This is our first “big” project for 2010; let’s have a great turnout and make some new friends!

Pitts Cemetery near Warrenton: On Saturday, May 1 at 9:00 a.m. we will be working on the Pitts Cemetery. This will be a training session for persons interested in forming the Warren County Cemetery Society. Carpooling and following-the-leader will be arranged at 8:00 a.m. that day at the WHS museum.

Pitts Cemetery is small with perhaps twenty headstones. Many just need a little straightening. We may be removing one or more trees, but there are only about three trees on the site. Several stones need resetting, but these can be handled by three or four of us.

There is one concrete wall surrounding two graves that we may be asked to remove. Plan on spending most of the day but with a good number of helpers, it will be about a half-day project.

CLEANUP AT BRYAN'S CEMETERY

Saturday, March 20, the Friends of Daniel Boone’s Burial Site in Missouri cleaned up the Bryan Cemetery (Marthasville). While attempting to reset the headstone for William A. F. Grabs, a search for the base ensued and it was found at a depth of about 16” in the earth. While digging it up, the original handmade headstone was found and it was a delightful discovery! According to Marc, the headstone was made of soapstone and is not recommended it be left in the elements.
