files you previously located by pasting this code as a prefix to each filename.
• IMPORTANT: The code PEAL01W2611^0;
is SPECIFIC to
Thomas Whattam and your picture(s) prefixed with this code will appear ONLY for him.
• HINT: for convenience, these codes also appear below the Born/Died dates where you can click on them to automatically copy them.
• ATTACH photos (full size; if you can, limit to about 1-2 megabytes in size) with the prefixed filename to an email and send to: helpus@cemsearch.ca.
• If you have further details that you would like included in the "Notes" section, add them to the email as well.
• A caption can be embedded in the filename following the semi-colon, terminated with a tilde (~
). See example below.
• Suppose you have two photos of him with filenames img_2694.jpg
and Whattam family.jpg
• The specific prefix code for this person's plot is PEAL01W2611;
• Your modified filenames will be PEAL01W2611;img_2694.jpg
and PEAL01W2611;Whattam family.jpg
• The text following the semicolon can be anything you want (including spaces), for example:
•PEAL01W2611; north side of tombstone eroded by nature
.
• Add a caption as follows (surrounding spaces optional; tilde (~
) marks the end of the caption; otherwise we will use the complete filename):
PEAL01W2611; Your caption here~ img_2694.jpg
and
PEAL01W2611; Another caption~ Whattam family.jpg
• ALL images for Thomas Whattam and others on the same stone or plot MUST have the same exact prefix up to and including the semi-colon.
• Suppose you have two images for this person's monument with filenames 40thBirthday.jpg
and Thomas Headshot.jpg
• The specific prefix code for him is PEAL01W2611^0;
• Your modified filenames will be PEAL01W2611^0;40thBirthday.jpg
and PEAL01W2611^0;Thomas Headshot.jpg
• The text following the semicolon can be anything you want (including spaces)
• Add a caption as follows (surrounding spaces optional; tilde (~
