Cheatham-Gibson-Coleman Cemetery, Nov. 6

Our next big project is scheduled to begin on Saturday, November 6 at 9:00 a.m. and this will be a fun project. The Cheatham-Gibson-Coleman Cemetery contains about twelve headstones dating from the 1840s to the 1880s. Many are down or precariously leaning. All need cleaning and several need repair. Most will need resetting in bases, etc. This should be a fun project and not too labor intensive……..yeah right!
